"I didn't know the pipe was going to break, but besides that, I DID say, I warned you today was Friday the 13th and in our world that serious business, brah"

"Yeah, now you tell me." He presents himself to the nurse.

The usual nurse is.. not here.

Adam explains what happened.

Well for a moment, there's no one to explain to. The usual nurse isn't here, and ...

then foot steps "Sorry, stepped out for the moment for the lady's room" A cheerful voice says

Zane turns, "I take it back. It's the best day ever." He's staring at the source of the voice.

The woman is pretty enough, but to enchanted eyes, her scrubs transform into a costume that is not approved of by most nursing organizations

"Hi, I'm the new nurse, Charis, " And she smiles "Hey, you guys are kithain." SHe's clearly enchanted herself. "Well, one of you is. What's the problem?"

Adam's jaw drops. "Best -week- ever."

"Hi, Charis. That's a beautiful name. I'm Adam, this is my buddy Zane."

And he explains what happened.

"It's wonderful to see more kinian around," Zane says

"Thanks. I am in fact satyr blooded," She smiles, then when Adam explains, she grows more serious "Let me see that arm mm?"

"So.... figured I should come here and get cleaned up. Infection, you know?"

"All yours. " he volunteers eagerly.

He has to take his shirt off, "Oh someone's an athlete I'm guessing" Admiringly "Okay, I don't see any blisters or any thing forming, but I'm going to wash this arm off with anti bacitioal soap and take GOOD care of you, okay?" She tells him.

"Yeah." He breathes. "Fantastic. "

It maybe the most erotic arm wash he's ever had in his LIFE, long smooth strokes, trailing finger tips here and there... and her eyes, which seem doe like under enchantment. "mm I have a sweatshirt top you can wear if you want me to put that shirt in a plastic bag to take home? We don't know what was in the water, but I don't think it's too bad."

"Yeah. That would be great, Nurse Charis."

"Now, if there's any nasty rash," She warns in a breathy voice, "that forms up in the next day or two, you'll want to have your folks see a doctor. Mmmkay? just be on the look out for signs, but other wise, don't sweat it too much. Clearly you're a healthy young man with a lot of .." she eyes him "Vigor."

"Yeah. I play basketball. Varsity. You look like you keep fit."

"Thaaaank you, I try. Mostly just walking, and jogging," She looks at Zane, "Now, did you need anything or..."

Zane suddenly grunts and puts his hand behind "Ow ..yeah... I think I tried to dodge the spray I may have hurt something.. my back... "

Nurse Charis looks alarmed "oh my!" She moves to him as she hands Adam his temp sweat shirt

"Yeah, he slipped in the water, might have wrenched something." Adam volunteers, holding the shirt.

"Okay, hree I need to feel your spine, that okay?" She asks Zane.

Zane nods "Sure sure.. please."

She runs her hands under Zane's shirt, "Mmmm"

Zane looks ready to purr.

Adam grins excitedly at Zane where the nurse can see.

Zane shoots him a quick grin, then hides it. Soon he's getting an oil put on his back

Adam straightens his face, too.

"And here's some apsirin, now you be careful about heavy lifting... let others..." Nurse Charis says into Zane's ear "Do the work for a day or two mmm? They won't mind"

"I'm get by with a little help from my friends" Zane nods

"I'm there for ya, dude."

There's a coughing sound and the nurse turns.

Jimmy says "Not feeling great, maybe I've got the Shinola virus?"

"Oh my... " She turns to Zane and Adam, handing adam his shirt in the plastic bag "You two go out in case he does have something. I'm going to have to be very through"

"It was great to meet you. Welcome to Rivervale! Want me to come by on a free period, talk Kinain stuff?"

"Or I can help talk to you about the traggos? My dad is .. pretty important in the community, well connected" Zane assures

Jimmy looks at them "Cough cough hack hack" he says rather htan does with a look of 'hey, my turn'

"He is." Supporting Zane, too.

"Oh everyone here is SO friendly" Nurse Charis says "Now you guys feel free to drop by ANY time I'm not busy, or if you're not feeling well even when I am. I'm afraid I will be here till six, but maybe I'll see you around. Ta ta. Don't vape. Eat right" She blows a kiss

And then..closes the door to the office leaving them on the outside

Adam turns and high-fives Zane. "DUDE!!"

High five met with gusto "I SWEAR I had no idea... did you know? "

"No!!!"

"Best fuckin' week ever!!"
