The Two Sides

The receptionist calls a nurse to come collect them.

Tomithy places Ptelea down and moves Ambrose to be beside her. "This is where I leave you two, okay? Don't be causing any trouble now. I want to hear only the best!" He takes his jacket off Ptelea and pats her head.

Ambrose frowns worriedly. "Where do we go after this?" He asks warily. At least this guard seemed nice enough but he couldn't speak for the others.

Ptelea frowns worriedly and inches a bit away,from her brother. "You're leaving? ??" She asks, lip trembling.

The Two Sides

The medical centre has automatic sliding doors at its entrance. They slide open as Tomithy approaches, and he enters it. The entrance is not unlike a small hospital. There's a receptionist and everything. Tomithy walks up to the counter and gestures towards Ptelea. "Girl needs treatment. Boss's orders." He looks over at Ambrose. "You need anything checked?"

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea pushes the coat off her head and looks around curiously. She smiles at the receptionist. "My name is Ptelea!"

Ambrose shrugs. "Maybe just to make sure my burns dont get infected."

Tomithy shrugs, "Okay, tough guy." He walks out into the rain which is surprisingly heavy. "This rolled in quickly, huh?" He heads over to a large white building, lights glimmering in the grey of the downpour. "That's the medical centre over there. You staying dry, kiddo?"

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea nods then realizes he can't see her. "Yep! I'm super dry!" She says cheerfully.

Ambrose grimaces at the heavy rain but doesn't complain. At least it wasn't ice cold like the forest.

Timothy sighs, "Can you believe this? It's raining! Mate, I thought we lived in the middle of a desert for a reason. Gimme just a moment..." He puts Ptelea down for a second to take off his jacket. He then throws it over her and picks her back up again. "They're you go! Snug as a bug in a rug." He glances at Ambrose in a half-apologetic manner. "Sorry, mate. Not going to give up my shirt for you."

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea smiles and burrows into the jacket a bit, keeping her impaled hand out of it, but slightly covered from the rain.

Ambrose snorts. "I can handle rain just fine thank you."

The Two Sides

"Thanks, kiddo." Tomithy smiles happily and stops as they get to the door. "Aww... This is terrible!" He sighs in response to what he sees through the small window of the door.

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea whimpers slightly. "What's terrible?" She asks quietly, beginning to fidget slightly.

Ambrose frowns and curses the handcuffs on his wrists, knowing it would be much harder to protect his sister should anything bad be beyond the door.

Tomithy senses that perhaps Ambrose was not a topic Ptelea wanted to talk about. The mentioning of his brother for her brought a smile to his face and a fog of pleasant memories. "Yeah, my brother is great. He's my little brother but he's still so much brighter than me, you know? But I always tell him that even if he can talk his way out of a situation, I'm just one phonecall away should he need me to beat someone up!" He walks along another hallway. A door to the outside is visible at the end. "You just keep it up, okay kiddo? I believe in you."

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea giggles and nods. "You sound like a good big brother!" She then looks at the door curiously and smiles at him. "Thank you!"

Ambrose glances around, half-expecting to be ambushed at any moment.

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Tomithy couldn't help but be curious at Ptelea's words. Besides, who knew what he may discover to help The Boss? "Hm? Who's Dem? A friend of yours?" He laughs at her cute questions comments. "Indeed we do! My brother is a nurse. Don't worry, I promise none of the nurses or doctors will punch you." The elevator opens and he walks out. "People are mean, little one. Just make sure you're never mean, hm? That means there's one less mean person in the world."

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea nods. "He was Rosey's best friend before Rosey left home..." Her smile fades slightly before smiling as he laughs. "That's good! I hope your brother is nice!" She looks out the elevator curiously, then nods. "I'm working real hard to be nice...mean people are really mean." she sets her head back on his shoulder, feeling better.

Ambrose, feeling self-conscious now, follows them out of the elvator.

The Two Sides

Tomithy opens his mouth to correct her stance on The Boss, he stops himself just in time. There was no point trying to explain it to a member not of the family, especially a child as young as her. Especially somebody who was already a shifter. He decided it was wiser to answer her question. "Oh, much smarter than me! But if you mean to ask if they're nice, of course they are! Being a doctor is just as much about your personality as it being intelligent, you know." He hesitates. "But that doesn't mean that fixing you up won't hurt, you know? Things have got to hurt before they heal."

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea nods. "I knew nice doctors at the hospital where Dem is! He hurt his arm, and his doctors are super nice! There are very nice nurses too. Do you have nurses here?" She asks, smiling at him. "Oh yes! My eye hurt a lot after that mean boy punched me.." She frowns, shaking her head. "People are mean."

Ambrose listens, groaning softly as she talks about Dem. Wish she would learn when not to speak about certain things... He thinks, shaking his head.

"You bet!" Tomity says cheerfully, walking to the elevator and scanning his pass. "Everyone there's a part of the family. They know how to treat all manner of injuries. It's just as equipped as a hospital, because nobody really wants to leave the facility without a reason. There's just too much for us all to do." He steps aside so that Ambrose may enter the elevator.

@Hawksnest565

Ambrose walks into the elevator and stands in the corner. He glances around warily. After all the tricks that had already been pulled on him, he wasn't quick to trust even the simplest of things anymore. He watches his sister sadly. He just wanted to hug and hold her, but that man had caused her to pretty much hate him...

Ptelea nods, smiling slightly at his reassurances. "You seem nice. I wish that man was nice. but he was so mean." She shakes her head sadly. "Are the doctors like you?"

Tomithy scoops Ptelea into his arms, careful to avoid the scalpel which still remained stuck in the middle of her hand, and hoists her up. He opens the door the door slowly and steps out, finally allowing Ptelea to escape the Dark Room. She leaves behind only drops of blood. The hallway they enter is bland. Whilst the area was familiar to him, Tomithy was certain the children would think it quite terrifying. "Our medical centre is in a much nicer place than this." He tells them with a note of encouragement in his voice.

@Hawksnest565

Ptelea sets her head on Tomithy's shoulder, yawning slightly. She looks at the walls and shivers slightly. "That room was mean." She says quietly, glancing back at it. She then smiles. "Are there nice doctors?" she asks curiously.

Ambrose follows silently, just listening to them as he walks. He had a bad feeling about this, but Ptelea definitely need to be checked.
