"Doc, I think I'm sick" Juno says as she fakes a cough, "may have caught the things going around" Aeron looks up at her, her curly red locks and green eyes staring at him. Juno always shows up pretending she's sick so she doesn't have to do her job. "You know I can't help you, Juno, you should actually try to work and stop pretending to be sick because you'll come in sick at some point and I won't know if you are lying or not" Aeron states. He's barely just got the shop and doctors open.

It's late in the morning when she comes back again. "Hey doc, you got the herbs for the old lady?"
"You've ran me dry Juno I don't have them. I told you it would be awhile" aeron replies, he turns to look at Juno. She's hiding something he can feel it. She walks to him, Aeron tries to step back but she grabs him and kisses him on the lips. He freezes, panic shoots through him. He closes his eyes 'please no. Stop.' She backs off, she looks dejected. Aeron can't keep it down, he bolts to the toilet, his lunch comes back up, he's shaking and panicking. He doesn't hear Juno come up behind him but when she touches him he flinched away. "Go away Juno" she doesn't go "Leave me alone" he yells through laboured breaths. At that point she leaves.

The next time Aeron saw Juno is when he was being chased out of the city for 'working with the palace'. Why was he thinking of that now? As he sits nursing a beer in his new work place, 'gooseberries and grapes inn',where he is less of a doctor.

And alone.
