*Smiles* That's good, then. I was a little worried at first. Really? Thank you so much, mister. Zephyr Town is quite the way from here.
-Smiles, waving it off.- It’s no trouble at all, really. Oh— I’m sorry— -Frowns, slightly embarrassed.- I’ve yet to introduce myself! My name is Hiro. ♪
And as for the tea— Well, it’s simple, really— -Brings the roots over to the small pot and burner in the corner of the room. Pulls a few herbal tea bags from a nearby drawer and fills the pot with water before beginning to boil it.- All you have to do is boil some tea— Any herbal tea is fine— And once it’s hot enough, you take these roots and slice them into thin pieces… -Holds the roots out so she can watch him cut.- Then you just toss them into the tea and let it simmer like that for a short while.
*hums, passing by the clinic as he bumps into Hiro- quickly grabbing the back of the young man's shirt to stop him from falling over* Are you okay..?
ああ—
-Blinks at the basket of herbs he’s holding, not entirely registering what happened. Turns to look up at the stranger with slightly widened eyes after it hits him.-
Oh—! I’m terribly sorry— I must have been in the way. Ah— Yes, I’m just fine. -Stops to do a double-take of him, smiling.- You must be traveling. I’ve yet to see a face like yours around here. ♪

Okay. Ice cream is okay, though, right? It is getting warmer after all, so ice cream is a favorite of mine with this sort of weather. *About to giggle, but interrupted by the need to clear her throat again* Sorry. Do you think you could teach me how to make the tea with the roots? Since I'm afraid I've never made tea that way before.
-Laughs lightheartedly.- Of course, ice cream will be just fine for you to eat. Any dairy products would surely aid in soothing your throat.
Oh? -Smiles.- Absolutely! It’s no trouble. In fact, I’ll make some for you to take with you— I imagine the journey home is a long one.
Hmhmm... I think that would be a mighty fine idea.
Do you really? -Beams.- Hmm… Perhaps we could both gather plants from the mountains sometime— Plants that are safe to consume, of course— And we could study them closely to figure out what sort of medicinal qualities they have that might help common colds! ♪
Excuse me! [Holds out a tray of Turkish delights] Here you are. ♥
Eh? Ah—
-Looks to the tray with a slight blush— Sweets are a weakness. Blinks.- Oh— Are these— For me, perhaps—?
A little bit, in all honesty. Will I still get to eat sweets? *Accepts the bag with a gentle smile* Thank you. Do they make the tea taste any different at all, though?
-Chuckles lightly.- Yes, you can still eat sweets— Just don’t eat anything too hard or crunchy or noticeably textured that would irritate your throat.
Ah— The tea might be somewhat bitter. I recommend adding a little honey to the tea once it’s ready.
Ah, yes! Spring is when a lot of allergies pop up, hmm? Works been fine as usual for me.
That’s good to hear.
Yes, unfortunately— I myself have absolutely horrid allergies, so I try to be extra careful when going outside. Perhaps you could study to find a cure for plant allergies! -Laughs.- Maybe we should collaborate, hm? ♪
I... I think I have, but I'm usually pretty healthy, so I can't think of a specific time that I have. I-Is there anything that can make it better?
Oh— I’m sorry, did I frighten you? -Laughs lightly.- It’s nothing dangerous. You just need to eat foods that will soothe the swelling and take some medicine to help them heal quickly. Here—
-Stand to fetch a small brown paper bag before coming back to his seat with it. Offers it to her.- If you seep these roots in tea and drink the tea, the swelling should cease very soon.
Okay. *Opens her mouth as wide as she can* Aahh...
-Shines the light into her mouth, expression focusing into something more stern.- Ah… No wonder your throat is hurting, Miss. -Frowns.-
Your tonsils are very swollen. Have you ever had strep throat before?
You can help me by chatting for a while, if you're able? [smiles] It's been a bit since I last saw you.
Absolutely. ♪
-Returns the smile.- It certainly has! Work has kept me incredibly busy recently; I suppose it’s because allergies are exceptionally difficult this time of the year.
How is your work going? ♪
*Gives a small smile, then sitting on the chair* Thank you. *Clears her throat a little, trying to ease the discomfort of it*
-Grabs a light from his desk and sits in front of her.-
Alright— Open wide and say “ahh.”
shotashota-nightfever said: -Not exactly prepared to respond. Looks away awkwardly.- W-Well— I’m just following the instructions I was given.
“From who?” he asked. “I’ve known medical students before and it doesn’t take a medical degree to know your doing this sort of exam all wrong.” He then laughed. “Of course, still, who sent you?”
-Before he has time to be offended, he blinks.- Wait— Exam? What? I thought I was just supposed to— -Huffs suddenly, looking a little frustrated and embarrassed.- I-It was a dare.
Oh, not really... I'm just a little scared of doctor's offices, that's all, really. But... You see, my town doesn't have a clinic like this, and I'm nervous to tell the owners of the hotel I work at, since I don't want them to be too worried, but lately my throat has been feeling a little weird... Could you maybe help me, mister?
-Nods along as he listens to her story.- I see…
-Smiles reassuringly.- Absolutely. ♪
If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a look at your throat. -Pulls a nearby chair over for her to sit on.-
[comes into the Clinic] Hello, Hiro!
-Smiles happily.- Miss Reina! Hello!
What a pleasant surprise. ♪ How can I help you today?
*Nods, frowning slightly* A-Are you the doctor here, mister?
Oh— Well, I’m actually just an apprentice— But I should be able to help you if you need something.
-Frowns slightly as her expression changes.- Did you hurt yourself, Miss?
*Slowly opens the clinic door, looking around for someone inside* Hello?
Ah— Welcome to the clinic!
How can I help you? ♪
I dare you to walk up to a random man, hold out your hand to them and tell them to cough.
A random man…? Ah… He’s going to cough into my hand? -Wrinkles nose.- … I’ll wear gloves.
Hiro? *pokes his head through the door of the clinic, holding a basket of flowers before approaching the counter* Are you here, or should I come back later?
Ah— I’m here! I apologize for not being at the front desk— -Rustling about the clinic in search of something before he stops and opens a drawer to find the lost item— The novel he’s currently reading.- —Goodness— Now how did you get in here…?
—Oh! -Moves to the front desk with a lighthearted laugh, greeting the blonde with a cheery smile.- Hello, Cam! How are you today? It’s certainly been a while since I’ve seen you on this side of the mountain.

True true! But hey you’re cute as tall as you are! [Smiles before patting the top of his friends head.] It’d be a bit strange if you were any taller! Heh and you’re not even that short. Not short enough to be down about it that is!
Well I’m sure you’re doing as well as you can! [Laughs for a moment.] We all get sick sometimes anyway. Especially winter can even get the best of us sick. [At the comment about Ayame another chuckle is let out.] Yeaah she certainly is a special one isn’t she? She took care of you just as you would of her.
Hey! Don’t underestimate me so easily! [Beams with a confident aura.] I have quite the defense system you know, I’m sure I could have at least dropped in and say hi! [Bats his hand, brushing the subject aside.] So you did did you? Well that’s great! At least we have somewhere to start then now don’t we?
Piano huh? Well I guess you are someone that would have the patience to learn a thing like that! Well once you learn something you’ll have to let me drop by and hear something.
… Cute? -Blinks, a light blush spreading over his nose. Furrows brow.- I-Is it really a compliment for a man to be addressed as cute by another man…? -Sighs, defeated.- But Nee-san says the same thing… I wonder if it’s really true… But I’ll do my best to be more of a man in the future.
-Beams.- Absolutely! I’m very excited. I can’t wait to go look there!
Eh? -Brightens up.- So you think piano suits me? -Smiles.- I’ll do my best, then. You can stop by and listen to me play anytime. ♪

Hmm a tall Hiro .. ♪ [Pauses before shaking his head.] Nope can’t imagine it sorry buddy! But I suppose you could try! Don’t think it’s possible, but hey what’s the harm in trying? [Laughs for a moment before sizing his friend up for a moment.] How tall would you like to be then? Cause really you’re not all that short! Just a bit of a midget compared to a lot of guys. [Tone comes out incredibly teasing, before patting the brunettes head in a quick motion.]
Ha, you sound like you’re getting defensive! [Cooes for a moment before straightening his posture and giving Hiro a reassuring smile.] I’m simply messing with you anyway! Everybody gets sick! Just happens ya’know? [Chuckles at the thought of Ayame, before giving a nod.] Mmm that girl is certainly something, glad to see she did a good job in making sure you kept up alright ♪.
Oh Hiro you know if I would have heard something from you I would have come over to check out how bad you were! Probably tease you some, but all in good fun I promise. [Winks playfully at him before raising a brow.] Ah the puppy search, which reminds me that we need to go out and look for one of those little beauty’s sometime soon.. Oh! And what hobby might that be?
Hey, now— It’s certainly not my fault that the Japanese are a shorter breed of people! -Pouts, using his thumb and index finger to measure the air.- Just a few more inches would be nice— This much, maybe. But I probably won’t grow anymore. -Sighs, smiling.- I’m sure I’ll be alright even at this size.
Defensive? -Blinks, waving his hands about.- N-No! Not at all! I suppose that it’s just because becoming ill makes me feel a bit silly since I’m supposed to be a healthy doctor… Ah— -Blushes, though it’s incredibly faint.- I’ll do better from now on regarding that.
Yes, she really is something else… -Smiles warmly.- I’m glad she helped me. I’m in her debt once again. ♪
-Laughs, shaking his head.- I know you would have! But I would be upset with both you and myself if you caught my cold. Ah— Yes! We certainly do! I found a pet shop in Yamabiko not too long ago, but I didn’t have time to go in and look.
Oh— I’ve taken my spare time as a wonderful opportunity to try and learn piano. I had Nee-san get me a keyboard while I was on bedrest, so I can play a few things already. -Beams.- I hope to catch on quickly so I can play long, pretty pieces!
Happy Birthday, Cheryl/Hiro!
Our apologies for running just a couple of hours late on this but, it’s never truly too late to celebrate! Happy birthday, love. ♪ Your friends here at the Masterlist just wanted to remind you that we all wish you the best on your special day, and we wish we could have partied with you! This little trifle cake will have to do instead, hee hee~
We love you lots and hope that you had a wonderful time. Happy birthday again, bb. ♥♥♥

Fair shmare I’m a tad bit taller then you so I deserve all rights on calling you little ♪. [Pats that top of the brunettes hair before giving him a smile.] Ahh and a year or two doesn’t even matter anyway. [Bats his hand in a playful manner before giving a light laugh.]
Ack you poor thing. You were sick at home for quite a while then huh? Well it’s a good thing Springs right around the corner so there won’t be anymore of this freaking cold snow anymore. [Pauses for a moment before glaring at him with a teasing smirk.] Didn’t we recently have a conversation about you reassuring me you wouldn’t get sick? Way to go Mr. big shot doctor man!
[Smiles at his compliment before placing his hands in his pockets and leaning against the door frame.] Aw well jeez if I knew you were going to miss me so much I would have stopped by to see you while you were sick! At least you’re all better now. [Perks up at his question before giving him a simple nod.] Ah I’ve been good! Winter’s kinda boring for me so I haven’t had much to do. How bout yourself? Besides being sick and all.
Hmmmmph… I suppose it doesn’t matter much. But I can’t help being small! -Swats him away, chuckling.- I wish they had a remedy for vertical challenges. Maybe I’ll have to create one.
Oh— Well— -Scratches his cheeks, looking away momentarily— Feeling a bit self-conscious for becoming ill in the first place.- It wasn’t all that long, was it? Everyone catches cold when the weather begins to change drastically, so it isn’t all that unusual. Colds can’t be helped much, anyway— You just have to sit them out and count on warm company to keep your spirits up. -Beams.- Luckily Nee-san gave me plenty of care while I was resting.
Oh—! But then you probably would have caught my cold, so I guess it was a selfish request to begin with. But that’s neither here nor there— I’m much better now, so you can visit as often as you like. ♪ Ah— But other than that dreadful cold, I’ve been very well! Still searching for a puppy— And I’ve taken on a new hobby, as well, to pass the time.
@Phillip ♥
-Visibly pouts.- “Little?” But—! -Pouts a little harder.- But— You’re probably younger than me, so isn’t that a little unfair? -Laughs anyway.- I suppose I am quite small for my age, though. Ah— Yes, much better. I caught quite the cold! I’m afraid my body becomes a bit frail when the seasons start to change, hmhm.
-Shakes his head, mild-mannered. Smiles.- But everything is fine now! So how are you? -Looks at him with sincere kindness.- I’ve missed seeing you! You brighten up the clinic when all there is to look at is paperwork! -Laughs.-
((um wow hi it’s been a little while hasn’t it ;u; so i didn’t realize just how much 20 hours of class would take out of me! i’ve been a bit out of the swing of things but i really want to get back in the groove. please feel free to hit up cheryl, hiro, or kathy or request one of them to come to you! if you have multiple characters please specify one. also ilu guys and miss yoooou ♥))

Ah, have you?! I bet you have tons of Nori stories! -giggles, then smiles- Ah, she is! I don’t think I’ve ever meet such a sweet girl before! I do know a lot of sweet girls, but she’s probably the sweetest! How long have you two been friends?
Oh, well…-thinks about being alone in the dark and getting lost, then laughs sheepishly- If it isn’t any trouble I think I would feel better if someone walked me home. You know there’s lots of scary things that come out at night! -looks over at Kiku- Kiku, will you be okay here by yourself for a little while? -waits and listens to her response- Okay, thank you! I’ll be sure to be careful.
Oh— Hmm… A Nori-san story… She’s taught me lots of things, so there are all kinds of interesting stories! Ah, let’s see— I’ve known Nori-san since I was a teenager, hmhm. ♪ It’s been well over five or six years, I believe…
-Smiles knowingly.- Of course. It’s no trouble at all! Shall we head out?
-Sneezes.-
-Frowns, sniffling slightly and buttoning his work shirt up all the way.-

-Chuckles lightly.- Now, now, Miss Tori— You don’t have to address me that way. We’re friends, after all. ♪ -Smiles brightly.- Ah, I’m wonderful! In fact, I’m on a bit of a mission these days.
Oh… W-would you rather.. I called you Hiro? /smiles curiously/ A mission? That sounds.. very interesting. What kind of mission… were you sent on, H-hiro?
Only if you’re comfortable calling me that. ♪ -Claps his hands together once, looking pleased.- I’m on a mission to find a puppy! Ayame-san said I could keep one, and— Well— I’ve always wanted to have a pet. So here I am, scouring what seems like the world to find a puppy that suits me. -Frowns slightly.- It’s hard to find one, it seems.
—Oh?
-Looks at the kitten sympathetically before realizing just how cute it is. His eyes widen slightly and a faint blush tints his cheeks.- Oh, my— Hey, little guy— Just hang in there, okay?
-Looks to the girl again, giving a small smile.- I think I can probably fix him up. I took a few classes specific to domestic animal anatomy in case something like this happened…
[smiles at him, amused at his reaction to the little kitten in her hands] Yeah… He’s a cutie, huh? [the kitten looks up at Hiro and mewles again, it’s front paw batting out at him]
You can? [smiles widely, her eyes lighting up] Great! Um… Should I set him down somewhere?
-Has to seriously resist the urge to squeal like a girl, instead clearing his throat and smiling fondly at the small creature.- Goodness, yes! It isn’t often I get to see a cat in person.
-Nods.- I believe I can. Oh— Here, I’ll take him. I’ll find a soft place to let him rest while I find the tools I’ll need… -Holds his hands out towards her, quietly excited about getting to hold it.- Where did you find him?
@Kohaku/Hiro~!✿
Nori!? -eyes light up- You mean that really pretty girl with the long black hair?! I met her once before! She’s so beautiful, she’s like a flower isn’t she?! -giggles- I’ll ask if she knows how to make one, it’s my problem after all!
Actually, it’s starting to get pretty late, I should head back home soon. -frowns, then smiles- You’ll take good care of Kiku-chan while I’m gone right?!
-Smiles happily, nodding.- Yes! The one and the same! Hmhm♪ Nori-san and I have been friends for a very long time. ♥ She’s a wonderful person.
Ah— It is, isn’t it? -Looks through the window, bearing a mild frown as he notices the sun beginning to set. Looks back to her with a warm smile.- I’ll take only the very best care of her, Miss Kohaku. ♪ —Oh— Would you like for me to walk you home? I’d hate to see a lady leave alone when it’s getting dark, after all…
im-just-a-witch replied to your post: [walks into the clinic, a tiny kitten cupped in her hands. A concerned expression is on her face, and she peers over the front desk to see Hiro, who is crouched on the ground.] Ah—! Um… Are you the doctor?
[nods, smiling] Hello! Erm— Yes, I found this little guy on the road, and… [frowns, looking down at the mewling kitten] It seems his leg is broken. I couldn’t find his mother, and… [looks up anxiously]

-Stands up from collecting the papers he’d accidentally dropped, neatly placing them in a separate pile on his desk. Looks to the girl with a small smile.-
Oh— Hello! Oh— No, I’m merely the apprentice.
-Cocks head slightly.- Perhaps I can help you, instead?
I know I should have... I was stubborn. [smiles] I'm glad I'm feeling better, too!
Next time something like that happens, definitely let me know. I’d hate to see you come down with anything.
Ah— Have you been to Bluebell recently? I heard that there are a lot of unique plants there.
[walks into the clinic holding onto her arm] Um... excuse me... you're the doctor, right?
Ah— Welcome to the clinic!
—Hm? Ah, well— I’m the doctor’s apprentice actually, but hopefully I’ll be able to help you.

[giggles] Everything else is fine~ Well... nothing quite so interesting... but... [bites her lower lip] Last week I tripped over a vine and fell in the lake... Came down with the chills for a bit. I'm better now, though!
Oh?
—Goodness! You fell? But— It’s so cold outside! -Furrows his brow slightly.- You should have come to me immediately. You could have gotten truly sick, Reina-san.
But, well… I’m glad you’re feeling better. ♪
Aha, yes! That sounds like a good plan.
Wonderful! ♪

Would you!? Wha~! Thank you so much! Oh, but I don’t want you to have to pay for anything like that! I have money so I can buy it myself!
Alright! -smiles- I will keep accidents at a minimum from now on! It’s a promise. I might try cooking things that don’t involve hot objects that I can burn myself with! -laughs lightly-
Dream catchers?! That sounds so magical! Where can I get one? Do they really work?! I’m sure with something like that I’ll get all better! -giggles-

Yes, do be careful. I’ll be worrying! Ah— Where to get one? -Taps chin in thought.- I wonder if my friend Miss Nori might know how to make one; she truly has a way with needlework. I’ll have to inquire about it.
I'm well! [smiles] I've been very busy with research and whatnot.
Oh, really? I’m sure you’ve found all sorts of interesting things, hmhm. ♪
Perhaps we should exchange data sometime! The herbs I’ve collected recently are a lot stronger than usual, and the plants surrounding are always— -Stops himself suddenly, giving a slight chuckle.- —Oh, there I go again. Nevermind me. How is Mako-san?
Which explains why you’re such a pervert!! Nee-san, I can’t believe you!
You took my innocent actions and— And twisted them all around— -Face darkens further.- —I would never suggest things like that to a woman that I highly respect! -His shoulders tense up and raise slightly amidst the mild excitement brewing.-

“Oh come on now Hiro! There’s bound to be plenty out there somewhere! You just have to know where to look~! Don’t fret so much, we’ll find you your perfect little pup ♪.” The young man’s thoughts came to a pause, his mouth gaped as he searched for a proper response. “Ah— Of course!” He chimed, absolutely cursing to himself in his mind for his idiotic response.
“Really?” Hiro’s eyes were big and hopeful as he looked Phillip square in the eyes with quiet excitement. “Oh—! I’m so glad!” he laughed in relief, taking Phillip’s hands into his own for a brief moment to show his appreciation. “Thank you ever so much for helping me! This is going to be quite the adventure since you’re coming along! ♪”
As if suddenly remembering that he was a man and such interactions were probably not very appropriate, he released the other’s hands and mentally slapped himself for doing such a thing. “Ah— Where should we look first?”
