To be compared to a professor—like her friend Eva—would flabbergast Aubre. But it wasn’t a wrong impression. She just spent all her time looking in funhouse mirrors. Though there was still some pride under there, a lot of it had been as scorched as her back. But one labcoat is enough to remind Aubre of another self. The one that wasn’t too weak to withstand the fire that scorched her; the one that lived. [break][break]
The Blissey waddles over to a nearby stool. How its tiny flippers reach the keyboard isn’t clear, but it’s typing away. Its beady eyes flit briefly to the junior doctor. That same examining stare makes Aubre shiver. Though no words are spoken, the ginger can translate it well enough. The fairy-type was impatient to have the woman gone. When darkness fell, the clinic became hers. And, last she checked, this was meant to be the start of a vacation. [break][break]
Emerald eyes narrow for an instance. A gentle warning not to push her departure. Every patient deserved her full attention. Even ones that were completely healthy. Or, at least, ones that weren’t fully confirmed healthy. “They normally wouldn’t go after something this big—” She wondered if the psychic-type had been attracted by the shine of the strands. Or, more likely, trying to net a Spinarak kabob. “But if she wrecked their nest…” The doctor let the sentence trail off. Surely, her imagination wasn’t the only one that could fill in the blanks.

A brief conversation ensues between the ostrich and the taciturn Blissey. A simple nod from the egg bearer confirms Aubre’s suspicions. “Yes, she’s all right. Just excited.” For a moment, there’s a ripple of frustration. But that quickly fades. She shakes her head in self admonishment. Don’t be selfish. You want people to bring Pokemon here. Even a small sign can be a big deal. Besides, a healthy patient was something to celebrate. “It’s all right.” Her lips pull upward in a slight smile. “I’d rather you bring her in and not need me than the opposite.” [break][break]
Maybe she wouldn’t mention that some of those signs of gratitude were flirtatious. People could get awkward about that.

In the lobby, there’s a croak of celebration. A ping erupts from her computer. Brat. The doctor turns to glare at the screen. [break][break]
But the clack of claws on the tile draws her back to her patient. A smile curls normally anxious lips. She watches as the bird wraps her neck around Lisette. Its beak opens as it sifts through its trainer’s hair. Things like this made her appreciate her job. So much of what she did was the worst part of caring for Pokemon. Seeing creatures that were scared or injured fighting for their life. Being forced to watch as some asshole treated sentient creatures like a knick-knack. [break][break]
And, in fact, more than made up for buying lunch tomorrow (not that anyone else ever did). [break][break]
“We did see signs of a yeast infection on her toes, but I’ll send you home with some cream—”
