[but not impossible. however, Manabu's not a witty banter kind-of-guy, so Grey gets to sit on that somewhat-high horse while the tablet's finished booting up.]
Well, here's hoping there's no tracer bug on this thing...
[or they'll have to hop places. and there goes the convenience of laundromats!
it's good to have a task to focus on, boring though it may be, because otherwise Manabu might dwell too hard on his ass hurting, and that's hardly useful for recovery. for now it's perusing files - some the tablet can open, some it can't - and skimming names amid the medical and technical jargon beyond his grasp. he'd be more worried about violating privacy policies if he stumbles across any medical data, but he's gotta be real: he knows he won't remember any of it.
except...]
Hey. [he breaks the quiet eventually to tilt the tablet Grey's way.] This one's...about animals, right? I saw "canine" in the title.
[sure enough: canine genetic maps and markers, with certain points highlighted as "potential tethers," scaled in a hierarchy of most to least viable on a matrix of various other labels Manabu can't read. cats, birds, rodents, people.]
