*Gives you a shirt that was light blue with a bunch of rubber ducks on it.*
[ Oakly holds back a snicker as they held the shirt in their hand, the fabric at least felt nice so that was a plus. ]
Thank you very much, unknown source.
Well sheβs hiding from the two after she got her arm casted and wants NOTHING to do with the clinic.
Okay and uh. Names are helpful for in the case I need to have a discussion with someone. I may understand this time but it doesn't mean I will next time.
Two idiots trying their best to help Voyyd after she broke her arm.
And that has something to do with me, how exactly?
[They have a few thoughts, momentarily unsure who the idiots were. They had an idea which two of course, but they can't see any logical scenario involving those two that would directly impact Voyyd's trust in them.]
You uh- may have to rebefriend Voyydβ¦
Uh, I beg your pardon? Why??

I feel bad for you
How come? Diiiid something happen? If so that is fine... We can just see how things go from here.
*Mel stumbles into the wait room, cautious with Esau in hand. Cheeky lil bugger won't leave him be.*
*He's here to see Oakly, but then he realised he doesn't have a key to the clinic anymore.*
[Luckily he doesn't wait too long until Oakly comes through for more coffee probably. They pause seeing Melpomene in the waiting room.]
Uhm. I'mma get another cupβ if you want you can come with or whatever?
*Esau is tugging at Mel's coat, alarmed.*
Yea, alright.
I didn't promise I would visit for your arm, sorry I didn't come sooner.
Oh, no. Don't worry at all it's quite alright.
[Oakly waves off the apology.]
I understand, entirely. You've had your hands full with other things on mind, parenting does that I am sure... Speaking of which, how are the both of you?
Oh it's been, swell.
*Esau sticks it's tongue out and blew a razzberry at Oakly.*
Don't, that's mean.
[Oakly has to supress a laugh behind an amused smile. Esau needs no encouragement they're pretty sure.]
I am so glad to hear,, onnne sec then...
[They scurry quick to get their cup refilled so they could get onto the more serious things.]
That, stuff, hasn't been getting better has it?
*He's referring to the rot.*
[Strange words science man. Oakly gives a half sort of shrug taking a sip on their lukewarm coffee.]
Somewhat. I've been on top of it I think. There's always the occasional slip up, I think.
That's good, great.
I suppose we could head into the clinic and I can take a look?
[They only nod before going back that way, letting Melpomene into the clinic sode and keeping an eye out for anyone else who may wander out. They had doubts anyone would... But it never hurts to keep an eye out even then.]
*Mel does the same as he follows Oakly.*
Uh, he isn't back here is he?
*Esau looks around, a tad pouty.*
[ Oakly glances back to Mel, ears turning straining to listen for footsteps, anything before turning. ]
Shouldn't be right now, no. Never hurts to keep an eye and ear out though. I cannot hear anything, however so I believe we're alright for now.
[ They then go back, ducking into an exam room to get the three of them out of the hall and out of sight in the event should Coffee come through. It's. Better Anyhow. They feel better about it at least. ]
Alright, ok.
*Mel eyes Oakly's bandaged arm assessing if they have been taking care of it at least a small bit.*
Where do you keep the bandages at least?
[ They caught Melpomene's gaze on the bandages, which were fresh for the day at least were that morning and tightly wound. Oakly vaguely gestures at cabinets. ]
The cabinets, typically. Extras are in supply.
Alright, and what have you been doing to treat it?
*He starts looking through, grabbing the bandages while he's at it.*
Keeping it clean, applying antifungal ointment, and changing bandages as necessary...
[They pause for a moment, tilting their head back in thought as if trying to remember any other detail. With days that bleed into eachother however they can't find nothing of note before they just glance over to Melpomene.]
Treating it like a wound more like... prolly a day or two where I just forgot entirely to deal with it..
Sounds about right, how did you get it out of the last person?
*He collected everything Oaklyn mentioned and has set it in a group on the counter.*
Surgery... sort of. It was like removing the dead tissue and replacing it where it was needed with healthier tissue.
[They sigh.]
Had dipped the knife in... alcohol? No wait, that doesn't sound-- initially probably butβ could it have been ethanol or... Hold on
[They pull out their journal they had written stuff in and thumbed through some pages, biting their tongue with a furrowed brow. After finding nothing but ripped pages they grumble to themselves and shut it.]
An ethanol or alcohol solution,, that was likely what I used for it.
Alright, do you think you want it cut out?
Yes and I think it'd likely be for the best.
Are you sure you trust me enough to do that?
*Saying that won't help your case.*
Between you, myself, or Coffee... I think I'd be most comfortable with you doing it.
[Oakly responds with little hesitation, looking directly at him.]
I don't have a great cut with my right hand and I am afraid I would injure myself further... Again.
*Mel seems rather surprised that someone said they trust him more than Coffee, but eventually comes to the realization he might not be well enough to do so.*
Huh, uh, alright, thanks, I suppose.
*He thinks back to the time he passed out during surgery and tries to shake off that memory.*
Of course, I mean you've done well enough in the past I believe, unsure if you remember since the whole memory issue thing, but you have assisted me with something before... I have no reason to doubt my trust in you at the end of the day, however.
Alright, do you think you can gather the rest of the stuff you used then?
I can do that, just sit tight and I'll see what I can find.
[With that, Oakly gives a half wave, exiting the room to go look for the supplies necessary for the procedure. This could take some time and they were, of course, ready for this. Just ready to get this out of the way. All will be over soon]
*Mel stumbles into the wait room, cautious with Esau in hand. Cheeky lil bugger won't leave him be.*
*He's here to see Oakly, but then he realised he doesn't have a key to the clinic anymore.*

I wouldnβt worry about it too much
Okay then I won't... but either way, I hope she is okay.
Happy father's day, your grandchild that adopted you is a fucking idiot.
What? Is Voyyd alright? Or should I expect the worst?

*Mel eyes Oakly's bandaged arm assessing if they have been taking care of it at least a small bit.*
Where do you keep the bandages at least?
[ They caught Melpomene's gaze on the bandages, which were fresh for the day at least were that morning and tightly wound. Oakly vaguely gestures at cabinets. ]
The cabinets, typically. Extras are in supply.
*Gives you a bag of those strawberry hard candies, you know the ones.*
[ Upon receiving the strawberry bon bons (assuming those are the hard candies you mean) their face lights up. ]
Oh I haven't had these in... what? Thirty years? They still make these??
[ They shove the bag into one of the many pockets on their pants and buttons the pocket quickly. ]
Thank you.
