Chapter 110: A prescription for uncertain happiness
Pov 3 person
Lappland: " All right . "
Said Lappland , already tired with all of these . After which she stood up and pulled off her clothes . The red T-shirt and black short shorts quickly landed on the floor , leaving Lappland covered only by bandages and underwear put over them .
Doctor Linzi : " Lappland you are bleeding . "
Said surprised Dr. Linzi , walking up rather quickly to a confused Lappland . Whose one of the wolf ears drooped together with her head tilt , emphasizing her confusion . Lappland only after hearing this , looked at herself and she indeed saw that in a few places on her bandages , some dark red spots appeared .
However, Lappland herself did not have time to say anything about it as Dr. Linzi had already taken care of the issue . Quickly and skillfully removing the bandages from Lappland 's body , Dr.Linzi looked at the crystals on Lappland's skin . It was around some of these crystals, at the point where they connect to healthy skin, that blood flowed.
Lappland : " When I stretched in the morning, I felt that something was wrong ..... And well, I wasn't wrong much. "
Said Lappland , not very concerned about the situation . On the other hand, however, Dr. Linzi was not too happy with what she saw .
Dr. Linzi : " The crystals are hard and non-stretchable , so they will be tearing away from the healthy stretchable tissue . "
Said Dr. Linzi after a quick visual inspection . Which at first glance did not give much information . The amount of blood was large , but not somehow alarmingly .
Dr. Linzi : " I don't even have a way to sew it shut . Fortunately I don't see too serious wounds . Only the top layer of skin was torn enough for blood to flow . Nonetheless , the risk of infection is high and healing this will be difficult because the crystal may make the process difficult or completely nullify it . "
Said Dr. Linzi focusing on how to deal with the situation . However, Lappland stopped focusing on the mumbling Dr. Linzi and looked at her blood , flowing slowly just over the edge of where the crystal connects to the skin .
Lappland's gaze became distant , her ears and tail drooped . Lappland looked absent , staring and apparently listening to something other than Dr. Linzi . Her mood became unreadable , she seemed lethargic . But Lappland was like this not for long , as she was pulled out of her state by a cotton swab , held by delicate feminine fingers .
This cotton swab absorbed the blood from her wounds . And the faint smell of that blood mixed with the sharp smell of medical supplies made Lappland look up from the hand holding the cotton swab , and look at Dr. Linzi who was cleaning her wounds .
Although the process of cleaning wounds should be unpleasant at best , Lappland did not even blink . She simply stood further thoughtful but this time more present . From time to time she looked at Dr. Linzi who was treating her. Dr. Linzi , despite her concentration, did not miss Lappland's behavior. But despite seeing Lappland's behavior she did not stop the treatment.
Doctor Linzi : " Shall I prescribe you something ? Or do you want to talk about it? "
Asked again Dr. Linzi , without much hope of receiving agreement from Lappland . However, it was appropriate to ask . After all, perhaps Lappland will eventually agree . However, there was no hope in it . And well Lappland did not disappoint . As soon as Lappland heard this she snapped awake and she giggled in that creepy, psychotic but yet somehow sweet way of hers .
Lappland : " We know very well how this will end . This crap just costs a lot of money and doesn't help at all . I just want to take it more and more which pulls me even lower . I already prefer it to be like it is now . I didn't mind this kind of life . After all, this is the only life I know . This is my norm . And as for talking ? What should we talk about ? There is nothing to talk about ."
Said Lappland , without expectations already accustomed . As she said , such a life is the norm for her . After all , she has never been " normal " , she has been so twisted since she can remember . Talking and medication won't change anything anymore . At most it can only irritate her .
Dr. Linzi : " I'm not saying it will help you , however, it may relax you a little . Besides, I assure you that what I am going to prescribe now will not harm you. I will prescribe you natural herbs , they are much safer to use ."
Said Dr. Linzi , wrapping new bandages on Lappland's body .
Lappland: " Herbs ? For real ? I already drank them as a kid and those didn't help at all . And now ? If medicines don't help me , why should a few leaves suddenly work wonders . "
Asked Lappland with amusement and disbelief .
Dr. Linzi : " Yes , herbs . "
Said Dr. Linzi without hesitation . She was serious and she was not joking . She really believed what she said .
Dr. Linzi : " Not addictive natural medicine . Not as effective or good as modern medicine but before modern medicine was invented , herbs kept people and faunus alive . Sometimes , properly administered is as potent as today's drugs , but without their downsides ."
Said Dr Linzi , tightening and tying the bandages .
Dr. Linzi : " It's true that as a child you already drank them . But you didn't drink the really strong ones . You only drank the watered-down , store-bought teas that were appropriate for your age . And contrary to your own impressions , Mrs . Kali spoke well of their effects ."
Dr. Linzi continued , not paying attention to Lappland . Which had no intention of interrupting her .
Doktork Linzi : " Now , I'll prescribe you not the store ones but the real wild herbs . To calm you down and give you a good night's sleep. I do not say that they will take care of all your problems right away . However, you should give them a chance and see how it works out . Who knows maybe it will help you a little .I will give you the address of the woman who makes them . I know her and I know that she can make mixtures that would knock down even a Ursa."
Said Dr. Linzi , finishing dressing Lappland .
Doctor Linzi : " She can also offer you something stronger . "
Said Dr. Linzi going over to her personal purse to take out a package of cigarettes . After which she returned and handed it to Lappland . And Lappland getting the package in her hand suddenly froze . Lifting the pack of cigarettes to her nose , Lappland smelled it in disbelief . At the smell, her eyes widened and her pupils contracted
Lappland : " HahaHa haHAha hAha ... I didn't know you were like that doctor . Isn't this shit illegal in Vale . ? "
Asked Lappland , after the laughter . A goofy grin appeared on her happy face . Her tail at that moment started waving with joy .
Dr. Linzi : " In Mistral is fully legal . In Atlas illegal . And in Vale and Vacuo . It is legal for medical purposes . "
Said Dr. Linzi , without dwelling further on the subject .
Lappland: " What about the addiction to this doc ? Besides , shouldn't you as a doctor discourage me from smoking . "
Asked Lappland with doubt , adding a little humorous sarcasm right afterwards .
Dr. Linzi : " Addiction to this , is certainly less harmful than addiction to the psychotropic drugs you have been taking . In the case of this , at most you will have hunger attacks and headaches . Also , I will wrote out for you how much you can smoke per day . "
Dr Linzi : " And as for encouraging you to smoke . Smoking this is much less harmful than smoking those cheap cigarettes in which half of this low quality tobacco is harmful chemicals . I really don't know what you and Blake are thinking smoking something like this . Leaving that aside , if you do smoke , smoke something less harmful . "
Said Dr. Linzi copletely serious , looking at Lappland with growing irritation . Lappland was not too concerned about Dr. Linzi's harsh words . Looking at her she didn't even look like she was listening . She was at that moment too busy with the package in her hands .
Lappland: " So... Do you write your own prescriptions yourself doctor ? "
Asked Lappland with amusement , making fun of the doctor . But Dr. Linzi shook her head without intending to play Lappland games .
Dr. Linzi :" Although it is not illegal , no , I do not write prescriptions for myself . I visit other specialists to get it..."
Said Dr. Linzi however she interrupted at one point . Apparently not wanting to share any more information . Lappland however stopped playing with her cigarettes when her ear twitched . Apparently she heard something the others couldn't . Looking at Dr. Lappland she noticed it .... A slight sadness creeping across her face .
Lappland: " Should I contact my dealer ? "
Asked Lappland , again joking , trying to improve the mood . Although due to Lappland's normal behavior Dr. Linzi didn't even notice what the wolf girl did . Yet , despite not noticing it , Dr. Lizni still snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head .
Dr. Linzi : " There is no need , so do not buy anything from suspicious people . I will write you a prescription to a specialist and expert in herbs , who will give you the best quality stuff . "
Dr. Lizni : " With your medical record I have adequate justification for this prescription . Just remember that the cigarettes I gave you in now , are mixed with ordinary nicotine . The ones I prescribed you are pure . So don't be discouraged if these don't work well enough . When you buy a prescription , only then will you get a strong enough dose ."
Said Dr. Lizni walking over to the computer , to write a prescription .
Lappland: " What about you ? Don't you need them ? "
Asked Lappland, waving the package in front of Dr. Linzi . However, Dr. Lizni only looked at them and shook her head .
Dr. Linzi : " Do you smell that I smoked them ? "
Asked Dr. Linzi , to which Lappland , not smelling a smell , confirming this , denied shaking her head .
Dr. Lizni : " See ? No problem , you can have them . I have not smoked them for two months . I didn't need too . However, I had this pack left , so I left them just in case . Besides , they cost a little and I didn't want to waste the money . "
Said Dr. Lizni , after which she saddened again . With quick steps she walked back to Lappland taking two cigarettes from the pack . After which she walked back to the computer . And Lappland looking at the half-full packet shrugged her shoulders and threw it on her clothes on the ground .
Doctor Linzi : " By the way , you can get dressed now ".
Said Dr. Linzi already tired of Lappland . Lappland listening to her, began to dress . After which she waited a while until Doctor Linzi finished typing .
Doctor Linzi : " This is a prescription for ointment to soften and stretch the skin . Rub it where the crystals connect to the skin . It won't prevent the skin from tearing , but it will certainly increase the stretchiness of the skin and should help alleviate the problem to some extent . Also, let Blake tonight help you change your bandages . So also buy a bandage . And watch the wounds to see if they heal or if an intervention will be needed"
Said Dr. Lizni , handing Lappland a piece of paper with a prescription . After which she held out a second piece of paper in front of Lappland .
Doctor Linzi : " This is a prescription for all herbs . The drinkable ones and the smoking ones . When someone is going to give you trouble with anything you smoke , you show them this prescription . Beside this paper prescriptions , I will also send it to you on a scroll . You should also be already on the patient registry with a prescription for this , so the police should not give you any problems . "
Said Dr. Lizni , handing Lappland the second piece of paper .
Dr. Linzi : " We are now finished . You can go "
