Tama was dumbstruck. As a Solar Court member, it was rare for the doctor to run out of things to say, and when that failed he always had a display of raw power he could produce instead. Standing high on his own grounds above the rest came naturally for him, yet in a single sentence Kaen had the other male flabbergasted in an attempt to respond,
“Y-yeah! Dinner! That…sounds,” he sighed with a little shudder before speaking mostly to himself as the Flame Hybrid was already mostly out of ear shot and the Wildling at his feet was shrieking, “…absolutely amazing.” Tama breathed in deep to calm his beating heart to look down at the competition as she responded to his previous use of Okibi’s language.
“That will remains to be determined…” the doctor muttered to himself after Chi announced her supposed level of intelligence. She seemed to believe that he was Kaen’s sister, and in some of his more devious ploys, that might actually work to his advantage. Yet he was still surprised she insisted on that line of thought, considering most Wildlings had the ability to tell gender through scent. Maybe Gary was right. Maybe his cologne was too feminine. Sighing to himself the scientist whipped around, his coat fluttering out briefly before falling heavily back against his legs as the cloth was not made from average cotton.
“Alright, follow me then…Chi, was it? We’ll be undergoing the basic physical examination followed by rudimentary blood sampling. Should only take about 10 minutes, tops, and you’ll have a free ticket to go find your handsome friend.”
He was using the larger words on purpose in the attempt to agitate Chi. Oh, it’d be easy to simply say he was going to do a body exam then take some blood to check for sicknesses, but he wanted her to know just how smarter he was. How better, he was, even if it was extremely petty. While Tama may have fixed his fear of women, his disdane of the fairer gender still slipped through in some of his actions - especially those he regarded competition.
Of course, he could just keep her at the hospital. The things the doctor needed to do to clear her health as a citizen as very small; the list for military enlistment wasn’t. Then again, Chi wasn’t entering their military, as far as he knew anyways, so those ridged tests that took nearly three hours per patient could be waived…though the temptation to run her through them was high. The amount of blood needed for all the official tests was quite a bit, and then there was the multiple physical exams, the chakra exams, the elections for alterations to enhance either, and so forth. By the end of it all Chi would be wore out, and Tama would have free reign go hunt down the Flame Hybrid without interruptions…
The doctor’s hand darted out and suddenly opened the door to a basic patient’s room. It had a cot with a thin cotton matress for examinations, a simple backless-rolling chair, and a desk wedged in the corner against one wall full of medical equipment and two notebooks at the end. After inviting Chi and her pet inside, the scientist closed the door, then stalked over to the books with his back turned towards the patient. He opened it up and began to start a new page to chart his findings on the Wildling dumped on his metaphorical lap.
“Okay, please remove all clothing, personal items, goat hair, and hold your arms up above your head as best you can. Then, tell me if anything hurts. I’ll be looking for any bad cuts and/or broken bones, heal anything minor enough that I can, and then I’ll test your blood,” Tama said in the same speech he ran through every single day while the sound of latex gloves been snapped on echoed off the walls lightly.
