Of course, Fontaine and Buck become almost instant friends, having similar views on pants

But Clem has her way and at least gets to insist on them for herself and that somethings will not be happening in the spa, at least not with her in it

Jessica will let it be known she's available if they want to get dinner together or something but she's not a third wheel and will let them approach. Not for nothing, she has much to do.

"Dinner sounds great, thank you kindly, be happy to show you some picturees of how the young ones are growing if you're willing to tolerate" A smile

"Sure. See you then." she says pleasantly.

They have their token, and take the short door trod to Sunkissed waves.

And Jessica's off to her next appointment.

And Jessica does have an appointment, as her staff reminds her!

That's how she ends up being guided into the dental chair, the piskie , a local dentist, agreeing to give her her regular check up

No one loves the denist, but her health is not her own so.... she goes.

Doctor Paquito will see her now, the withered Old Piskie still with quick hands, and a nack for taking objects even out of stubborn places, making him a natural who has also had a life time of training "AH, Comtessa, worry not, my assistant, she is enchanted, kinain blood you know? Lay down lay down, we have a talk mm? "

"A talk? How?" That has always baffled her.

"Eh," he waves off her logic and such "We find way" If she hasn't laid down on the chair by now, he 'nudges her' until she does, after she puts on that thingee to keep excess drool from spilling ontop her neck and chest

She sighs and settles back, accepting the bib.

"Open up and say the aaaaah" he directs as he gets his little fancy flash light read "Let's see those beautiful fangs"

Just HOW wolf like a troll's teeth appear varies. But they do tend to have some solid looking canines

She complies.....

"Mmm " Tk tk tk "You eating too many sweets? " He asks as his light probes about with a tiny mirror to boot "Oh Jessica, have you been indulging too much the Flan?"

Jess shifts and closes her mouth before saying "No.... but I take it you heard about the Chimera?"

"Working here" As if expecting her to talk with her mouth stuck on open "No, what Chimera?"

"The flan pinata?"

"I am not the boggan, Comtessa, I often miss the gossip. Mm was Chimerical?"

"Yes. And I didn't eat any more than I had to." having settled the question, she also settles back in the chair and opens her mouth to let him work.

"mmm could be a chimerical rede then, a cavity attack" He frowns "Oh no. Jessica, listen to this..." He puts a stethescope in her ears, and dangles the other end near her open mouth

She hears a chorus of evil voices out of her mouth "We make holes in teeth! We make holes in Teeth! " Chanting

"Oh for....." a sigh "Ok. Do what you have to."

"Keep mouth open, do not swallow." He is putting on sanitary boots over his shoes, and grabbing what looks like a large hook the size of his forearm "If I'm not back out in TEN Minutes, rinse, and tell my wife I loved her"

She hears him speak in Spanish "Cavity Creeps, my old foe! We fight again"

And bunk cast, he shirnks, even as he leaps into her mouth

Jessica closes her eyes, lies still, and thinks of Fenix.

Silently, she might tally a list of names of people who must never find out about this

Within her mouth, she feels odd sensations, much like a boulder might feel if someone hit it with a pressure soaker

She quietly tries not to drown.

finally, after what seems agonizing minutes, a small figure leaps out trailing spittle, dental gel, and GLORY!

As Doctor Paquito calls out "NOW RINSE AND SPIT!"

She leans forward and does!

As the corpses of the slain cavity creep chimera are flushed away to the ignoble end they so richly deserve, Jessica's mouth feels, amazingly clean, and there's a vague after taste of bubblegum

Sh
e swallows, rinses, and spits again. Just to be sure.

Less after taste, still clean

The dentist gets up, takes the boots off, and gloves, washes his hands, and returns to her "Okay. The damage was just starting and only chimerical. Which I've taken care of. Brush, remember to floss now and then, and see you, another three months?"

"Um. Six, isn't it?"

"What, you want to starve my family?" He fusses "Fine fine... but LAST Time I say six months, you evaded until 7 and a half"

"I will set the appointment before I leave." she promises.

"Bueno. " A nod "oh, you may wish to tell Baroness Mitra she is LONG overdue? "

"I will." she promises, and leaves.... stopping by the desk to make her next appointment.

The lady at the desk , e nchanted, smiles "So... Six months from now? Would you prefer a Monday or a Thursday?"

"Um. Either one."

"I'll put you down for monday" She writes out the date and gives Jessica a copy "Should we contact the Hold Treasurer for payment or would you like to settle up now?"

The prices are, compared to to the US, remarkably cheap. Probably why so many Americans run south of the border for medical and dental vacations

"I'll settle now. It's not a County matter." she pays.
