Fufu, I'm glad that we were on the same page. I was given a medical book as well, so I'll hope to catch up to you soon so you don't have to handle all emergencies yourself.
[but he'll look through the medicine]
Would you happen to have any guidance about possible sleeping aides? In particular for those who might be having a hard time due to stress or worry.
A medical book? [Immediately looking intrigued by this] If possible, might I borrow it once you're done? The Grail granted me knowledge on modern medicine, but I would still like to cross-reference in case there are techniques I don't know.
[Servant shenanigans. It's fine, Won is friends with Jeanne. But anyway, going back to the question:]
If the bottle lists antihistamines as an ingredient, it can be used as a sleeping aid. Be mindful, though -- some will have side-effects, and continued use will result in the body building up tolerance, so more will have to be taken.
[Humming lightly with thought]
Melatonin is a more natural choice, as it's the hormone produced by the body to help elicit sleep.
-- And of course, I would refrain from mixing any of these drugs with alcohol. It will increase the sedation effect and leave the patient groggy.
Oh! Certainly. I'm almost done with reading it through the third time so I believe that I've been able to memorize its contents.
[how long has he had this book
but he smiles regardless, and will continue to look through the medicine as directed by chiron, nodding along.]
Fufu, given the opening of the pub, that would be quite a choice this week, won't it? Not to worry, I'll only use them sparingly. It just seems that many of our number are worried about their memories and find themselves anxious this week, so it'd be nice if they could get some more rest.
I only ask that you be mindful of who you offer the option to, and on what day -- more sleep is of course beneficial, but neither would I want someone to take medicine that might end with their death, seeing as I expect a repeat of last week.
[spoken with blunt eloquence. Basically don't give someone drugs on Thursday night, plz]
Ah, of course not. People should remain vigilant on Thursday - I intend on going out again this week, but I mention it to you because I trust that you won't be following me out like everyone did last time. [HE DOESN'T WANT A GIANT FUCKING POSSE] I won't be alone, though.
[so it'll be fine! but at the... mention of his headaches... he seems to pause for a moment. he shifts both casually and lightly away from archer, facing him but ensuring some distance so that his emotions aren't easy to read.]
.... yes, but I don't consider it anything surprising. Forgive me, it seems like I'm speaking a bit more freely this week. It's a bit odd, but nothing to worry over.
[yea! soo-won trusts that chiron won't worry too much over him, and even at the notice of him stepping away, his smile doesn't seem to go away. rather, he looks more amused himself]
I apologize - it's nothing personal, just automatic. I think that I'm under the effect of... some type of power this week, something that compels me to speak more about myself even if I don't wish to.
Couple that with the case of emotions being shared and I'm suddenly an open book.
[okay not entirely he's more like a slightly cracked open book]
I do try to keep my headaches under wraps, given that they can cause people undue concern.... but I trust you won't share too much about it. It's nothing I'm not seeking medical attention for, after all.
[he sighs a little]
But I'm glad we both agree it's unpleasant. Instead, I'd like to posit some theories with you.
Have you heard of anyone whose PHS was acting strangely over the weekend?
I am. I rest when they come, and try to manage them when I can. It's - [there is a clear, distinct moment where he doesn't seem to want to continue but] .... it's nothing I'm not familiar with. My mother has similar headaches. So I took note on how her attendants saw to her when I was growing up.
[goddamn this effect but he thinks that's information enough]
Hm.... There's something that I'm looking for - I need to confirm something with a few other people in terms of information that I'm seeking.
However if anyone comes to you with that problem on Sunday, I ask that you inquire about it, and if possible request their team.
-- And you told me that your mother was often ill.
[There's just. A sudden moment of frank concern, Chiron overstepping boundaries without thinking, eyes gliding over Soo-Won's frame as if daring it to keep secrets--]
She is, but I'm afraid that's just part of her constitution. I inherited more from her than my father on most days, I think. However I believe I still have a bit more time before there's reason to be concerned.
[just a bit more time.
but he doesn't seem bothered by that, rather - ]
I ask only that if someone does tell you, you tell me their team, even if not the person involved. That matters less to me than knowing what happens each Sunday to come.
[and he will then add:] There will be something that happens on a person's PHS if their leader regains a memory - whether that memory be about themselves, or the nature of this place.
Thus, it's important to know exactly which leader gains information every week, and how to get that information.
[... He will get to the Plot portion of that comment, but right now:]
... I will assume Yona doesn't know then.
[That blunt statement, though before Won can even reply]
I will not be the one to tell her regardless, as that is between the two of you. I only seek to know so if necessary, I can side-step a conversation about your health.
[Did you know, Won, how much Yona worries? You should. You really should]
... no. I don't think that she knows. She found me once when I experienced a sudden headache here, but... it passed, and I told her it's nothing to worry over.
[which
as far as he's concerned
is a factual statement]
As far as anyone else knows, it was only one day of fatigue.
[Sorry Won he doesn't smile because he thinks you're going to FUCKIN DIE AT SOME POINT
But he does nod, and make a slight amendment to his words]
This has nothing to do with you specifically, I should say. Many have come to me seeking information, and I have more or less said the same to all of them.
I will share what I know when I think it is best to tell it. That is all.
Is that so... Well, I'd hope that they trust in you and your judgment enough to be able to understand that. Discerning when information should be shared isn't the same as keeping it all to yourself...
Think nothing of it. It's information that's being spread slowly, but I also think that's for the best. In some cases, it might be better if people ended up going to their Leaders on their own and then spreading the information from there.
It would be the most organic. The fact that Leaders can listen in on our conversations has been tangling up my communication lines... but it's alright, I'm working around it.

The headache medicine is more for me.

[so Won is correct in his assessment, even if Chiron's eyes narrow ever so slightly]
You have stepped away from me. [a casual response for a casual movement. The corners of his mouth lift as if amused]
It is alright. I am not going to pry if you would rather keep your thoughts and emotions secret.
[he already knows about the nonsense, and though chiron rarely has anything to hide, well-- he is probably the exception to the rule]

[okay not entirely he's more like a slightly cracked open book]
no subject
I was wondering why you spoke so openly about a headache.
[No lie, I was staring at that line like "wtf Chiron didn't even ask, is a twink okay?"]
In any case, I find it unpleasant to learn more about you when you are not in full control of yourself.
no subject
just a bit of a tired look at that]
I do try to keep my headaches under wraps, given that they can cause people undue concern.... but I trust you won't share too much about it. It's nothing I'm not seeking medical attention for, after all.

no subject
I will not share if it is not necessary, though in turn, I will on occasion ask if you are managing them properly.
[You can't tell a doctor about your headaches and then expect no follow-up, sorry]
But no, there is no one who came to me with such a problem. Why?
no subject
[goddamn this effect but he thinks that's information enough]
Hm.... There's something that I'm looking for - I need to confirm something with a few other people in terms of information that I'm seeking.

[There's just. A sudden moment of frank concern, Chiron overstepping boundaries without thinking, eyes gliding over Soo-Won's frame as if daring it to keep secrets--]

The matter goes ignored now.]
I might request their teams, though that does not mean I will share the information with you if I do not deem it appropriate.
[Arms folding behind his back, glancing at the other again]
Unless you are willing to share with me the information you seek.
no subject
She is, but I'm afraid that's just part of her constitution. I inherited more from her than my father on most days, I think. However I believe I still have a bit more time before there's reason to be concerned.

[In faint bemusement, but then he shakes his head and continues]
But very well. Should such information come to me, I will share it with you. However --
[Glancing at him carefully, eyebrows slightly raised]
Keep in mind this will continue to be at my own discretion.
no subject
[and it comes with a gently amused laugh - coupled with a wave of his hand]
But I understand. I don't expect anything less or complete cooperation and loyalty from anyone -
It's just a matter of gathering the necessary information so that every choice we make moving forward is well-informed.
no subject

Of course, isn't that a given?
[SOO-WON IS LIKE
WHY WOULD ANYONE GIVE AWAY ALL INFORMATION ALL THE TIME FOR FREE THAT SOUNDS LIKE ANARCHY AND IT'LL JUST ADD TO THE CHAOS]
no subject
One would assume so, and yet I suspect I have injured a few people's perception of me.
no subject
Is that so... Well, I'd hope that they trust in you and your judgment enough to be able to understand that. Discerning when information should be shared isn't the same as keeping it all to yourself...
no subject
[It doesn't particularly bother him, judging from the sudden, amused smile]
I thank you for the information about our devices, though.
no subject
