Part One[/h1][/center]

Interactions: [@Conscripts] Dr. Williamson
[hr]

Munir, having brought the beaver back from his hunt, handed the dead creature to the royal clothier, leaving him with an order of [color=ffce00] “Please, use this pelt to create a pair of gloves fit for winters in Kolonivka. The glove should be elegant, but durable, fit for a royal lady. For the cost of any additional material and labor, my retainer Hazim can see to it you’re provided for. Hazim?” [/color] Munir gestured to a quiet man standing next to him and the man sprang into action, making contact and conversing with the clothier. [color=ffce00] “Hazim, spare no expense. Come to my quarters with a report after you are finished. I would like to catch up on events that took place while I was gone on the hunt.” [/color] With that, Munir gave the quiet man and the clothier a nod and briskly walked off.

While making his way back to his quarters, another of his retainers filled him in on the day’s events that he missed. When the man got to the point of the execution, Munir was rather aloof and seemingly uninterested. Public executions, while rare, took place in Alidasht and Munir has attended them since he was a young child. But, as soon as Mina’s name came up, Munir perked up and started paying attention. When the man mentioned that Mina was taken to the infirmary, more than likely due to a heat stroke, Munir put up a hand to gesture for the man to stop speaking, [color=ffce00] “Take me to her, at once.” [/color] A simple, yet direct command from Munir was all that was said for the next several minutes while the pair made their way to the infirmary.

Upon arrival, Munir gave the same hand gesture as before for the pair to slow down and quiet down. [color=ffce00] “Wait here.” [/color] Munir said as he gently reached for the doorhand, pulling the door open as gently as he possibly could have. Having made very minimal noise up until this point, Munir peered in through the door that is now slightly ajar, and saw that good Dr. John placed a kiss on Mina’s forehead. Munir remembered some words being exchanged between John and Mina, but he did not remember the exact words. He then witnessed Mina placing a kiss on the doctor’s cheek. Munir pondered for a moment, surely this is some sort of odd Northern tradition, to kiss your doctor in such a way…

Right?

Munir cleared his throat to announce his arrival. [color=ffce00] “Lady Blackwood. I heard of your medical emergency and I made my way here with haste. I hope everything is better? Dr. Williamson, is there anything you should require to provide the lady the best care in your abilities?” [/color] Munir said, working to stay calm and treat the scene in front of him as merely a professional one, and nothing more.

A professional kiss on the forehead returned with a professional kiss on the cheek…

Mina’s eyes shifted from John’s to fall on Munir now, a confused smile spreading across her face. She hadn’t been expecting to see him here, but it certainly wasn’t an unwelcome surprise. [color=#758173]”Munir! What a surprise to see you here. I’m quite alright, I assure you. Dr. Williamson is quite skilled at his craft.”[/color] She said happily as she turned her attention back to the doctor and her friend.

[color=#758173]”Thank you John for coming to my rescue. I think I’ll take this to my room now and take it easy for the rest of the day. I’ll be sure to stay out of the heat as much as possible as well.”[/color] She said as she took the things he gave her and began getting up. She then slid the box with her uncle's blood sample over to him before continuing. [color=#758173]”I’ll leave this with you to examine. I might also suggest adding a drop of a similar substance after examining it initially and then watching it. I assure you that you’ll find something very intriguing.”[/color] She said, being careful not to state exactly what was in the box yet knowing John would understand what she meant. She then turned her attention back to Munir and walked towards him, forgetting about the state of undress Mina was currently in.

[color=#758173]”Would you be so kind as to walk me back to my room?”[/color] She asked as she gave him a small bow.

John? His name should only and ever be Dr. Williamson. Munir merely observed Mina as she said some words to seemingly calm him. He noticed that she slid a box over to him. Surely that was a professional gesture as well, nothing more. With his mind clouded by the brief scene in front of him, Munir had not noticed the state of Mina’s undress either. [color=ffce00]“Uh. Sure. I would be glad to.”[/color] Munir replied quickly, unclasping the light shroud he wore to his hunt and draping it over Mina’s shoulders. He turned to one of his retainers, and said softly[color=ffce00] “Bring buckets of ice, iced water, iced mead and a plate of soft stone fruits to Lady Blackwood’s quarters.”[/color] The other young man nodded once and shuffled off. 

Munir offered Mina his arm, turning his attention briefly to John. [color=ffce00] “Dr. Williamson, I very much appreciate the things you’ve done for Lady Blackwood. I’m in your debt.” [/color] Offering a small nod, Munir pushed the door further open with his free arm and began supporting Mina back to her room.
