He walked inside, there was a nurse there. The nurse had a surprised look on her face cause she had never seen this person before.
"Hello! Can I help you?"
Jack had no words for this person, so he merely pointed at the wound he received.
"Oh my! That's quite the scraped knee you have there, allow me to wash it first."
And so, the nurse used a wash cloth to wipe the blood off. She then put some alcohol on a cotton, and brought it closer to his wound.
"This may sting..sorry."
This indeed, hurt a lot. But Jack didn't show any signs of pain, since he knew it was just a part of a process to cure his knee.
She then placed a bandage over the knee.
"There…done."
Though, the nurse was quite confused by something.
"Didn't it hurt at all doing that? You didn't even change your facial expression…"
Jack plainly responded "It didn't hurt." As if it was an obvious fact.
"Oh…how strange. Why haven't I ever seen you in town before Mister…?"
"Jack, my name is Jack."
"Oh, well it's a pleasure to meet you Mister Jack, my name is Elli."
"Hi Elli."
"…Well..hello to you too!"
"…I'm…going to go…"
"Oh..well alright, just if you have any other injury problems, you know where to find me!"
"Bye."
And so Jack just left the Doctor's place as soon as he could.
"What was… that feeling I had when I talked to her…"
For the first time in his life, he had acquired happiness from having contact with another human being, it was a very strange and odd feeling, and he did not understand it in the slightest.
"What should I do…what should I do…"
He kept saying this to himself over and over. Should he talk to her again? Just like that? No, that would never work. He had little to no knowledge concerning her, but yet he found himself wanting to know more about her, and this again, confused him very much. But how would he do such a task? Should he ask the townspeople? Haha, what a ridiculous thought that was. Relying on others for such a task is pointless. He knew he had to take care of this task himself, and he knew just what to do.
First off, he had no idea where she lived, surely she didn't live in the doctor's office…right? So in order to acquire information, he had a plan.
"I will hide behind this sign until its time for her to go home."
And that's exactly what he did. Stood still behind a sign, being completely motionless.
Normally, doing absolutely nothing for a long time was a complete snap for this person, but for some reason, he was feeling quite anxious.
"I want to know where she lives, I want to know where she lives." He kept thinking to himself.
But still, he managed to control himself and stay in hiding for a very very long 8 hours. When he saw her leave the building, he almost gave out a "YIPPEE!" after so much waiting, but of course he controlled himself. She very slowly was walking to the path on the left, completely unaware of his presence. Once she was a good 20 feet away where he was, he began to slowly follow. Which finally revealed the house she stayed at. She walked inside with Jack still following, but he stayed outside the house of course.
"So she lives here…perhaps more information gathering is possible."
To this, he hid under a window, where he could hear voices.
"I'm home~"
"Elli! Welcome home, how was work today?"
"Pretty uneventful as usual, though I did see a strange farmer come in."
"A farmer you say? Why, I've probably only seen that boy once or twice, he never leaves that farm of his, quite strange really."
"Oh, you think its him?"
"Its gotta be him!"
"How very odd…oh my god are those strawberries!"
"Why yes, I bought some at the supermarket for you."
"Thank you grandma! You're always so kind to me."
And the information gathering was complete.
"Strawberries…she likes strawberries."
And he quickly ran home with this new found information.
