I hear it's a game based on the operation procedure. It was designed in a peculiar way and it wasn't intended to be an accurate representation of such.
[Who makes these things??? Why must they be so complicated?]
That would explain why you couldn't use it the correct way in spite your medical foreknowledge.
[The first thing Julius would hear is the sound of claws scrabbling on the wood floor, before Sieglinde, hanging onto the thick collar of the skull-faced beast, got to the door to open it.]
Julius, do come in.
[She moved aside to let him do so, the glowing eyes of the creature at her side following his movements. Since Sebastian has arrived, the butler has been keeping the workshop much cleaner than when Julius last visisted.]
[He bows down respectfully. In his hand there's a tiny package. It's wrapped up in a neat fashion. ]
I don't know if it's within your customs to celebrate New Years and Christmas, but I got you a gift regardless.
Please open it when you can.
[He passes her the package. Sieglinde will find a box of small box of medical supplies. There's objects like pliers, rubbing alcohol, needles and other things. ]
[She automatically dips her head in acknowledgement back to his bow, taking the gift he offered with her free hand.]
Not as some others do, but I will accept your gift with thanks.
[He said she could open it when she could... and she could now... so she did. And for a child receiving rather practical gifts... she looked rather pleased.]
- Hoh, "items that I need"!
[Someone had recently told her that was a sign of adulthood, getting gifts that were needed more than toys or things only wanted... so she appreciated this affirmation of her maturity!]
You have no need for toy pliers. I went and got you some real medical supplies for your studies.
I hope it's to your liking. [Operation is literally the worst game. Julius hates it so much. He gets angry thinking about it. Take something useful instead! ]
I realize that you already have these objects in your workshop, but it never hurts to have spares.
[What a wonderful idea he had- and honestly, her ego was in need of a bit of mature treatment after others gifting her things that made her feel childish.
In fact, the pliers she moves to attach to the ring at the end of the chatelaine she wore around her waist, letting them join a small knife, a potion, a key, and a bizarre compass.]
I am afraid I did not prepare anything for you in turn- you must accept my hospitality instead.
[Julius did notice the change in Sieglinde's place. It's much neater. How long did it even take to clean everything? He's not sure if he wants to know. When he speaks his hands make some gestures. ]
Do you still have the drink you served me from last time? I've grown fond of it.
[Not long at all! ... But, that's only because it was a demon butler doing the cleaning. If not... one shudders to think.
At the question, though, Sieglinde was quick to nod.]
Of course! An ale will chase away the chill as well- do have a seat.
[It is nice. And still nippy out! She's quick to drag the skull-faced canine with her to the kitchen area, soon enough returning with two mugs held oh so carefully as she balances in her mincing gait, passing one to Julius before moving to hop onto her workshop stool.]
[Julius accepts her mug and sits down on a comfortable looking chair. This time he's not afraid of accidentally stepping on something he's supposed to. He looks more relaxed.]
Tell me how have you been doing? Are you well?
[He's mostly asking out concern. This isn't an easy place to be in.]
[Was she well? What a question. Sieglinde took a long sip of her ale, mulling over the question- but in the end, she knew it was a question surely not meant to be...too deep.]
Since Sebastian has arrived, things have been much easier on me.
[Not just because she had someone to pick up after her experiments and make food, but. Also someone to assist her with the delicate task of cleaning and rebinding her feet.]
[At least someone's looking after Sieglinde. She's highly intellectual but it's not bad to have a caretaker around. Thanks for being such a cool bro Sebastian.]
Actually, I've gotten used to hiding from authorities. I'm managing somehow.
[Sieglinde doesn't need to worry about him in case she's overly concerned.]

It's regarding the mysterious board you received.
[He found out what operation is!! It only took a million years.]

[That... Sounds horribly stupid...]
no subject
I'd like to question whoever designed it. It's not practicle to make it inaccurate.
[They must be an idiot.]
no subject
[She'll straight up say it!!]
no subject
[The mystery has been solved, but now Julius is just disappointed.]
Is it alright if I drop by? We can continue our conversation from before.
[They were chatting about magic and medical sciences. It'd be cool if he could learn more from Sieg. ]
no subject
- of course. That will be a better use of our time.

Anyone home?
[She can probably hear him from outside.]

She nods an agreement over her mug.]
Though it's a shame one needs to become accustomed to such a thing, I am glad to hear it.
no subject
[He's so grateful that he's here speaking with a friend instead of rotting in a prison. Julius's tone implies that he's thankful too.]
I won't give up, Sieglinde. We'll work together and make our own future.
[As corny as it sounds, this is how he honestly feels. He's being more open because he considers Sieglinde a friend.]
