She couldn't help but laugh a bit at the expression on his face after she spoke of her experiences the previous LongNight. "Let me guess, you're one of those people that wasn't really sure if they should believe all the scary stories?" she said, raising a brow, a knowing look in her round honeyed eyes.

His explanation of why he had been away made her laugh a bit as well. "If you could call what happened to those like me quarantine I suppose. Though you bring up a fairly good point, perhaps we should develop a more rigorous quarantine procedure for the Grounds should something of similar threat ever happen again." she said softly, jotting down a few notes. "Well, still you are only here because I called you here. That is rather what I wanted to talk about." she said softly, a knowing smile on her lips.

"I remember when you helped with the original research on the blight that you noted that cells were well-known in the world you came from." she said as she sat, looking over at him with a warm expression. "Most of the people here don't come from places that are nearly as medically advanced as yours, and those who did don't have a knowledge base in the subject to be helpful. I was hoping you might want to be more invested in getting us up to speed with everything your world already knew about cells and the body and such." she said, tilting her head to the side to watch his reaction.
