>Small smile.
>"You handled Louise well. You make a good negociator."

>Neu gives a sheepish smile at your compliment and her antennae curl inward. "I'm more comfortable with charts and manifests, to be honest, but I do try. Thank you."
>She takes a breath and nods. "I'll be back soon."
>And with that, she turns and crosses the remaining distance to her ship and ascends the gangway. You see her exchange a brief remark with Chisato, still on deck watch, though they're too far away to hear over the general noise of the rest of harbor. You do see the redhead cast an odd look or two in your direction, though. Then Neu disappears below the railing and is gone.

>Give Chisato a friendly wave.
>Do we smoke?
>Hunger status.

>You give Chisato a friendly wave, and she does return the gesture, albeit a touch awkwardly. She seems vaguely confused, perhaps by why you're still down here. At least she isn't looking at you like you're some sort of pariah, so Neu probably didn't say anything about it to her.
>You most certainly do not. It's always seemed like pretty off-putting stuff to you, better for triggering coughing fits than actually enjoying in any sense.
>Now that you think of it, you are pretty hungry. You had a relatively light breakfast and a similarly light lunch, and you've been on the go for hours since then. You guess you'd been too busy to really notice.

>Await the moth's return.
>Keep an eye out for Watch activity, or any sign that someone from customs went to report the 'incident'.

>You stand around and wait for Neu's return. Minutes pass and then a few more. You find a bench to sit down on, but get tired of that quickly and take to pacing. Time crawls forward. You turn an eye to the crowd every now and again, looking for Watch activity or anything else of note. You do see a couple of watchmen pass by on patrol, but they look nearly as idle as you do. Work and daily life goes on, each man and woman doing their bit as a cog in the bustle that is the harbor's ever-present companion. Life goes on... if only that it would. Still, there is no sign of Neu. You think it's been a half hour now.

>Is Chisato still up there?

>She is. She sometimes moves around a bit, but generally returns to the same spot afterward. However, she mostly gave up paying any particular attention to you a while ago.

>You retrieve the pear from your pack and brush it off, then start nibbling on it while you wait. It takes only the first bite to pointedly drive home how hungry you are. The rest of the fruit swiftly follows after it, and you find yourself wanting more. There is still no sign of Neu.

>There are some restaurants a little further off the docks. You can see them from here, but wouldn't actually be able to keep a good eye on the ship from inside. Or be spotted from there, for that matter.
>You decide to wait where you are a little while longer. And longer still. It can't be good for her to be taking this long, can it? Are you really going to be left stranded here, a sky away from whatever hope you have of curing yourself, consigned to find some way to sleep with the knowledge that another week has been cut from what remains of your life? The crowd moves around you, oblivious to the thoughts churning restlessly in your head. Your stomach growls. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a white figure crest the railing of the ship.

Idea on the ethos front: While no medical practitioner had experience with our condition, none of them saw fit to quarantine us. Presumably, if we were carrying a lethal airbrone contagion, we wouldn't be wandering around amongst the general populace, would we?

>You visited all the physicians you could contact on the list Rinnosuke gave you last night, which totaled about 6. None of them is more distant than 15 minutes or so walk from your current location.

>Neu crests the gangway, exchanging another brief word with Chisato, then descends and approaches you.

>You hold your position and watch Neu approach, deciding to let her speak first. You try to get a sense of what sort of news she's coming to deliver, but her bearing is reserved and hard to read. She nods to you once she reaches a comfortable conversation distance.
>"I'm sorry for taking so long," she says. "The captain is willing to speak with you now."

>Neu returns your nod graciously, but stays silent.
>You make your way onto the ship and over to Murasa's cabin, Neu following a polite distance behind. Chisato gives you an odd look as you pass by, but also says nothing, glancing uncertainly in Neu's direction instead. Once you reach mid-deck, the moth youkai hangs behind and you cross the last few feet on your own.
