"The pleasure is mine Doctor, and please - if you'd like, call me Anika." she stated, reaching for the coffee cup with her empty, still-gloved hand. "Oh, I love their coffee here, thank you! The owners import coffee beans from small, single-owner farms in Central and South America, and only import their chocolate from the same type of family-owned businesses."
Setting down the coffee cup, she picked up another one of the papers, reading it silently, quickly, and smiling at name. "Well, Nuttal is spelled with two - t's, but she got my first name correctly. At least the part of it I use in public." Setting down that paper as well, Ani began drawing off her second glove, leaving them both on the table near her. "And if she really wants to be a doctor, that would be wonderful!"
Dr D'Ambrosio began speaking once more as Ani settled back in the chair, listening intently. It was on the tip of her tongue to offer to offer to help those families he'd mentioned, simply out of responsibility; but she chose not to interrupt, waiting instead until he had finished talking to respond.
"I have no hesitation about helping you, you should know that. And please don't think I'm stalling; but I do have a few questions. But first of all, thank you for your recommendation, Dr. That is - that's high honor coming from you sir. Truly." Anika was touched, visibly touched by his comments regarding her ability, her work.
Ani lowered her voice. "If your brother is offering me this, will I ever to meet your brother? And you speak of your counsel and protecting me." Here she grew more serious. "How do I know that your counsel is on board with this?" And now Dr Nuttal finally stated out loud the secret that the vampire who had attacked her so long ago, had told her.
"Is Adrien still on your counsel, Dr D'Ambrosio? Will he be coming here as liaison for the counsel, or will you be the only one I go to with questions, or concerns? Will I have to deal with him again? What type of protection are you offering me? Protection from Adrien specifically, or others like him?" Her eyes were earnest, the memories of that night brought back vividly,
Ani continued the conversation. "And if I do decide yes, I will need someplace to collect research, to speak to the families, and patients. Especially if they are special needs patients as well. You know, families or patients that I can only see at certain times of the day." Delicately she lifted her coffee cup, took a sip.
Without her realizing it, Ani's questions had gone from generalized concerns to actually planning for the help she would give Gregorio and his brother.
"As you know, I have finally gone per diem the hospital, I would be happy to assist, of course. Would you be able to provide a place for these patients to be housed while I help them? Will I be able to" She suddenly broke off and laughed.
"So I guess you know what my answer is after all. The one thing that I absolutely do require? A small office near where my patients are located, in whatever building they will be housed, so that I have someplace to stay if the need becomes urgent. I can sleep in a chair in the corner, I've done it before. But if something is going on, I won't want to leave there and try to make my way back and forth. Compensate me for whatever you want, it's up to you. I trust your judgement and honor on that, Doctor. But if it's a dire situation, I won't leave them."
