Anatomy, 2/22, Period 3

Elliot had tied her hair back and was wearing her glasses and lab coat, and generally tried to look as not-five-years-old as she possibly could.

"Hey people. Easy class today -- for me, because you get to do all the work because it's your midterm presentations. You have 15 minutes to finalize things in your groups, and then you'll be in front of the class. Aeryn, Chad, Peter, you're up first, then the muscular, digestive and finally skeletal teams."

"And if Chad and Henry could stop by to talk to me at the end of class, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks."

[OOC: I'll be slow but around. SP or handwave the presentations if you need to, but I would appreciate at least a comment saying you're handwaving and how well the group did by next Wednesday.]

"It's not a big deal -- I knew I'd catch you in class," Elliot said, smiling. "I just wanted to chat with you for a couple minutes and kind of get a sense for what you want me to do as a mentor. Help me help you, sort of."

Chad turned his head to cover another cough and then, sniffling slightly, he shrugged. "I dunno," he admitted. "What did you, uh...wanna do as a mentor?"

Elliot took a deep breath and went into her shpiel. "Basically I see my role as being a guiding influence, but also a friend. You know, talking to you about colleges and jobs and all of that, but also being a shoulder to cry on if you break up with your girlfriend, or just miss your parents, or your home world is in some bizarro superhero civil war and you're torn between sides." She decided she shouldn't use Cassie as an example, and hastily added, "Not that anyone's come to me with that one yet."

"I'd like to check in, oh, every few weeks, at least once a month, but you can always give me a call and I'll come running if disaster strikes. Is that cool? And do you want a hanky or cough drops or anything? It sounds like you just have a cold, but I know how much those suck."

Chad blinked. Not that anyone could tell with the hair over his eyes, and then he politely hid a cough behind his hand and shook his head a little. "M'good. Jus' getting over it, I hope."

He only answered that part at the moment, because he wasn't quite finished processing the other stuff. Slowly, though, he worked up an opinion. "Guess that sounds cool..."

Dr. Reid did realize she was talking to Chad, right? About talking?

"Check in at the clinic if it sticks around too long," Elliot cautioned.

She hopped up on her desk. "You guess? Tell me if it's too much, or too little, or if you have some specific thing you want to do right now, and I can do it. Just not next week because I'm heading out of town, but other than that I'm yours."

Okay, not going to the clinic. Clinics were bad.

And not thinking of other implications of the phrase 'I'm yours,' either, Yasutora. That kind of mentoring would probably be frowned upon...

Another shrug. "I got nothin' at the moment. But I'll keep it in mind."

"Okey-doke," Elliot agreed amiably. "In that case, I will see you next Thursday."
