[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" papa....I'ma mis-steak "

[dr-octayve]

...love, no. No you aren't

*outwardly, the doctor is the pinnacle of calm, but inside their blood is boiling*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" i'ma 'bomination...that's what he said, and then he yanked and...ouchies " the baby curled up against them, frowning.

[dr-octayve]

*the baby-lotyl is carefully scooped up and held*

Well, he doesn't know diddley squat then. Because I and anyone else sees a wonderful bundle of joy.

*the baby is booped* That is you, love

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Beck teared up, hiding their face in Octayves shoulder...it was nice, being held.

[dr-octayve]

*they hold Beck closely, gently rocking them*

You're alright, love. Everything's alright

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nodded, sniffling softly "....c...can i stay like this...for a little more? "

[dr-octayve]

*their heart tugs at that. they give them a soft kiss to the forehead*

Of course, sweetheart. For as long as you want

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

If they'd gone for as long as they wanted then the two would be stuck in that room forever. They took a few minutes and then hesitantly pulled away.

[dr-octayve]

*seeing this, they carefully let the baby down*

Are you alright, sweetheart?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nod " don't wanna take too long "

[dr-octayve]

Oh, love...I don't have to leave for a while. It is alright if you don't want to be held, but I really do not mind if you do.

*they give the baby gentle scritches*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They melt into the scritches again, rolling onto their back as they nuzzled against them.

[dr-octayve]

*they smile softly, giving them scritches under the chin*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Their little tongue stuck out as they smiled blissfully, a few giggles slipping out.

[dr-octayve]

*they chuckled*

Aw, did I find a good spot then?

*they ask, fluttering their other hand against their neck*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nodded, more giggles slipping our as they fluttered against their neck.

[dr-octayve]

Ahh, I see

*they continue scritching lightly, giving the baby axolotyl a belly rub*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

That seemed to make their tail wag even more, their little feet kicking gently as they enjoyed the rubs

[dr-octayve]

*they all but coo at this, continuing on giving them all the pets*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

It didn't take long to melt them into a puddle of giggles.

[dr-octayve]

*they laugh along before giving the baby a kiss to the forehead and a break*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They caught their breath, staring up at the scientist with a big smile, curling up in their lap.

[dr-octayve]

*they smile back. Giving the baby head pets, they are sure to be gentle as they begin humming softly*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They yawned softly " thank -yaaaaaawn- you "

[dr-octayve]

Nothing to thank me for, sweetheart

*they pull up a hospital blanket, wraping comfortably around Beck*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They wiggled their way back onto the bed, yawning once more before there was another ' pop! ' and the young adult lay there once more, eyes closed as they started to doze.

[dr-octayve]

*they smiled softly at them, dimming the lights as they hummed quietly*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

For the first time in forever, they fell asleep peacefully and stayed they way for more than an hour or two.

[dr-octayve]

*Octayve stays for while, thinking about the little that Beck told them.. the kid does not have a safe homelife, a very stressful job that has brought them to this point.. they are concerned about them for.. so many reasons*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

There were a few things to be clarified, but they could wait till Beck woke up.

[dr-octayve]

*they sit quietly as Beck sleeps, wondering what to offer the Center in exchange for another room.. maybe it will see it as a good creative challenge, rather than adding more vents around*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Having someplace where they could de-stress and be safe....and also not worry about outrageously high rent, would be great to be honest

[dr-octayve]

*while the esc is, arguably not the safest place and not without it's chaos, but they would definately have them watching out for them there to make sure they're ok*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Compared to the jobs and places they'd been before? They might actually catch a break at the esc...

[dr-octayve]

*they would definately be making sure the kid gets a proper rest there*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They'd probably fit right in with all the other crazy characters to be honest.

[dr-octayve]

*just from what Octayve has seen of them, Absolutely!*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

A nurse came in to check on them, not disturbing their slumber " I think this is the first time they've willingly taken a nap " she hummed.

[dr-octayve]

*they nod a greeting to her*

Ah, I see.. How long have they been in hospital?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" this visit? A few days. They've been in and out ever since they were twelve though, new parents, old health problems. "

[dr-octayve]

Oh.. I see. Poor kid.

..are their parents good to them?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" yeah, they're a completely different kid from when I first met em when they were little. A lot happier, bit of a smart alec, one of their moms actually volunteers at the nicu here. From what I've heard from her though is that a new addition to their group is more like a rotten oyster Ina seafood buffet and that the kids been avoiding home like the plague cause of it.....didn't hear that from me tho '

[dr-octayve]

*they smile, until they hear the part about the partner*

Hm, pardon my inquiry but do you know if any of their parent's know this is the reason?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" aside from the one who volunteers? Not sure "

[dr-octayve]

*then there are at least two possibilities as to why the "creep" of a partner Beck's avoiding is still there, and Octayve doesn't like either of them*

I understand..

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" it's good to see Beck as other people looking out for em too "

[dr-octayve]

*they smile a little at the nurse*

That they do, Ms... Apologies, but may I ask your name?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" Ms Yapps, dear. May I ask your name? "

[dr-octayve]

*they hold out a gloved hand to shake*

Dr. Octayve, ma'am. A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Yapps

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" pleasures all mine " she shook their hand and finished up with Beck, heading back out on her rounds

[dr-octayve]

*they waved farewell to the nurse before taking out a business card of their own and placing it on the table next to Beck, in case the weren't here when the young adult woke up*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They were out for quite some time, eventually waking to find the card and an empty room. They weren't worried though, sticking it in their bag with a smile.

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

[The security guard is currently asleep, laid out in a hospital bed and hooked up to various machinery]

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

*Octayve stays for while, thinking about the little that Beck told them.. the kid does not have a safe homelife, a very stressful job that has brought them to this point.. they are concerned about them for.. so many reasons*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

There were a few things to be clarified, but they could wait till Beck woke up.

[dr-octayve]

*they sit quietly as Beck sleeps, wondering what to offer the Center in exchange for another room.. maybe it will see it as a good creative challenge, rather than adding more vents around*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Having someplace where they could de-stress and be safe....and also not worry about outrageously high rent, would be great to be honest

[dr-octayve]

*while the esc is, arguably not the safest place and not without it's chaos, but they would definately have them watching out for them there to make sure they're ok*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Compared to the jobs and places they'd been before? They might actually catch a break at the esc...

[dr-octayve]

*they would definately be making sure the kid gets a proper rest there*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They'd probably fit right in with all the other crazy characters to be honest.

[dr-octayve]

*just from what Octayve has seen of them, Absolutely!*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

A nurse came in to check on them, not disturbing their slumber " I think this is the first time they've willingly taken a nap " she hummed.

[dr-octayve]

*they nod a greeting to her*

Ah, I see.. How long have they been in hospital?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" this visit? A few days. They've been in and out ever since they were twelve though, new parents, old health problems. "

[dr-octayve]

Oh.. I see. Poor kid.

..are their parents good to them?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" yeah, they're a completely different kid from when I first met em when they were little. A lot happier, bit of a smart alec, one of their moms actually volunteers at the nicu here. From what I've heard from her though is that a new addition to their group is more like a rotten oyster Ina seafood buffet and that the kids been avoiding home like the plague cause of it.....didn't hear that from me tho '

[dr-octayve]

*they smile, until they hear the part about the partner*

Hm, pardon my inquiry but do you know if any of their parent's know this is the reason?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" aside from the one who volunteers? Not sure "

[dr-octayve]

*then there are at least two possibilities as to why the "creep" of a partner Beck's avoiding is still there, and Octayve doesn't like either of them*

I understand..

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" it's good to see Beck as other people looking out for em too "

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

[The security guard is currently asleep, laid out in a hospital bed and hooked up to various machinery]

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" papa....I'ma mis-steak "

[dr-octayve]

...love, no. No you aren't

*outwardly, the doctor is the pinnacle of calm, but inside their blood is boiling*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" i'ma 'bomination...that's what he said, and then he yanked and...ouchies " the baby curled up against them, frowning.

[dr-octayve]

*the baby-lotyl is carefully scooped up and held*

Well, he doesn't know diddley squat then. Because I and anyone else sees a wonderful bundle of joy.

*the baby is booped* That is you, love

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Beck teared up, hiding their face in Octayves shoulder...it was nice, being held.

[dr-octayve]

*they hold Beck closely, gently rocking them*

You're alright, love. Everything's alright

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nodded, sniffling softly "....c...can i stay like this...for a little more? "

[dr-octayve]

*their heart tugs at that. they give them a soft kiss to the forehead*

Of course, sweetheart. For as long as you want

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

If they'd gone for as long as they wanted then the two would be stuck in that room forever. They took a few minutes and then hesitantly pulled away.

[dr-octayve]

*seeing this, they carefully let the baby down*

Are you alright, sweetheart?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nod " don't wanna take too long "

[dr-octayve]

Oh, love...I don't have to leave for a while. It is alright if you don't want to be held, but I really do not mind if you do.

*they give the baby gentle scritches*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They melt into the scritches again, rolling onto their back as they nuzzled against them.

[dr-octayve]

*they smile softly, giving them scritches under the chin*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Their little tongue stuck out as they smiled blissfully, a few giggles slipping out.

[dr-octayve]

*they chuckled*

Aw, did I find a good spot then?

*they ask, fluttering their other hand against their neck*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nodded, more giggles slipping our as they fluttered against their neck.

[dr-octayve]

Ahh, I see

*they continue scritching lightly, giving the baby axolotyl a belly rub*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

That seemed to make their tail wag even more, their little feet kicking gently as they enjoyed the rubs

[dr-octayve]

*they all but coo at this, continuing on giving them all the pets*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

It didn't take long to melt them into a puddle of giggles.

[dr-octayve]

*they laugh along before giving the baby a kiss to the forehead and a break*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They caught their breath, staring up at the scientist with a big smile, curling up in their lap.

[dr-octayve]

*they smile back. Giving the baby head pets, they are sure to be gentle as they begin humming softly*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They yawned softly " thank -yaaaaaawn- you "

[dr-octayve]

Nothing to thank me for, sweetheart

*they pull up a hospital blanket, wraping comfortably around Beck*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They wiggled their way back onto the bed, yawning once more before there was another ' pop! ' and the young adult lay there once more, eyes closed as they started to doze.

[dr-octayve]

*they smiled softly at them, dimming the lights as they hummed quietly*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

For the first time in forever, they fell asleep peacefully and stayed they way for more than an hour or two.

Having someplace where they could de-stress and be safe....and also not worry about outrageously high rent, would be great to be honest

[dr-octayve]

*while the esc is, arguably not the safest place and not without it's chaos, but they would definately have them watching out for them there to make sure they're ok*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Compared to the jobs and places they'd been before? They might actually catch a break at the esc...

[dr-octayve]

*they would definately be making sure the kid gets a proper rest there*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They'd probably fit right in with all the other crazy characters to be honest.

[dr-octayve]

*just from what Octayve has seen of them, Absolutely!*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

A nurse came in to check on them, not disturbing their slumber " I think this is the first time they've willingly taken a nap " she hummed.

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

[The security guard is currently asleep, laid out in a hospital bed and hooked up to various machinery]

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" papa....I'ma mis-steak "

[dr-octayve]

...love, no. No you aren't

*outwardly, the doctor is the pinnacle of calm, but inside their blood is boiling*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

" i'ma 'bomination...that's what he said, and then he yanked and...ouchies " the baby curled up against them, frowning.

[dr-octayve]

*the baby-lotyl is carefully scooped up and held*

Well, he doesn't know diddley squat then. Because I and anyone else sees a wonderful bundle of joy.

*the baby is booped* That is you, love

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Beck teared up, hiding their face in Octayves shoulder...it was nice, being held.

[dr-octayve]

*they hold Beck closely, gently rocking them*

You're alright, love. Everything's alright

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nodded, sniffling softly "....c...can i stay like this...for a little more? "

[dr-octayve]

*their heart tugs at that. they give them a soft kiss to the forehead*

Of course, sweetheart. For as long as you want

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

If they'd gone for as long as they wanted then the two would be stuck in that room forever. They took a few minutes and then hesitantly pulled away.

[dr-octayve]

*seeing this, they carefully let the baby down*

Are you alright, sweetheart?

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nod " don't wanna take too long "

[dr-octayve]

Oh, love...I don't have to leave for a while. It is alright if you don't want to be held, but I really do not mind if you do.

*they give the baby gentle scritches*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They melt into the scritches again, rolling onto their back as they nuzzled against them.

[dr-octayve]

*they smile softly, giving them scritches under the chin*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

Their little tongue stuck out as they smiled blissfully, a few giggles slipping out.

[dr-octayve]

*they chuckled*

Aw, did I find a good spot then?

*they ask, fluttering their other hand against their neck*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They nodded, more giggles slipping our as they fluttered against their neck.

[dr-octayve]

Ahh, I see

*they continue scritching lightly, giving the baby axolotyl a belly rub*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

That seemed to make their tail wag even more, their little feet kicking gently as they enjoyed the rubs

[dr-octayve]

*they all but coo at this, continuing on giving them all the pets*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

It didn't take long to melt them into a puddle of giggles.

[dr-octayve]

*they laugh along before giving the baby a kiss to the forehead and a break*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They caught their breath, staring up at the scientist with a big smile, curling up in their lap.

[dr-octayve]

*they smile back. Giving the baby head pets, they are sure to be gentle as they begin humming softly*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They yawned softly " thank -yaaaaaawn- you "

[dr-octayve]

Nothing to thank me for, sweetheart

*they pull up a hospital blanket, wraping comfortably around Beck*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

They wiggled their way back onto the bed, yawning once more before there was another ' pop! ' and the young adult lay there once more, eyes closed as they started to doze.

[dr-octayve]

*they smiled softly at them, dimming the lights as they hummed quietly*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

For the first time in forever, they fell asleep peacefully and stayed they way for more than an hour or two.

[dr-octayve]

*Octayve stays for while, thinking about the little that Beck told them.. the kid does not have a safe homelife, a very stressful job that has brought them to this point.. they are concerned about them for.. so many reasons*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]

There were a few things to be clarified, but they could wait till Beck woke up.

[dr-octayve]

*they sit quietly as Beck sleeps, wondering what to offer the Center in exchange for another room.. maybe it will see it as a good creative challenge, rather than adding more vents around*

[raspberry-flavored-wine]
