[h2]Central Park, New York[/h2] "So, I said to him... Oh, look who it is! Hey, brother! The boys and I are over here!" [color=lightblue] "Fargus! I'm glad you and your friends are settling down well! So, how did the doctor's appointment go?"[/color] Fargus's brother, Leo, made his way over to the shaded knoll Fargus and the gang were staying on. Fargus gave his brother a warm hug and a hefty pat on the shoulder. "Ah, it turns out one of my ribs is basically all of the hard outer stuff. Like, no marrow or anything." Fargus shrugged. He knew very little about bones, but Gunther's constant lecturing about health certainly put some information in his head. [color=lightblue] "That sounds serious. Fargus, I want you to take it easy for the next few weeks. With your ribs like this, I'm certain they won't heal properly. Hey, listen... why don't we stop by my office later today? If what the doctor says is true, I'm sure I can figure out [i]just[/i] what's wrong. So, how are your friends doing?"[/color] Peaches and Gunther shrugged. [i]"We've been settling down easy. Haven't had any worries, all things considered!"[/i] Leo nodded, and settled down next to Peaches. [color=lightblue]"I'm glad to hear that. Hey, feel free to splurge a bit; I've got plenty of money to burn, and I'm sure you'll put it to good use. The clinic's always had its fair share of old money coming its way."[/color] [i]"That reminds me. Why couldn't Fargus have come to you for a check-up?"[/i] [color=lightblue]"I run a geriatric clinic, Gunther. Unless Fargus is lying about his age, what I can offer wouldn't be of much use to him. I only deal with elderly patients." [/color] Leo glanced down at the lakeside, and saw a familiar face: Herschel Orenstein. [color=lightblue]"Oh, speaking of which, there's one of my clients now! Old Herschel's kind of a soursop, but you'd be surprised at how much he warms up to you if you're Jewish! Come on, I'll introduce you to him."[/color] Leo, Fargus, Peaches, and Gunther made their way down to where Herschel Orenstein was. Leo, being the one most familiar to Herschel, greeted him. [color=lightblue]"Hello, Mister Orenstein! I'm glad to see that you're out and about, despite your condition! I'd like to introduce you to my brothers: Fargus, Peaches, and Gunther! They've just recently emigrated from Scotland, so I've been showing them around! So, how have you been doing?"[/color] [@Professor_Wyvern]
