Continuing on his circumnavigation of the floor, Thoron assumes his partner will have everything taken care of, and moves to lie in wait in the restroom. At the very least, he would be able to ensure it was secure for when the target arrived... Perception to search the restroom for people. 23

A lead, maybe? Leslie didn't entirely expect them to have stumbled onto anything concrete yet, but she wants to be close enough to the action, as one might say. Buuuut it'd probably be bad to just shamble up to Silas and his new friend. She doesn't want toooooo....
She just doesn't want to talk right now. Actually doing work made her forget she wants to just do nothing. Why is she up again? She could of slept in that seat.... they'd probably only kick her out after an hour. An hour well spent... And hour well slept.
She won't join the conversation, and she can't just stand there in the lobby... time to follow Thoron to the restrooms. If there's seats outside them she'll take a spot, if there isn't, well, if it worked before... Leslie'll take a lean against the wall next to them and pull out her datapad again. Maybe she can get some tips for her Espurr from child raising info sites.

"Hello, miss," The lady at the window says, with a large (and likely plastered on) smile. "Are you here to purchase some chips, or cash in your winnings?" She makes it all sound so easy... clearly this must be a great way to make money.
Silas
"Oh, uh, alright, I guess?" The man says, allowing himself to be led towards the bathroom. "You aren't going to have to take any, like, blood or anything, right?"
Thoron
Except for a man just having finished washing up, the restroom seems to be fairly empty. This one doesn't seem to bee that large compared to the size of the facility, so there are likely more of them spread around, closer to the actual attractions.
Leslie
There is indeed a seat outside... not that it's very comfortable. They probably don't want people doing the very thing that you're doing right now. Which is loitering in the entranceway, and not spending money.

"I'm here to get some chips. Apparently I need some soooo..." She drops the bag of money she had gotten from the technicians on the table. "This many chips please!"

Not that he would admit it, Thoron wasn't quite sure what to do while he waited for the others to gather in the restroom... and this other man seemed like he would leave on his own, so privacy wouldn't be an issue. After a moment's hesitation, he decides to continue waiting more or less out of sight, in a stall if there was one.
If there was no stall to hide in, he would settle for acting like he wasn't out of place, as he waited in the far corner.

Silas doesn't want the man to get too relaxed, so he takes a few standard conventions of bedside manner and tosses them out the window. They've almost made their way over to the bathroom, so it's also time to start fishing for information. He talks in a lighthearted manner for two sentences, then grows serious again. "No point in that. It's not like I carry around a lab in my pocket. Thing is, my intuition is screaming 'brain problems'. I've seen way more of those than I'd like to, and it's a messy affair. Finding the cause early tends to give the best odds."

She tried working. She really did. It's totally working when you're watching for signs of something or other even though you don't really know what it is. Just because nothing came out of it besides a scared waiter and a booze buzz doesn't mean she didn't try. Leslie gave it her all.
Now it's time to piggyback off of the work of others. If the two guys are going about it this way, they're either overly cautious or onto something.
Or they're hooking up on the job. Whatever the reasoning, there might be some action to come, and Leslie wants no part of any possible chiding for not being present to help. If/when Silas passes her, she'll flash him a smile. Coming from her it will certainly lean closer to disturbing than reassuring or encouraging.

"Alright." The woman's expression doesn't change one bit as she goes and takes your money, and gives you back a sizeable tray of small coloured disks. "Here you go. Come again."
Silas
"Huh?" The man's eyes widen. "Brain problems? You're crazy... I'm perfectly healthy, see. Uh...what kind of problems do you think I have?"
Thoron
The man inside exists the bathroom, and you're able to take up residence within a stall.
Leslie
Silas does indeed look like he's headed this way, but he's got a bit to go yet. You could go over to him. But that would require effort.

Confident that he would appear inconspicuous to an outside observer (not that there were any in the restroom, now), Thoron... found himself at a loss for what to do, again. He eventually settles for 'studying' any graffiti to be found on the stall walls, while listening for new arrivals. He didn't expect to find much, but it beat standing around, waiting.

Soleil then skips back to the getting table. "Ok! I got this!" She says retaking her seat and setting the bag on the table. "Thumbs up lets do this."

Silas gives the man a flat look. Last he checked, doctors weren't omniscient, but maybe being "technically unlicensed" had more drawbacks than expected. "I wouldn't be taking you somewhere private to talk if I knew that. What I do know is that you're in pain, and it could turn nasty easily." Silas is depending pretty heavily on Thoron's observation here. He wouldn't be pushing so hard otherwise.

Thoron
All you find are a few random words, what look they're probably names, some obscene graphics, and some half legible contact numbers. All of them which look faded, as if someone either hasn't been able to, or hasn't cared enough to do a good enough job to remove them entirely.
Soleil
"I'm sorry, miss," the person in the casino uniform says, "You left the table. You'll have to wait until the next hand, or find another table."
Silas
"Huh? Is it... that obvious? It's nothing much!" The man says, hastily, "Just a couple of twinges now and then..."

"That's fine. How long is a hand?" Soleil asked looking around and watching the people play. At the very least maybe she could figure out what she was supposed to do while watching.

Somehow very annoyed at the shoddy effort on the part of whoever was supposed to clean this washroom, Thoron had half a mind to report them for their lackluster service. Maybe that would motivate them to be productive! Or give them the punishment they were due.
He realized unhappily, though, that that should wait until after the mission, though... it would be exceptionally foolish to fail his task, only because he was bringing someone else's failure to light. His mind made up, Thoron pointedly ignores the disappointing display, instead focusing on listening for Silas (or anyone who wanders within earshot).

Silas is a little fed up with the man's equivocating and decides to force him to make a choice. "That's always how it starts. C'mon." After saying this, Silas starts walking toward the bathroom. Once he's a few steps away, he looks back to see if the man is following and walks into the bathroom either way.

"It all depends," snaps one man. "But it'll go faster if you'd stop interrupting us, kid.
Silas
The man hesitates, emotions warring on his face, but self preservation seems to win out, and he follows Silas in. "W-what do you think I have? And how can I cure it?" The man seems nervous.
Thoron
You hear (and see the feet of) two people come in. One of them says, a little nervously, "W-what do you think I have? And how can I cure it?"

Wait, he's playing doctor? Or.. being a doctor? Maybe that guy showed a symptom?? Guhhhhh, I'm not moving again until they're done, or whatever. No sense searching for another lead if this is the one we need. Or for that matter, no sense moving from this spot if once they're done we have what we came for.Settling in a little more, she pulls up a writing app on her datapad. Might as well start on tonight's post cause it's gonna be a doozy. She'll look up from her notes now and then, cautious for more signs of clues. Or people noticing her lounging. Keeping an eye out for Soleil wouldn't be bad either. If the guys get the lead the group needs, they could just leave the casino, and the longer it takes to round up Little Miss Perky the longer it'll take Leslie to move to the next lounging spot. Which is preferably her own bed. 12 on Perception for more people watching.

Thoron was pleased that Silas had apparently convinced the target of his medical prowess. At least, enough to seek a (mostly) private audience. Now there was only the matter of confirming his use of the Prescient Powder, however they might go about that. Probably not through any direct method, but he suspected Silas had a plan in effect, there.
For now, Thoron decided his task would be to not interrupt the "Doctor" in his diagnosis. Staying in this stall would be a waste, though, so he emerged, and went to do what anyone would after spending time in such a disgusting place - wash thoroughly. He resisted the urge to study the target more as he did so, at least for now.

Soleil flinches slightly when the man snaps at her. She tries to act fine though as she responds. "Hey...I'm not a kid! I am eigh---err twenty! I'm an adult!" Rolled a 13 for guile

Silas is glad to see that the bathroom appears empty, save for Thoron. He stands opposite the stall's entrance so that natural conversation will result in having the man's back to the stall. When he enters and asks Silas the same question as before, Silas deflects the question. He has an opportunity to examine the effects of an unknown drug, and he's going to make the most of it. "Before I feel comfortable giving a diagnosis, I'd like to run through the standard questions first. Can't go missing something obvious, after all." Silas then starts to go through the standard questions, also asking about basic injuries and a few designed to test cognitive function. After he gone through the basics and both he and the man have developed a rhythm, Silas pauses to think, then asks one last question. "Alright, last one. Alcohol, tobacco, medication, or other drugs?"Intuition - Detecting the inevitable lie: 6
