It seemed his nurse was aware of his slightly fouler-than-normal mood, and was making an effort to sound cheerful as she led Klavier from the Sun Room to one of the adjacent doors. She even exclaimed that he should be especially happy today. After all, a guest had made an appointment to come see him.

"...Excuse me?" With how distracted he was with his thoughts, it had taken a beat for that statement to sink in completely. His nurse beamed a bright smile at him as though expecting him to follow along and do the same. For once, he didn't.

"Oh, don't get too excited, okay?" she exclaimed, even though she was the only one looking excited at the moment. "That won't be until later. You just sit here and relax a little until they get here, okay?"

And with that she turned and left, leaving Klavier somewhat dumbfounded. Someone scheduled to come see him? One of the visitors he'd heard about a few days ago? From what little he knew about it... wasn't exactly something he felt like he had the energy for at the moment. This was getting increasingly exasperating.

Klavier took an empty seat at random and rubbed the bridge of his nose, looking more tired than anything else. He had wanted to make more headway on his research today, what with an embarrassingly unproductive two days now. Between his conversation last shift and this new development, it was starting to look like he was going to be far too distracted to get much done today, too.

Actually, the way things were going, it almost seemed like talking to Wright was the high point of his day. This was surely a sign that the world was ending.
