In my time, a nurse is what we call a governess. A woman who looks after the children.

[She says it carefully, afraid of giving offense. Of course being a governess is a perfectly respectable profession but it is absolutely nothing like tending to medical emergencies.]

But I've heard what a nurse is in the future. We found these videos of a woman who was a nurse in Norfinbury once, whom they say was doing important medical research. Jia Xu. She was Chinese.

[A small step closer to the true matter at hand. She looks carefully for Claire's reaction.]

I do look after children from time to time, when they come through my ward. I'll even let you in on a secret: they're definitely my favorite patients.

[Claire gives her a wink, smiling. There is no offense taken; it's the truth, plain and simple.]

I heard about her, as well. Her role was closer to what I do, although my specialization doesn't involve much research.

[Claire licks her lips. She's just going to tell Kesara her ethnicity, instead of beating around the bush.]

I'm half African-American, half Puerto-Rican. Half black, half hispanic. And if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
