Fandom Clinic | Thursday

[snowdroplace]

Elli hadn't really planned on stopping by the clinic today, since her shift was tomorrow and she had some reading she wanted to get done before she showed up to beset the nurses with all the questions.

But then there had been pigeons. In class. And Wayne had fared badly and she just couldn't let that go untreated.

So the clinic it was.

Luckily, Wayne had the great good sense to not argue with her about it—having admitted that, even if she hadn't been in class to insist, that he'd have headed for the clinic.

"We'll use exam room one," she said, as they entered the clinic. "It should be free."

The clinic wasn't usually too busy, which Elli approved of as a healthy population was a good thing.

[For the modded-with-permission-Wayne first, but open after!]

Ohhh, Wayne could hold still. Wayne could hold as still as a Mennonite barn right after the raising, even during a windstorm.

Except for the tiniest intake of breath, followed by a considerable fluttering of his eyelashes, because he could take a straight pinch right to the nose from a up-country degen twice his own size and still be able to write home about it, but oh fuck, did that sting.

Like a tiny million little bees all up there at once.

So many bees.

She'd be sorry, Wayne, but she was busy cleaning blood out of your ears with careful precision.

"I wonder what we'll have next week," she offered. "Maybe I should bring a first aid kit?"

To the Danger Shop. More inexplicable injuries?

"Couldn't hurt."

Unlike this. But the conversation was going to be a nice distraction, so Elli was getting oints for that.

"I don't see why," said Wayne, who could now latch onto something that almost hurt more than the anticeptic, "we can't just go back to puppies. We shoulda just stuck with puppies."

Wayne just really liked puppies. Cats were okay, but pigeons was going a step too far.

"Like the first week? The puppies were adorable, weren't they?" Elli asked even as she reached for cotton balls and gauze to wrap his, now cleaned, injury up.

Then she'd be moving onto the other ear so they were going to be here a while.

"What's your favourite kind of dog?"

There didn't even seem to be that many pigeons! The amount of wounds that Wayne had sustained were astounding in that respect.

But now he was talking about puppers, so he was almost forgetting there were any injuries at all.

Until Elli got to the disinfecting again, at any rate.

"Ohhh, s'hard to pick jus' one," he said. "But we breed German shepherds back on the farm, and I got a soft spot fer bulls."
