lily from what i’ve tasted of desire
i hold with those who favor fire “Phoebe?” she calls into the Infirmary, perched hesitantly outside the entrance to the unfamiliar building. Lily has always had a strong constitution, a healthy, hard-working body, and surprisingly few illnesses, despite her close contact with lots of people. So this… fever, these tremors and loss of appetite were very unnerving. The pale woman (perhaps ominously so) clasps her hands together to stop the slight movements and peeks her head inside, looking for the healer. Lily’s been woefully out of the loop, focused entirely on her own needs and goings on, rather than what’s been running around the settlement. But this is too much to ignore, it’s been going on for weeks, or so it seems, and the truth is that it has the entertainer shaken. What if she caught it from…? Or she had it and she didn’t know, and then gave it to…? Swallowing hard, she takes a step through the door and calls out for |
doctor, doctor, will I die?
for Phoebe |

PHOEBE Much like Melita, Lily was greeted with a seemingly empty infirmary, until eyes likely caught sight of the big, pinky scaly lump curled up on a bed. As she called out, Pim, the dragonling who was now big enough to be imposing, in height and girth, lifted his head, eyes blinking with double lids as he looked for the source of the noise. Silvery pink eyes caught sight of the woman he did not know, sniffing the air in her direction. The dragon yawned, jaw opening wide to show an impressive set of silvery fangs, gnashing closed as he eyed her again, head turning to peer at her with one round orb. After a moment, Pim roared, the terrifying, guttural noise echoing in the space. But from somewhere in the back..."Pim, you know you don't have to roar to... Oh! Hello, Lily." the young midwife said, surprised to see Lily there when she had only expected to come out and chide her dragon. But Phoebe lacked her usual vibrancy. She looked tired, dark circles under her eyes, hands trembling slightly as though she were somehow cold beneath her layers of heavy sweaters. "What brings you in today?" I look up to the little bird The flies across the sky And I, I wish that I could be that bird And fly away from here

PHOEBE Phoebe saw the way the woman's eyes squeezed shut, frozen from the roar Pim gave. "Don't mind him, he was just letting me know you were here." Phoebe said gently, shooting Pim a little glare. Scaring patients was a big no-no. But the dragonling just yawned and tucked his head back to continue his nap, unconcerned with whatever fright he might've given the redheaded lady. But as Lily described her reason for visiting, the midwife's expression fell. Another? So quickly? "Take a seat Lily. If it is alright, I would like to take a blood sample to examine." she said, already moving to the appropriate set of drawers to get the supplies she would need to do so. In silence she listened to the woman list of symptom after symptom, already having an idea exactly where this was going. "Have your hands been shaky? Mood swings?" she asked lightly.

PHOEBE She wasn't terribly surprised to get pushback about the blood sample. It was an unusual request and one that made some squeamish or simply uncomfortable. Irritation pricked at her core though - she was the healer, not Lily. Lily had come to her to ask for help. But she pressed her lips into a thin line as she sat across from her, forcing her irritation back, if only just. "It is the only sure way to diagnose what I believe might be your ailment." she said gently, tilting her head slightly at Lily. "It won't be much. Just enough to fill this here." she said, showing her the needle that certainly could only hold a few ounces at most.Phoebe listened quietly as she mentioned breaking glasses, nodding a little. Her own work had become near impossible as she struggled to keep her hands steady. But her last question made her still slightly, and she nodded. "Yes, I believe I do. But I don't want to cause undue concern without knowing for sure. Hence the blood sample." she said gently.

PHOEBE Phoebe blinked at her in confusion. Anyone who has their blood let? She shook her head. "No, no, no, I don't want to let your blood. That won't help at all." she said with a light laugh. "See, like this." she said. Phoebe rolled up a sleeve of her sweater to show her arm. Carefully she inserted the needle into herself, drawing just enough before depositing it into the vial. Then she pressed against the prick with a piece of gauze. "Just like that. I can guarantee you won't come even close to dying." she said with a small smile. Phoebe rose then to get a new needle and gauze. As she did so, Lily snapped at her, glancing back at her with a raised brow. She was silent though as she collected her new implements, sitting down on the bed across from her again. "I think you have the blight. See here..." she said, pointing to the inky streaks in her own blood sample. "That is what it looks like. That is why I want the sample from you, to see if you have it for sure." I look up to the little bird The flies across the sky And I, I wish that I could be that bird And fly away from here

PHOEBE Phoebe smiled a little as Lily finally offered her arm. Sometimes people needed to see things done to be assured they weren’t as terrifying as they seemed, and Phoebe would never fault a person that. ”It’ll be a little prick and then it will be over quickly.” she assured. As gently as she could, Phoebe inserted the needle and drew just enough to examine, transferring the blood from the needle to the empty vial before pressing a piece of gauze to her arm.”A little over a month.” Phoebe said quietly, looking at her trembling fingers with an internal sigh. ”The blight is passed through open wounds or from consuming it. So I believe, while I was testing it and examining it for Frey, I must’ve accidentally gotten some in a wound on my hand.” Specifically when a sample of Ronin’s blighted blood exploded and broken glass contaminated with it cut her. But that wasn’t as important. The midwife carefully transferred the task of holding the gauze to Lily before turning to the sample. A frown curved her lips and she sighed. ”I’m afraid it is as I’ve expected. You’ve contracted it as well.” she said, pointing out the black streaks in Lily’s sample.

PHOEBE She tilted her head slightly at Lily's question. Was she...sure? Yes. Very much so. But before she could say so, the redhead clarified. Ohhhhhh. Her lips tugged to the side as she considered quietly. "Sex alone wouldn't transfer it, no. It isn't like other illnesses that are passed that way." she said slowly, still thinking it through. "But it is always possible that you and your partner had imperceptible skin tears or something of the sort. It happens more often than you'd think. If they were ill it is possible that you contracted it during sex given the amount of physical contact." she explained, answering her questions as fully as she could, and with more patience than she felt she had as of late.I look up to the little bird The flies across the sky And I, I wish that I could be that bird And fly away from here
