Zarian crosses her bandaged leg around one of the supports holding up her desk and presses her shin into it, but doesn't seem to have an immediate verbal response to that.

"Are you keeping the injury for data? It's not bothering you?"

"It's not bothering me," she confirms.  "And in fact I'm finding it very helpful at present.  - What were you going to tell me about next?"  She consults a list.  "Cancers?"

So Sarham can explain what he knows about cancer in all its varieties.

And all other manner of medical topics, until he either runs out or they hit the end of the workday!

And then they can rejoin Kyeo and Sarham can go over what they covered and see if Kyeo knows anything he doesn't.

Which he largely does not, in this domain.

Zarian notes that he doesn't.

Colley strolls in in the middle of this confirmation and interrupts.  " - Sarham!!  Do you recognize any of these songs?"  She drops off her write-up on her desk, shoves the sheet music in his direction, and strikes up the first number on her string instrument from earlier.

Sarham recognizes the hook for "Margaritaville" and is bewildered. "That's old but it's not that old! It's probably less than three hundred years old! You guys don't age, you should have more than three hundred years of known history on this planet!"

Colley looks like she's experiencing every holiday at once, and having dance parties at all of them.  "We've only been not aging for about three hundred years!  But we have much more history than that."

"The year-length difference - " Zarian notes to Colley.  "We've been not aging for - hm, 140 years or so."

"Oh, that.  . . . Could the year-lengths be very different, like in Wind-Up?  Where time is different on and off the planet or something?"

"I don't know what Wind-Up is but I guess on top of all the other weird shit this could be a time-dilated planet somehow! How much history do you have?"

"It's 1294 but the historian I talked to last night said we only have concrete details about things that've happened from around the two or three hundreds on."

"But the music is from - earlier than that?"

"She didn't know!  Maybe, because of something about the way it was printed, I think?"

"Because the question here is, like, are there artifacts from whenever people showed up on this planet, such as this sheet music, or, did it show up after that somehow..."

"I bet she would really enjoy talking to you about that!"

"Will she be available soon?"

"She was fine enough with me dropping in last night!  Oh, we could watch the show and then go there together, assuming - Kyeo, do you want to go to Dira's show tonight?  There's two more performances after this if you don't but also don't want to miss it."

Nod nod.

"Do remember that they have to do all their own sleeping."

"Oh, hm.  How much is that?  - You're not making them come in on the weekend, are you?"

"I wasn't planning on it."  She turns to the aliens. "But as I understand it you still prefer to sleep most of the night?"
