@ioronta said: more and more did he come to appreciate his decision to limit the classes he offered for eager students, as ratio's free time appeared to be taken up more and more by either his own projects or those wishing to further their knowledge in spite of the challenges posed by ignorance. he would not turn away those earnestly seeking to push past their intellect's current limits, and sora was no exception. that said, he never had and never would be in a habit of simply handing wisdom to the masses ; there was nothing to be gained without the necessary amount of thinking done along the way. that said, he was, however, always willing to offer reading recommendations when he thought it beneficial. that day, he handed sora two pages worth of a list, for one, as well as a set of suggested appointments for a physical examination. ❛ these should be adequate reading material for your level — i encourage you to choose one of the dates listed at the bottom for a medical check-up, too. one's health is a matter that cannot be neglected, after all. ❜
Though Sora was certainly a fan of learning new things, and often sought out such things in her free time, the main reason she liked spending time around Veritas was simply because she enjoyed his company. She had plenty of fun hanging out and just reading in the same room— and his book recommendations were always interesting!
So naturally her ears perked up as she accepted the new list of books, already skimming through them when he started speaking, and abruptly stopping when the words "medical check-up" pierced through her concentration.
"Thanks, I'll— eh?" A few moments of silence follow as she attempts to piece together what he meant by that, clearly having a bit of a hard time.
"Like... see a doctor..?" She mumbled, brows furrowed. Why would she do that if she wasn't hurt? Wait— that was something normal people did. Go and see doctors every now and then to make sure they were doing alright, even if they were perfectly healthy at the time.
I don't.. have the same kinds of problems as humans, though. What is there to check up on if I don't have some kind of immediate injury? I can't remember ever being sick, either... is there something else? ...... am I the weird one here?
Her expression was gradually growing more vacant as she internally argued with herself, trying very hard to come up with an adequate response as more and more time passed.
