The Willow Clinic wasn't the one nearest the center of town in Aldrip--more towards the fields, and crucially, near a horse paddock as well. It was where Ethlyn had found employment as one of the clinic's standing healers and where she'd first proposed the idea of what she now liked to call the Arztenritter--"doctor-knight" in old Jugdrali--who could ride out all over town and beyond it in case of emergency medical needs.

After starting on the idea with people she already knew and putting up flyers around town for a general interest-and-training day, Ethlyn made her way to the clinic bright and early in the morning to get things set up for a day of medical and horsemanship training combined.

[If he were to ask Ethlyn about it, she would just say that she's nosy and there isn't much more to it than that. But she's intrigued by Noel. He's a young man who's struggled in life... struggled more than she has, for a certainty. And yet he's still so empathetic and willing to get his hands dirty helping others. She admires that.

Of course, it doesn't make his story any less outlandish-sounding. Not that she doubts him. She's heard about time travel enough now that she can believe it to be real.]

Oh... [She tries to imagine that--going back to the days when Loptous ruled Jugdral, and into the future, and the present, all in one lifetime. It isn't easy to picture.] It must be so bewildering, to see all your world's history within your own lifetime... upsetting.

Why did this person even desire such a thing?

[Another complicated question -- this one, Noel's not sure he's ready to answer. He's had a long, long time to contemplate Caius's motives. His care for Yeul, his desire to free her from a cursed existence...and Noel nearly followed down the same path, spending years waiting to kill Lightning just for the chance to see her again. It hits a little close to home, thinking about it. Talking about it.

He offers a little smile, but it's somewhat strained under the pressure of those things. "Personal stuff," he would have told Serah. Of course, she already knew all of that.]

That's a way longer story than I think we have time for. Are you always this curious about other people?

[Despite the bluntness, he doesn't sound like he minds too much. He's mostly curious.]
