Noelle: My mouth feels funny…
Tabitha: How long has it been feeling funny for dearie?
Tabitha: Let me check your mouth dear.
Noelle: Okay *walks up to her grandmother and opens her mouth*
Tabitha: *looks into Noelle’s mouth* Yep, looks like really early stages of frounce!
(Tabitha grabs a small tin of herbal medicine, and gives the last of it to Noelle)
Tabitha: Here, this will help with the discomfort until you get to Dr. Brendan. Just chew it, don’t swallow.
Noelle: *starts chewing on the herbs*
Tabitha: *looks at Jasper* You need to get yourself checked too, just in case. We don’t want an outbreak to start, and be sure to provide Dr. Brendan of all places you ate and drank from, and every dinosaur you came in contact with from the past few weeks!
Jasper: Okay, but what about the herbs you gave Noelle?
Tabitha: It’s a tin of wild herbal medicine, but it only helps with pain management by numbing the area temporarily, and not for treatment. At least not for frounce, that is an illness that even most wild dinosaurs suggest you go for city medicine to treat.
Jasper: Oh, but we live in the city, how could she get it?
Tabitha: You can catch frounce by any number of different ways, like coming into contact with another dinosaur or a bird who has it, by consuming contaminated food and/or water, it’s not uncommon knowledge
Jasper: I know that, mom. I guess I worded that wrong… I just don’t know how she caught it since we haven’t left the city for the past three months!
Noelle: Papa said I should stay close to the inner city since those Isolationist extremists were trying to recruit city dinosaurs again!
Tabitha: Hmmm… sounds like Dr. Brendan is going to make a call to the Health Authority…
