((Issiq was still strange to Noodle. They had traveled to the Ochre Dockyard with its buildings of sandstone and beating sun, to apprentice under a renowned physician. It was a stark difference from the cool air of the mountains, and they were glad to enter the air conditioned entryway of the hospital.)) Noodle was a little nervous, spectating and handing tools on this surgery. Though they had wanted to become a physician to help others, the thought of actually watching a surgery was�...
