❝ that is the worst idea i think i’ve ever heard. ❞

Post-shift caffeination tended to happen upon Sylvie more often than her seeking out the experience, the adrenaline of the day still racing through her veins as she paced back and forth along the gravelled park path, Bennett her evening audience. It was moments like this when her mouth ran faster than her brain, sparking ideas that daytime Sylvie could never dream of.

"I'm going to become one of those people with an after-work hobby. Maybe I'll start playing sports or-or boxing." Pause. "Or... beekeeping?" No. "No, boxing. Definitely."

"That is the worst idea I think I've ever heard."

She stopped, laughing as she turned to face the other. "No, its a great idea," she countered, hands curling into fists as she punched the air in front of him. "What, are you scared you'll be the punching bag?"

⚖️ : does your muse trust their own judgement? what kind of situations would cause them to freeze up with indecision?

headcanons, volume one.

I think she does trust her own judgement, but in terms of career at the hospital, she is acutely aware that she is still learning. Yes, she graduated med school, yes she did her first year as a resident, but I think she finds herself approached by a case she's never seen before at least once a night. I think bad cases with kids make her pause; she desperately wants every child who walks into the ED to walk out, so she would certainly look for second opinions and higher residents or attendings to make big calls on cases involving kids. Honestly, it's very on the nose, but if a kid came in with an injured dad--like potentially mortally wounded--that would probably trigger something not great for her.

In terms of regular life stuff, I think she feels pretty confident in her mind and her ability to make decisions. What would make her freeze is something happening to her mom. Ally's good in a crisis, but her mom is her biggest soft spot.

Injury

"I don't need your help, get off me," he snapped out, Robby's face caught between pain and frustration. He was well aware that he was hurt, thank you very much; he was well aware that trying to get up was the worse thing he could do before they checked to see if anything was torn, broken, or worse, but... Robby, well. Maybe not the best at following his own advice. He hissed sharply as he tried to brace on his arm and it buckled, breathing out of his nose with his eyes clenched shut. Gritting his teeth, he pushed up again, and this time managed it, even wobbly as he was.

The world felt off-kilter from this angle, a bad dream filled with starched bedsheets and fluorescent lighting as she tried to anchor herself within the situation. It wasn't every day that Sylvie got to experience the other side of her place of work, her day off proving a lot more eventful than she'd originally planned.

"God, this is so weird," she muttered as she watched Bennett prepare the tools for her stitching, a better sight than the 10cm gash that screamed from her thigh. "All right, Bennett -- Show me how you get those patient satisfaction scores."

Jack had sent her up to grab someone from the pediatric floor, and realistically Igraine knew it was a busy time of the year , but it was getting ridiculous that they had put in a call twice and no one had come to see the newborn down in the ED. Igraine jabbed the button in the elevator , fire already hot under her skin when she left the ED , the baby needed to be seen .

She strode through the hallway, bursting through the double-wide doors after she had swiped her badge, nearly taking out the person on the other side.

She held her coffee away from him , keeping it from spilling when she eyed the badge on his chest , bingo . ❝ You , ❞ she perked up , ❝ I need you . Uh , Igraine Hale , and my senior attending is dying to get his hands one of you . We need a consult—which we've called up three times . ❞

❝ I'm sure we can tell your chief you're needed and we have to pull you away . She's a newborn and we can't do anything without one of you signing off on it so we can get her upstairs or tackle the big problems . ❞

"Do you always sit in complete silence?"

For someone sat halfway across the room from her, Sam Bennett sure was making himself known, his energy practically radiating from his frame as Sylvie used her rare break to finish up a couple of charting issues from earlier. It was easy enough to ignore when people darted through the room to grab snacks and water, but being spoken to directly did warrant some attention.

Do you always sit in complete silence? She actually glanced behind her to make sure there wasn't some silent weirdo standing between her chair and the wall, frowning slightly when it became apparent he was talking to her.

"No?" Pen poised halfway in the air, Sylvie couldn't resist a quip back. "What, would you rather I start thinking out loud?"

7PM, July 3rd: Sylvie's third shift at the Pitt was coming to a close, yet she found herself armed with a tiny sleeping bundle in a blanket, rocking the baby Jane Doe into a blissful sleep as those that passed cooed at the sweet image. How somebody could abandon something so tiny, Sylvie would never understand, a swell of affection in her chest whenever she glanced down as her new favourite patient.

All tests had come back clear and the baby had practically devoured her formula, so the next step was to take her up to pediatrics for monitoring. "Hand her over to Bennett and you can head on home," she'd been told, and so she found herself moving at a snail's pace in the direction of the brightly coloured ward so as not to wake the little one.

Two brief knocks on one of the doors and she peeked her head around, a cautious smile on her lips as she spotted a familiar face - Familiar enough, considering they'd barely spoken in the three manic days she'd been here.

"Dr Bennett?" Shifting slightly to alleviate a cramp in her arm, the baby reacted only by furrowing her brows, arm lifting reactively into the air before settling again. "Room for one more patient?"
