Who: Sebastian & Snape
What: Medical funtimes and fussing about alarmist conspiracy theory lit quality literature.
Where: Wherever Snape has decided to treat Sebastian.
When: Shundi Evening.
Warnings: Snape. Podder. Books. Avert thine eyes.

When Sebastian arrives to see Snape for his regularly scheduled poking, prodding, and potion drinking session he now carries with him one of the books Severus suggested he read. The collection of brightly coloured post-it notes looks at odds with the well-worn cover and sombre subject matter. He's made a few remarks in his private journal, but the majority of his thinking remains on loose-leaf pieces of notepaper marking passages he needed to expand in order to understand or to contain his commentary and questions. He is a slow, methodical reader and should Severus ever observe him with a book in hand, it's clear that he puts a significant amount of effort into reading. Sebastian hopes that one day, he'll read purely for pleasure and find it as easy as he once rode a broom.

For now, neither of those options are open to him; although, seeing Severus to get his old injuries treated and exploring the city to see if there's any good way to restore his magic are going a long way toward the second.
