[ Breakfast. Most important meal of the day and all that. John's sitting at the table in the sitting room with a piece of toast and what could probably pass as the morning paper (or the closet equivalent he could find in this place). Interesting stuff. Well, not exactly, but that isn't the point. ]

Did you get it back yet? [ Sherlock is around. He's pretty sure he is. Somewhere. So he just calls out as he reads up about some sort of town drama, hoping the detective hears. ] The housecoat, I mean.

[ A few hours later John slips into the clinic, journal in hand. Slow day, he hopes, wouldn't like to see anyone come in after having jumped off a building and slipped, breaking their ankle or something like that.

He sets himself up nearby the front door, flicking briefly through the journal. Hm. ]

The castle doesn't do that sort of thing all of the time does it? Locking people in rooms with tacky decorations? [ It was such a lovely reminder of how painfully single he is right now. :| ]

(ooc; LALA open for journal and in person shenanigans.)

They are, yeah. I don't think I need anything stronger.

Keep taking them then, just as Dr. Beckett prescribed. [ He flashes her a quick smile. ] Sounds like your ankle is coming along nicely, some more rest and we should be able to take that cast off soon.

Okay, I will. Thank you, Dr. Watson. [Vivian returns the smile.] I just have a few questions. How long will it take for it to fully recover and would I need any physical therapy afterwards? I'm a fairly active person so I'd like to get back to my routine.

I'd say roughly it will take another three to four weeks. At the most. And you will probably need at least couple of weeks physical therapy afterwards.

So, well into March then. At least I have a much more definitive answer now than I did before. Right, got it. I think I'll worry about the physical therapy part when I get there.

Most likely. [ There is always the magic route, but she obviously didn't want to go down that road. ]

I'm cautious about using non-conventional methods for healing. Like magic. Just in case the castle decided to mess it up somehow.

That's understandable. I'm not fond of it myself.

I take it you come from a world without magic?

Unless you count the guys that can pull rabbits out of hats as magic, then no, it doesn't exist in my... world.

[A laugh.] No, not really. There's no magic or anything like it where I'm from. No dragons, elves. You get the picture.

Yeah. [ Aheh. ] I miss it. It never made me question my sanity on a daily basis.

I get where you're coming from. But I have been here since May of last year so I'm a little bit more used to the insanity of the castle.

[ His eyes widen a bit at that. ]

That's... a long time.

Indeed it is. How long have you been here for?

Around five months now.

I hope the castle has treated you well in that time.

Well. [ He shifts, the only real problem he had was of his own making. ] It has, I guess.

That's reassuring to know. [Although judging by that shift, Vivian isn't so sure it had always been smooth for him.] Have you gone through any losses yet?
