Remus Lupin

For the sake of being complete, I expect we should add my assessment of Pleniloquence Ridley: her convalescence from the trauma she's suffered will be lengthy; given her apparent personality and the habits of mind/behaviour cultivated in her position within DogStar, we should expect that she will continue to be difficult; even in her present condition, she is manipulative and powerful.

She would not let me cast any diagnostics on her. We discussed treatments that might ease her discomfort and cognitive symptoms, and at present she will agree only to drink certain herbal preparations. Even there, she is on guard lest we poison or control her via food or medicines. She is, for instance, convinced that chamomile tea might weaken her resolve.

We discussed the properties of many plants and agreed that she would accept a hot, steeped mixture 1 part lavender, 1 part valerian root, and 8 parts pre-boiled water, provided that she be allowed to brew the tisane herself.

I have promised to return in two weeks' time to assess her progress.
