Fandom Clinic; Thursday [07/20].

Whatever trouble Stabby had had with the airlines earlier that week seemed to have resolved themselves, because, when Libby came in that day for her shift, his tank was empty, with a cheeky little "Gone Fishing" sign posted up inside of his tank, and the nurses assuring her that he had promised to send postcards. She was a little worried, though, especially with the matter of his missing cousins still being unresolved, but she was also glad that he finally got to take a break and have a little vacation.

It sure was kind of lonely, though, up at the desk without him, and Libby tried to not be distracted by his absence too much as she worked on her studying.

She was also trying not to be too distracted by the whispering of the nurses over the fact that, apparently, the lobsters had not gone with him, and if that meant anything in particular that they should speculate about.

The Clinic is open!

Where potential crab-lobster drama should not be as compelling as it was, but maybe it was just a sign that Libby had reached a point in her studies where reading about major diseases and research into curing them was getting a little familiar by now?

"Moring Libby!" Kurt said with his usual grin as he walked into the clinic that afternoon. "How are you? Any big clinic drama going on?'he asked with a glance toward the exam rooms cuz you never knew when something would happen. But he hoped all was still nice and quiet on that front.

"Good morning, Kurt," Libby smiled back with her greeting, taking a moment to just appreciate that the loneliness from Stabby being gone would be assuaged at least for a little while now, and then she started to pull over his chair. "And, no, not a whole lot. Well. Stabby went on vacation, and the nurses have had some theories about that, but it's all speculation, so if I said anything, I'd just feel like a gossip.

"But how about you? How's your day been?"

"Oh, well I guess it is that time of year!" Kurt said as he walked over. "Hope Stabby has a good trip. And I've been good. Been doing a lot of chatting with the team and all, they all seem to be doing well."

"Oh?" Libby asked, her head tilting with interest. "Just a general check-in, or is there something going on?"

It seemed slightly less gossipy if she was asking about Kurt's team back home, since Kurt was her only source on them! It wasn't like she could just go and ask them herself!

"Just general stuff. They've had a few interesting missions the last month or so, so I was talking to Logan and Scott about it all." Kurt smiled and hesitated about saying this next bit, but he wanted to be honest with Libby. "I... I do miss the team and really hope someday soon I can start going on some of the missions with them. Not all and nothing too big or dangerous. I... I just think I'm ready to start doing something to help, ya know?"

Libby gave a soft, understanding smile at that, and a small nod, especially with having taken the last break week to go home and see Zo and her family again. It was wonderful here, of course, but just like they said, there really was no place like home. "Do you think," she wondered, "there might be some opportunities over the weekends? Also, I have a feeling that none of the teachers would really mind too terribly if you wound up missing a week or two because of some things back home. They're probably pretty used to all sorts of things getting in the way of attendance."

As they both knew personally, too, with various different times as animals and what have you.

"There might be. I know I'd be relegated to the sidelines for most of the missions at first, but still... getting out there and actually being part of the team, actually being able to do something to help... I'd like that." And Kurt considered Libby for a moment before reaching out to take her hand in his gently. "Would you be ok if... if I started doing more with the team? It would just be here and there, I wouldn't be gone for long when I did. I'll always come back to you, Libby" he said with a reassuring smile.

"Kurt." Libby gave him a soft smile as she let him take her hand, turning it so that she could give his own a small, reassuring squeeze. "I wouldn't be worried about that. Of course I'd be okay with you doing more with your team. Why wouldn't I? I know it's important to you, and, honestly, it would be really great experience. You'll just have to tell me," she laughed a little, "all about how things go, because I'll want to hear every detail."

Kurt smiled, comforted by both the squeeze of his hand and the words Libby said. "Thank you, Libby. And... of course I will let you know whenever I'm called away and will tell you everything I can about what happened when I get back!"

Wouldn't it be something if it turned out that Stabby had actually been putting up a whole act this whole time and didn't actually go anywhere and instead was just hiding out in one of the exam rooms?

It would be, but, alas, that was not the case. Libby had checked.
