Tobias lived in the Medical Center currently, leaving what available space was to those that needed it. though it wasnt always like that, he did at once share a place with someone but.. no more. his room was in the back, off the supply room, nothing but a single bed, and his books that piled up in multiple stacks. up before most, to make his rounds, he'd been able to sleep in a bit, since he didnt have any patients, that was til Tank came in, screaming his head off about Emerald. Tobias woke quickly, bolting out of bed, pulling on his pants, shoes and grey v button shirt. his beard, a new addition was getting on the thick side and his hair was wild and everything, he bolted out of his room.. ten minutes he had Tank calmed and exclaimed Emerald was fine, and he would go get something just in case she had any head pains..and sweet oblivion would have been nice, and he'd never would have known she'd showed up if not for his power, what made him a blessed one.. he heard whispered words, hushed voices and after a moment, something internal in him changed, adapted so that the sound came as clear as a bell,as if he was right there, in the room, right in the conversation. and he heard who Tank was apologizing to. the sound of her voice, and Emerald's happiness at seeing her aunt struck a cord in his heart that he'd thought he'd buried, but apparently not.. though out of respect he waited, taking the time for Ravenia to do what she needed, and to get use to the now heightened sounds that were assaulting him.. before he'd have to suffer with it til his body changed back, but if there was one thing in five years he had learned, was that he could "force" his body to revert back faster, which is what he did, willing himself to change back to normal and soon the assaulting sounds all retreated, then faded and he was able to relax.

[b][i][color=GoldenRod]"give her this in a bit of water if she feels any pain, its mild in strength and mixed for a child her age. there was no bleeding, and just a little knot so after checking her out, i dont believe she has a concussion"[/color][/i][/b] holding out the mixture of white powder for flora [b][i][color=GoldenRod]"but just to be safe, dont let her go to sleep though with her energy you'd have to be lucky for that im sure but no naps today, by tonight if no problems, then everything is okay"[/color][/i][/b] checking on Emeralds head. [b][i][color=GoldenRod]"and you monkey"[/color][/i][/b] he teased, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a piece of candy. nothing special,a bit of vanilla mixed with some boiling sugar water. it was more like a vanilla taffy then candy, but the kids loved it so he made it when he could. holding the piece out for Emerald. [b][i][color=GoldenRod]"no more wire climbing huh"[/color][/i][/b] though he wore a smile, always wore a smile and was always kind enough, the pain in his eyes was there, and anyone that had experienced the heartache of being pushed away, could see it.. and see that he'd know Ravenia had been there, and she'd rather leave then see him, that probably hurt the most then anything that had been done to him. [b][i][color=GoldenRod]"if you want Flora i can make a tranq for Tank, you know if he steps out of line you can knock him out"[/color][/i][/b] he teased, waiting for Tank to come back in
