"Cheers Dr. I'm glad it wasn't too serious and no my leg is quite content," Ace said, gently raising his leg to prove this. After accepting the pills, Ace somehow eased even deeper into his chair. He accepted the pills with a nod and thanks and placed them in his clarinet case. It was full as ever but as long as it could hold together Ace didn't care. Eavesdropping onto the groups conversation, Ace tried to recall their names. Johann...Mozart...David...Jake...Dr.Capek...someone I don't know...
Ace liked David, he had helped him out on many occasions and was proof that relying on people was more effective than superstition. Johann wasn't the friendliest but he wasn't unlikable either. Dr.Jake, as Ace learned, was nice too. Nice like the Dr.Capek.
Realizing what he was doing, Ace was a little startled. He wondered if he had really been that detached from properly interacting with people all his life. He knew, at the very least, he had many friends before the incidents started. He knew that he still kept them, for quite some time, even though they were dying before Ace's eyes. He no longer regretted it. Interacting with family, on the other hand, was different. Or was it? They both provided him comfort during the tough times, and both groups died just as easily. Or perhaps they were incomparable. Ace left it at that and tried to get some rest, ignoring, as best as he could, the steel touch of the rather uncomfortable but bearable chair. His leg and head was better, he had no right to complain.
