Fandom Clinic; Thursday [11/10].

After Libby had finished her usual rounds and tasks at the start of her clinic shift, she settled in behind the front desk to turn her focus onto some of her training modules and lessons on the computer like she usually did every week, only to find that there was a familiarly shaped game controller waiting for her.

After sending a skeptical look over toward Stabby's tank (who, for the record, was oh-so-innocently not paying any attention), she turned her attention back to the computer to see that the lesson that awaited her was very, very different from all the reading and testing she would usually be doing.

And it was all very interesting, sure, but, after a while, frowning she had to admit, "I really don't see how this is supposed to help me with nursing..."

She didn't know why she bothered to say it outloud, because she knew the nurses would just shake their head in dismay like she still had so much more to learn on her journey to true nursehoood.

The Clinic is open!

Maybe Libby will let out take a stab at the crab simulator, too! Maybe you can help her understand how this has anything to do with being a nurse!

"Hey Libby, how's it going?" Kurt said as he walked in, as usual, right around lunchtime. This time he might have been walking a little slower and being a little more careful with the bags he was carrying.

Libby was a little relieved to hear the door open so she could take a break from the simulation, and that relief grew even more when she saw who it was coming in.

"Hi, Kurt," she said, smiling over at him, a smile that went a little wry as she lifted the controller. "I'm learning how to be a crab today, apparently. How are you?"

"That sounds.... interesting," he said after giving a somewhat confused look at the controller and then Libby. "Have time to take a quick lunch break?" he asked hopefully.

"Probably a good idea to take one now," said Libby, pressing a button on the middle of the crab-troller to pause the program before setting it aside, "before all I want to eat are prawns and other small fish."

She was glad that Kurt seemed just as confused about the crab thing as she had been; the nurses almost made her feel like she was missing some very key, cultural element. But if she didn't get it, then neither did Kurt, and that was fine by her.

She rolled her chair back to grab another one, and pull it up so he could have a seat next to her.

Yeah, Kurt was just as clueless about the whole crab thing in general to be honest.

He gave Libby a smile as he took a seat, setting the two bags down and pulling one over closer with a grin.

"Been feeling a little homesick with the holidays coming up and all, so I decided to make one of the meals we used to eat a lot once the weather started turning cooler. Hope you like grilled cheese because we have that and some potato and sausage soup to go with it!"

"I love grilled cheese," said Libby, and she loved that something so familiar to her would also be familiar to him, too. "And that sounds amazing, Kurt, thank you."

The second bag was getting a little bit of a curious headtilt, but most of her attention was going into carefully opening the utensil drawer, just in case it was filled with coffee again.

It was thankfully not, so she plucked out a couple of spoons and closed it with far less caution.

"I'm honestly a little excited," she admitted, "so see what the holidays are like out here. It's always been a fairly quiet sort of thing back home, but I know it's very different most other places."

"It will definitely be different, that's for sure," Kurt said in agreement as he got his own container open and ready.

"I wasn't sure what your plans were for the holidays so didn't know how much you would be around once classes are done. Wanted to make sure our lunch dates didn't suffer too much if we were going to be away for the holidays coming up."

Because it was oh so conflicting to know whether to make a quick trip home for the holidays or stay here and hang out with Libby and anyone else sticking around during the break.

"I'd like to think," Libby noted, maybe a little softly, as she tended to her own container, "they'd be able to survive a brief hiatus, if they had to...

"But I'm not sure yet," she then admitted, eager to move on from that thought, "what my plans are going to be. Zo threw around the idea of celebrating with her family this year; they're not religious, though, so she says it's mostly just an excuse for a big meal and gifts. I think my Grandma Jean might want to do something big, too....I think she feels she needs to make it up to us, since she's already missed so many Christmases..."

"I'm sure you will have a great time no matter what you end up doing!"

Kurt took a few bites, trying to keep his eyes off the other bag. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and looked at Libby.

"So, I have a little something for you. It's nothing big, I... just wanted to get you some little something before all the potential holiday insanity hits.". Here he gave Libby a shy smile. "Do you want it now, or in a bit?"

And Libby just blinked up at Kurt in surprise.

"A gift?" she asked, glancing toward the other bag for a moment before her wide eyes went back to him. "For me? Really?"

Oh, but she didn't have anything for him! Should she have? No, it should be fine, he said it was early, but now she really would have to get him a gift in return...

"Aye just something I want to give you" and with that Kurt handed her the bag with the gift basket from Nell's. Inside was several oh so moddable tea blends, lotions, soaps, and the small variegated white African Violet.

Perhaps when using that controller develops a bad case of...crab-ple tunnel syndrome?

I am not proud of myself for that one, no.
