"I know, but it's procedure, and it means, hopefully, that we're not putting any more strain on you in the long run. Let's get you some pain meds and then we can talk about a coffee date, okay?"
There's another soft laugh, Zetta looking down fondly at Conrad when he tilts back to look at her. He certainly is one of a kind, isn't he, and Zetta's little crush is getting less little every time he ends up in her ER.
"Is that right? You gonna protect me like a big old guard dog, huh?"
It's a little embarrassing how much she likes that, and the bravado that prompted it.
"Five hunge is a good pull. No wonder you're offering to buy my vending machine coffee."
She unfortunately has to set her hands on the chair to wheel him into one of the examination bays, where a doctor is luckily able to come past and prescribe pain medication fairly quickly, recommending Zetta stitch the wound and bandage it before they come back to do a final check.
Which is perfect, as it will give Zetta the perfect opportunity to apply some of Callisto's salve. She administers the pain meds, her hands lingering on him lightly, before straightening up to take control of the chair again.
"Coffee before bandages, while that kicks in. How many people did you have to fight to win that?"
