FTEC: Friday Evening

Katara wasn't expecting to see a patient in the clinic so when she got there, she quickly made sure the rest of the exam rooms were stocked up completely before checking in on their patient in room one.

Katara was reading through the old issues of magazines behind the desk.

Exam One

Roy Mustang...once he tags in.

Once Christian had left, Roy had almost instantly fallen asleep. So once he woke up again later in the evening, he was feeling marginally better already... And ready to leave. He might have been the only one to feel that way however.

Katara peeked in the room off and on until she saw that her patient was awake.

"Hi, Sheriff," she said quietly. "How are you feeling?"

Not a blonde nurse, but Roy smiled at the girl. "About ready to go home, miss," he told her quietly, his voice hoarse. Of course, home might be the station.

Katara frowned, coming closer to look him over. "I don't know about that. You look pretty shaky still."

"And usually we tend to feel better in our own bed," he pointed out, trying to make his smile more believable. "What's your name, miss?"

Katara crossed her arms over her chest as she eyed him. "I'm Katara. And don't try to pull that line on me. I've heard it from way too many people already."

Re: Exam One

He couldn't help but be amused at her stubbornness and nodded. "Not surprised," he told her. "So what is your opinion then, Katara?"

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Let me examine you quickly and I'll see, okay?" she said.

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He let out a breath and nodded, resigned to getting prodded. "Are you a student?" he asked.

"Uh huh, I'm a junior," she said, reaching to pull a stream of water out of her waterskin. "But don't worry. Dr. Troy hired me. I'm not really really bad or anything."

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"That wasn't what I meant," he assured her, curiously looking at what she was doing with the water. "How are you doing that?"

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Oh this?" Katara said, looking up. "It's waterbending. I feel the chi of the water and can manipulate it."

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Without changing any of its make up?" Roy asked.

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara stared at him. "Well if I did that, it wouldn't be water, now would it. Then I couldn't bend it."

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow. "I was just wondering, when you say manipulate, that's what I tend to think of."

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"No, I just make it do what I ask it to," she said. "Which would be examine you."

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy nodded. "I'll cooperate," he promised, though he wasn't sure how the whole water thing worked.

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara smiled sweetly.

"Good!"

She took a deep breath to center herself and put her hand over his injuries, the water turning bright white as she felt for where his chi was knotted up. Which seemed to be all over from what she could tell. Katara bit her lip at the multitude of injuries and looked back up at him. "That doesn't look good at all," she said softly. "I can heal some of this, but I think you should still stay the night."

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Not the answer Roy wanted to hear and he made a face, only briefly wondering when he stopped questioning when people said they could do something out of the ordinary. "Any way I can make you change your mind?"

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara eyed him. "Let me heal you, and I'll reconsider. But you would have to get someone to come get you and promise that they'll make you go to bed right away."

Re: Exam One

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a fair trade," he said easily, knowing when not to argue. Plus, the girl had the same look Hawkeye got when she wasn't going to change her mind.

Re: Exam One

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara nodded, pleased with his wisdom in agreeing with her and took another breath to start trying to straighten the flow of his chi.

She paused, feeling the stab wound in his thigh heal then up to the scratches on his face. She frowned, not quite able to heal his fingers or the odd twisted wound in his arm, but she started straightening out the chi so that it would heal more quickly than without.

Roy stayed perfectly still, watching the girl work and feeling the wounds ease up a little. "That's an amazing skill you have there," he said quietly.
