I've got a patient here who keeps asking for you. Little Miss Eulah wanted me to ask if you could bring her stuffed gator to the ward for her.

( hold pls, while he confers with said kiddo... )

She'll even pay you a whole applesauce for your troubles.

[The biggest problem with being a pediatrician is it really does a lot to ruin a man’s reputation for being a little bitch.]

I can bring it by this afternoon. There was a scuffle on the playground and I still have a couple of injuries to deal with.

[No bites this time, though, thankfully.]

How is she doing?

[homeostatic]

( Can't hide a damn thing from watchful kids, forreal. )

Makes you miss childhood, doesn't it?

Eulah was very brave during her rhizotomy, and she's feeling well enough the nurses are having a time convincing her to stay in bed the next couple days.

[dispassioned]

Not at all.

[In large part because he didn't have a childhood worth missing, but also fist fights suck.]

Good to know. You think the gator toy will help with that?

[homeostatic]

Absolutely. That and hearing some news about her friends. I think Neuro ICU is a little lonely for her. Might help to see a friendly face.

( And yes he means you, Chishiya. )

[dispassioned]

[Sounds fake, there’s nothing friendly about his face.

But still, after a pause:]

I can be there in about an hour.
