The cold shower helps, at least a little, albeit it still was a small dose. Ready and redressed you step out of the bathroom more or less rejuvenated. It all also made you realize that you need to hurry if you want to get to class on time.
In the main infirmary, Natalie fiddles with some papers, but makes a 'come hither' motion wither her finger as soon as she sees you. You quickly do, and sit down opposite to her - it's time for the reveal.
"I've got your results, and cross-referenced them with your initial diagnosis at the beginning of the 'semester'." She says calmly, and stops to let her words sink in. You grip the side of the desk. Come on, the results!
Then she adjusts her glasses infuriatingly slowly and lays the papers flat on the desk, shoves them to you... And beams. "They are excellent!" You breath a sigh of relief as she continues. "Your results show marginal mental symptoms, and slightly below expected physical alterations. If Gods exist, you are clearly blessed, Chommie." She says, clearly relieved herself.
As you splay on the Infirmary chair trying to calm your pulse, Natalie's eyes narrow. "Ya know, science could use someone like ya. How about we work together?"
"What do you mean?"
With a furtive look around, she all but whispers. "Let's say that my current benefactor's values and my own are widely misaligned, but I need to keep doing my research. Bring me afflicted students, equipment, or research that will assist me in my work. Gods be my witness, I Know I can beat this pathogen, curse, or whatever else this is!"
"Is it really beacuse I'm not afflicted that much?" You ask quietly, adjusting to her own tone.
A Cheshire grin appears on her face. "In you honest daze, you might have revealed some interesting details." She says smugly. Oh no... But she straightens and says sternly. "On my oath I will not tell anyone what you unknowingly said, but please, consider this offer and no matter what, never speak about it with others, especially your Mistress."
As you sit still, Natalie shoots you with beaten puppy eyes, so you turn around. You need to think this through. At least your 'package'is secured.
