The doctor frowned, and an invisible presence next to Orion shifted.  "If you would, Malie," he said, speaking in that direction.  "Cera is nearby, and she may speak with you as soon as I can tell your regeneration has kicked in properly."
"If I lose a finger, I'm going to be very annoyed."  It was the first woman's voice again, and the flesh was taken from his uncooperative fingers and -- carefully -- put where he might eat it without having to move around.  The taste burned, and it kicked like a horse, but it did what it was supposed to.  The doctor moved closer when it was gone, taking a quick look at his back, where his kagune would emerge.  Satisfied that the immediate problem was dealt with, he looked at Orion.  "Try not to go jumping up before you're sufficiently healed.  You'd think a ghoul would be able to wait a few extra minutes, given how fast you all heal, but I tend to find you're among my most problematic patients."  He nodded at the invisible woman, and the privacy curtain that divided the room in two fluttered, followed by the sound of a door opening.  Cera entered and went to Orion's side, even as the doctor -- his nametag identified him as Maxwell Thomas -- looked at the quiet lady in the corner.  "The painkillers should have kicked in by now, Illia.  Go ahead and take Evin to a different room."

She opened her eyes and nodded confirmation, then walked past the privacy curtain that divided the room in two.  Beyond her voice could be heard speaking to someone else, a man, and then there was the sound of a gurney being wheeled away.  Cera looked at Dr. Thomas, then Orion.  "So what the heck happened?" she demanded, narrowing her eyes.  "I could have sworn we said tomorrow, and yet you show up first thing in the morning, looking like you got yourself worked over real good."
