No, no. This would be more of… an orientation.

Thanks. I just… want the people on call to be able to step in on short notice. [He sends his cabin number and the sign above him reads “Chopped a man’s hand off with an axe to save him from a bomb”.]

Hi. Thank you for coming.

[Malcolm steps aside so Jedao can enter. The cabin is a large, open concept loft, with floor to ceiling bookcases inset with cases of antique weapons flanking a stone fireplace at one end and a bed and dresser in front of a large half circle window at the other. There are headboard wrist restraints with long straps laying openly on the bed. Just inside the door is a stairway up to another room or set of rooms. Between the living and sleeping areas, a large island dominates the kitchen. On it, four prescription pill bottles are lined up tidily next to a card holder full of affirmations. There are stools lined up along the near side of the island.]

Do you want some tea or coffee? Mineral water?

“It’s no trouble.”

He gets the sparkling water from the fridge and pours two glasses, handing one to Jedao.

“Kikimora is upstairs. She spends most of her time there. If you’re covering here, please don’t touch the weapons cases or the pills, but you’re welcome to anything in the fridge. Also, the tv comes down from the ceiling in front of the fireplace. I’ll show you where the remote is.”

“There’s no need to disturb her if she’s upstairs. If she needs anything, she’ll come down,” Malcolm tells him.

“Don’t pick her up. Don’t touch her at all,” Malcolm recommends. “She’ll be respectful so long as you treat her with respect.”
