You are an Egrassel. You work as a dentist in one of the cities, and Alfred Medic is a student in practice at the institution where you work.
Alfred was rumpling the office floor. The old mop, like any other medical facility in this small town, was surprisingly easy to reach hard-to-reach places. You were sitting next to each other, writing your weekly report. Alfred set the broom aside in the corner of the office, yawning weakly. The patient's appointment was due to arrive soon, so there was still about five minutes to rest.
Or not. He tried to get lost in time while he was cleaning the office. Alfred looked up at his watch and shivered. The patient should have been here ten minutes ago. — Emm... Mister, I don't think the patient came in... — the student turned to you, hands clasped behind his back, looking a little worried. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation in practice.
