[ We find Sei at the entrance to the small medic's tent. The tent is dyed red, possibly to distinguish it as a non-combatant tent, with a red-on- black cross over the entrance flap. ] [ Sei managed to find his way here without too much direction, and also managed to catch some appraising looks from some female soldiers on the way over. Many of them were even attractive. Maybe life in the military won't be *too* awful, after all... ] [ Minisession start! ] * Sei peers at the tent, and then claps politely outside the flap. [ A gruff voice comes from inside the tent. "Come in." ] * Sei opens the flap and ducks inside, then. ^_^ [ There's one man sitting at a rickety collapsible table inside. The tent is somewhat larger than most, and has six cots lined up in two rows, presumably for surgical operations and such. The man himself seems just a bit more grim than some of the soldiers you've seen so far, and wears a loose robe of all red. The robe is fastened by a belt with inumerable supplies hanging from it. ] [ The man grunts as Sei walks in. "Are you Say?" ] Yes, sir. (Pronounciation's the same. ^_^) [ The man nods. "Good. I've been asking for an assistant for decades. I don't even care if you're temporary; one war with an assistant is gonna be like a holiday." ] * Sei blinks. "You've been handling this division on your own?" [ The man walks around the table to stand in front of Sei. "Alright. I hope you don't mind if I administer a quick test of your skills?" ] Ah, not at all. * Sei catches himself. "I'm sorry if I slip a bit, sir - I'm afraid I'm not quite used to military formalities just yet." [ The man shrugs. "Not this division, but this company, yes. It's still 99 people I'm trying to keep from dying, and their job's to go out get cut up every day." He waves dismissively. "I'm not an officer, so you don't have to be formal with me. Now, the test." He reaches to a pouch on his belt and pulls out a long, jagged, sharp-looking knife. ] (Wow. Hands-on training!) * Sei eyes it. (This man is my new hero. *_*) [ The man rolls up his sleeves and uses the knife to gouge his right wrist open. He holds the wrist, which quickly begins to bleed a whole lot, out towards Sei. ] ("Yessir, that is what I know as a 'knife.'") * Sei holds his hand up. "Cure." ("It's used for preparing salad, meat, and SLAUGHTERY DOOM.") [ The man watches as the gouge folds in and closes on itself, and nods sagely. "Very good. I assume that you are familiar with surgury and know how to help close wounds without resorting to sorcery?" ] * Sei nods. "Yes, I studied general medicine for quite a while." [ The man nods again. "Excellent. Here's a kit of implements and herbs that should help you along," at this he hands Sei a tool-belt much like his own, "and your medic's sash," at this he hands Sei a very wide, solid red sash with no unit insignia. "That should be all, for now. You've probably already been assigned a tent, and you'll still be sleeping there. You'll only report to me when a battle is about to start." ] Ah, thank you. [ "If I ever need you for anything else, I'll send a runner to get you. That's all, so you can go if you don't have any questions." ] * Sei nods, and bows. "I don't think I do, so thank you again." [ The man nods and waves you off. ] * Sei exits, and decides to look around for his assigned tent, yawning a bit. [ Minisession end! ]
