Treatment Plan [For Samael]

The office is on a quiet side street of the otherwise bustling Commercial District, tucked between a pharmacy and a glassware shop. It's easy to miss; in fact, it's not uncommon that someone looking for the practice wouldn't even see it until they walked past it once or twice. And good luck noticing it at all if you aren't seeking the good Dr. Hill.

There is no waiting room; the front door opens right into his office. Floor to ceiling bookshelves, an old fashioned victrola softly playing Bach, stained wood filing cabinets, paintings of a distinctly religious (possibly demonic) baroque nature, a desk identical to the one that had been in the Nexus upon their first meeting. There's the banker's light, the metronome, along with an embossed silver nameplate and a handsome little stone statue of a black panther.

Regardless of how quick she may have travelled or the fact she did not see him in passing, the doctor is standing at the broad and bright window on northern wall. A window that should be facing nothing but a brick wall, had she paid attention to the orientation of the street and building before entering. But soft, yellow sunlight filters through and there is the distant sound of traffic. He appears to be watching it with mild interest by the time he hears the door open.

"Ah! So glad you could make it. Please, have a seat, and we can begin."

It took her a while to find the place. She did find herself a little lost in the hustle and bustle of the district. Occasionally being distracted by shiny things in the shop windows. Though she had spent some considerable time getting settled in to the area and getting her bearings to begin with. Soon she finds her destination and approached and with a now gloved hand (She had finally dressed for the weather) she opened the door.

She took her time soaking in the decor. It seemed to suit her fancy, especially the painting. She had become so adsorbed she hadn't even noticed the doctor at first. She wasn't really thrown off by the window. She of all people knew how strange places could be.

"Ah, there you are Doctor."

She smiled that same smile of hers. The one that at first glance seemed sweet as honey, but the more you looked at it the more it seemed... off. Perhaps soured even.

"Anywhere or?"
