The nurse pointed toward the computer on the desk at one end of the office, facing the doorway leading into a laboratory, her hand shaking slightly and disbelieving eyes flickering toward Sefton as he entered after them. Frowning and wary, Naoki bent over the computer (in such a position to prevent Sefton from seeing it), but really, it only took a moment to see the results. It took a few moments more to really take them in, in which time the doctor's eyes widened and he stood frozen in sheer surprise.

"It can't be right," the nurse said, eyes darting again toward Sefton, her disbelief and uncertainty clear. "I'll--I'll run it again."

"There's no need for that," Naoki said quietly but with steel, without turning around. There was no need to run a test again just because one didn't want to believe it. But oh, this made things complicated. "Go and get Lady Ibuki and Lord Hideki, if you please. And tell no one." There were people in the clan who wouldn't like this. They wouldn't like this at all.

With one last, darting glance the nurse skirted Sefton and vanished through the doorway, and with a slow breath Naoki straightened and looked toward Sefton. His face was unreadable, but his thoughts? Oh, he was worried. Not the kind of worry that said one feared for another's life, but it was worry nonetheless.
