[center][h3][color=fbec5d]Kendall - A Doctor's Visit[/color][/h3]feat. Kendall's father[/center] "Well, Mr. Banks, things have definitely improved with your little girl. She's a lot better than the last few times I've seen her, that's for sure." "Is there anything new that I should understand?" Mr. Banks asks with his hat in his lap. He had taken time out of his work day to come take Kendall to the doctor, as per the usual checkups that they had to schedule because of Kendall. "Off the top of my head, there are three. The first one is that she's a pretty tough kid. I actually hadn't noted this before, but it seems she heals at an increased rate." The doctor stroked his beard as he paced the room back and forth while explaining. "I had a bit of the tar from her vomit sent to the labs at the Protectorate for analysis. I think the tar she's made of has some kind of chemical in it that allows for hastened regeneration." The doctor took a quick pause before continuing on his tangent. "Two. Her vomit is no longer containing any bile in it. For the most part, it is just the tar that makes up her body. It seems she has a reserve of it built up within her that she draws from whenever she vomits. Interesting, but it's still just a theory that I'm working on understanding-" The doctor was interrupted by Mr. Banks. "Y-you mean that she's finally free from the vomit as well?" The doctor shook his head as an answer to Mr. Banks. "I'm afraid not, Mr. Banks. Her vomit is still appearing, but - has she taken her anti-nausea medicine today, perchance?" "No sir." "As she told me alone. She's not vomiting as much as before, and even when off the anti-nausea, she's vomiting much rarer now. It's definitely an improvement on maintaining her body weight at a... relatively normal level," The doctor turned to Mr. Banks before continuing. "She's a tad bit underweight. Likely due to the anti-nausea medicine causing her appetite to decrease." Mr. Banks sighed with relief. "So... she's good then? Nothing too out of the ordinary?" The doctor stopped pacing before he looked at Mr. Banks. "That's number three. She's definitely improving, yes, but there are still concerns that I have on her well being. Now, she expressed interest in joining the Protectorate as a Ward, and I'll be happy to sign off on the paperwork for y-" Another interruption from Mr. Banks popped into the room. "No sir. We're just... we're not ready to say goodbye to our daughter just yet. At least, I think the wife wouldn't be okay with me making the decision alone." The doctor frowned before returning to a normal expression. "I guess parents know best. Well, the offer is always on the table if you are interested. I'm going to go back into the room and meet with her before I send her back to you to take home." The doctor re-entered the examination room as Kendall's face lit up with glee. [color=fbec5d]"So? Did he say yes?"[/color] Kendall bounced on the examination bench as she eagerly awaited for the doctor to answer her question. "He said no, sadly. Though, he looked pretty bummed about that answer, so there's still hope for you yet!" The doctor answered the tarry 14 year old with a smile on his face. "I think he'd be happy to let you join, but he wants your mother here to give the final word." Kendall's face melted into a small frown. [color=fbec5d]"Awww. Mom's always a party pooper, she'll never go for it."[/color] Kendall's hair was ruffled by the doctor as he spoke to her again. "Hey, cheer up champ. There's still some hope for you." Standing up, the doctor began writing a few things down as Kendall went behind the screen in the room to change from the hospital gown into her normal clothes. Kendall's voice talked in a hushed tone as she spoke to the doctor. [color=fbec5d]"Does he know about Mastar?"[/color] The doctor raises his head up at the question, but remained staring forward as to respect Kendall's privacy. "Mastar? Kendall, you aren't Mastar!" the doctor said sarcastically. Kendall walked out from behind the screen afterwards as she finished putting her shirt back on. [color=fbec5d]"Thank you for keeping that between us. I'd be grounded for [i]years[/i] if they found that out."[/color] The doctor winked at her before he spoke once again. "Doctor-Patient Confidentiality. Though, I should really tell them since you're under 18..." [color=fbec5d]"Nooo pleeeasseee!"[/color] Kendall grabbed the doctor's arm as she begged. [color=fbec5d]"I really like being a herooooo!"[/color] "Well... alright. I'll keep it under lock for a little longer. If you join the Wards, though, we need to act like I never knew. Got it?" [color=fbec5d]"Got it! Thank you doc!"[/color]
