**Enter Van der Mullen from Main Room, 277**
*Van der Mullen sees Cora peek her head out of a doorway. He catches up to her*
I'm here... what can I do to help?

:::Cora takes it upon herself to make the introductions:::
Ah, good. Bard, this is Dr. Van der Mullen. Doctor, this is our good friend Bard. And this young woman is Maggie.
:::Cora walks over to Maggie, smiling at her now that she is awake::: You're doing so wonderfully Maggie, don't worry, we've got help.

*Dr. Van der Mullen glances at Bard, noting that he looks somewhat familiar, he then looks over at Maggie. His eyes widen, and his face reddens*
H-Her? You want me to help her? But she's... she's....

*Maggie frowns uneasily as she sees who Cora has brought with her, and her expression darkens at Van der Mullens reaction to her*

She is a patient. and You are a doctor. Now, if you don't mind, you told me you'd be willing. :::Cora put sher hands on her hips:::

*Van der Mullen chuckles. He shuts his eyes and rubs his temples with his thumb and index finger*
Miss Serenis... there's been a slight mistake... I am an academic doctor. Of mathematics and philosophy. Not a medical doctor.
*he glances at Maggie and back at Cora* I would be happy to help the str--... Maggie... if I could. I will help if there's anything I can do... but...
*he shrugs, almost apologetically*

*hearing Van der Mullen, Bard heaves an exasperated sigh and turns his attention back to Maggie*
Thank you for at least coming to help, Doctor.
*he produces the electronic thermometer*
Maggie, I need you to slip this under your tongue and hold it there until it beeps.

:::Cora doesn't even flintch:::
Its no matter. She picks up the bottle of fluid that Bard showed her earlier, then takes back the glass and begins to pour:::

*Maggie continues to frown at Van der Mullen for a moment, but then closes her eyes, too weary to maintain any anger towards him*
*She opens her eyes and refocuses her attention on Bard. She looks at the thermometer in slight bewilderment, but takes it obediently and puts its under her tongue as he instructs*

*Van der Mullen mills in the doorway, a bit embarrassed to be the fifth wheel and quite unsure whether he should go or stay. He watches Bard, who apparently knows more about medicine than he does, and he watches Cora, who is measuring out some sort of tonic for the strumpet to take.
He is a bit disconcerted also that his eyes (quite of their own accord, to be sure) keep wandering to Cora's extremely bare legs. The third time he catches himself staring, he forces himself to look at Cora's face.*
Miss Serenis, I will be in the main room. If I may be of any help, do not hesitate to call on me.
*with that he turns quickly and returns to the bar*
** Exit Van der Mullen to Main Room, 277 **

:::Van der Mullen is gone before Cora looks up, and so she just continues to prepair Maggie's treatment. She finishes with the liquid and sets it down:::
Bard, where is the drug we intended to administer to her?

*Bard shakes the bottle like a rattle. He undoes the adult-proof cap, pulls the safety seal off the mouth, and fishes out two aspirin*
*The thermometer chirps. Bard reaches over and pulls it out of Maggie's mouth. He reads the display with a frown*
101.9 ... Maggie, we want you to take these pills and drink as much liquid as you can. That and rest will help you feel better.
