"I'd like to talk to Lisa Black."
"Right." John nods. "I'll send someone to find her, and I'll be back once the rest of my work is done. Just, hold tight until then."
You find yourself alone, at least until another knight walks in. You don't recognize her, and she just waves at you awkwardly.
"Medic asked me to stand by in case you need anything," she says. "I, er. I'm sorry about what happened."
You aren't sure what to say. You're not really in the mood to socialize, but at least you're not alone any more.
You settle on "Thanks," and leave it at that. Neither of you is very talkative, it seems.
It's a few minutes before Lisa arrives, and the other knight apologetically lets herself out.
"Damn. It hasn't been a good first week for you, has it?"
"Not really. I was hoping you could help to take my mind off things for a bit."
"Well, cards are probably out then. I'm sure you can play one-handed, but it's going to keep calling your attention to why you need to do that."
"Probably."
"But there's always word games, those are good for passing time. Or we could just talk if you'd rather. What do you want to do?"

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
