You can start next week. Training's usually ten weeks for new recruits, but since you'll be going back to Lundegaard it'll be a little up to you how much you want to learn and from who. You can come out on calls with us or work in the hospital, whatever you think will be more beneficial for you. If you want to stay over for a few overnights we can clear out an RV, or there's room for you to park your own vehicle. Whatever's comfortable.

I run day shift, Crystal's on night shift. You'll get along. [...] Maybe don't bug her right now, though. I think she's pissed at me.

Alright, I will see what I can do to get my things in order over here quickly. I am not purely an academic, I do have some medical training, so we may be able to save time early on. I'm most interested in working in the hospital, though that may change. I would prefer to stay the night at Lundegaard but we have few vehicles here and we are possibly taking on an infrastructural project at Whitney soon, so I will need to see what options for travel are available to me. I'll let you know if I'm in need of an RV. I appreciate your flexibility. Thank you.

[...] May I ask what happened? I don't want to run afoul of any personal politics.

We could loan you a horse, too, if you know how to ride.

Ah, long story. It's been weird with us since we lost Celia. [...] They were close.

It's been a long time, but I do. Although I could probably use a refresher.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I can only imagine. [...] If you think we would get along, maybe she might like me to 'bug' her.

Lucky for you I used to teach lessons.

She might. Just don't tell her I sent you.

Really? That's convenient.

I won't even mention you.

Mostly trail rides for tourists but I'm adaptable.

Thanks, Maggie.

Ah, so that's where your charm comes from. My mother is that way. Tourists to where?

You're welcome.

Whitefish. It's out in Montana, near Kalispell.

Oh, so not so far. Have you ever considered trying to go back?

Honestly no.

Did you not like it there?

I liked it well enough. Don't need to see what it looks like now. [...] Besides it's hard to get away these days.

Maybe a relief then that you feel no pull to Whitefish. [...] Are things very different now, without Celia? With your work, I mean. Obviously things are different in other ways.
