Day 66: Breakfast
What Guy had seen on that scan resulted in some mixed feelings. While he had expected to find something in Claude, seeing how he was sick, it hadn't been quite the same as what they'd seen when they had scanned that other ill patient two nights ago. What did that mean? It was possible that the shape of it just looked different because of where it was in Claude's stomach, but Guy couldn't help but feel that there was a deeper meaning to it.
Yet another thing that he didn't understand, then. With a sigh, he got himself up out of bed and went searching immediately for the single leaf that he'd taken from the X-ray room last night. It was stored carefully in his possessions box, which meant that he didn't have to worry too much about that.
While he wanted to quickly sketch the leaf's general shape to post on the bulletin, Guy wasn't given that chance, as his nurse showed up before he could even grab for his journal. He had to relent and let her lead him to the cafeteria for breakfast. While Guy considered stopping by the bulletin to leave a note, that could wait until after he ate. He suspected that Anise or Luke would try to find him as soon as possible to tell him about their findings, so leaving a note for them would be redundant.
He did need to ask about the clue from last night and see if anyone else had further insight on it, but that might be something Claude wanted to do, seeing how he had a better idea of who that baptist was and what it all might signify.
After collecting a small amount of food onto a plate, Guy took a seat near the cafeteria's entrance, keeping an eye out for any of his friends so he could flag them down as they walked in.

The leaves, however, at least seemed like they ought to have a use. "So you don't know what kind of plant it is?" That made it really hard to figure out what it meant. "Maybe someone else in the institute would know... like if someone made a sketch and put it on the bulletin board?" There were experts of all kinds of weird things around them, from what Anise had experienced. It couldn't hurt to ask.
It was just a suggestion, and maybe making a sketch wouldn't be feasible. But if they were supposed to take those leaves as some kind of hint, figuring out what the heck they were seemed like a good way to start.

"I wanted to do that," he told Anise, "but I didn't get a chance before the nurse came and got me this morning. I didn't get a very good look at the leaves last night, so I'm not sure I could just draw it from memory." Or at least not with the accuracy that would be needed to identify a plant like that.
There was a small chance that one of the nurses would let him return to his room for a brief moment and he could do it then, but Guy didn't want to rely on that. Which left...
"We'll have to keep an eye on the bulletin, too. I bet other patients saw the clue, so people will probably be talking about it." It was frustrating that so much of this relied on the knowledge of others. Guy would have rather taken it all into his own hands, but Landel wasn't making it that easy. No surprise there, really.
