it does not bother me to say this isn't love
No, the clinic did not have quiet days, and should you ever try and plan on one, no doubt that would prove to be the busiest. Like Ronin, your reply is doused by the light beaming out of him, and you can't quite help the ungraceful way you stumble backwards, nor the fear that is bright in your eyes. You aren't a soldier, you don't need to pretend you're tough.
Instinctively you shift as you drop to your knees, your canine eyes pressed firmly shut beneath your overly large paws. Tail curled between your hind legs, you can sense the flash of light and the strange lightness it produced not just in the air, but in your body as well. You have a habit of picking at your cuticles and part of your gum was a little swollen from where you'd poked at it trying to remove a popcorn kernel, but now all of that is suddenly gone.
As the light dims from your vision leaving only stars, both figuratively and literally it seems, you blink warm honeyed eyes at the man before you who suddenly looks right as rain. Offering him a tentative tail-wag, silently asking if he's done now, you're fully unaware that at present he shares at an attuned bond with you, so you don't bother to hide the rush of relief and curiosity you feel toward him.
