Infirmary with Tavi

[balancingminds]

Charles is in the infirmary reading through medical journals on neural imagery and wondering how it might be used to improve Cerebro. In the waiting area, he's taken over a table which is at the right height for him and taking notes.

Its quieter in here and he'd feel odd bringing these modern journals back home and the library upstairs has a few too many memories.

Its oddly familiar and makes Charles miss Oxford,

"Scholars never agree on anything, but there are starting places. Its a little easier outside of academia."

Tavi rolls his eyes expressively.

"It's worse when you're a student still and you have concrete proof they're wrong, or approaching the problem from the wrong angle. But because you're a student..."

He spreads his hands and shrugs, helplessly. Between the Romans and furycrafting and that thesis all the furycrafting theorists ignored, he spent his school years quite frustrated.

"Then you have to be polite and listen and wait for your turn to talk even though you know you're right,"

He's been there.
