Thrax; He's fine, it's my daughter.
Drix: Your daughter? What's wrong?
Thrax; 8explains the situation8
Drix: I see... I"m on my way.
Thrax; Thanks.

Carlos; 8opened the door slightly then glared at Drix8
Drix: Thrax called me.

Drix: thank you *steps in* Where is Thrax?
Carlos; Master bedroom, upstairs first door on the left.
Drix: Thank you. *heads there*
Thrax; 8was sitting next to NS with ozzy on his lap8
Drix: *knocks on the door before stepping in*
Thrax; 8looked up8
Drix: I came as fast as I could...
Ozzy: *smiles a little*
Drix: *smiles backa t ozzy still getitng used to hsi best friend being a virus* Hey ozzy. *places his hand on top of his head*
Ozzy; 8giggled8
Drix: smiles* good to see you too. *looks to NS and frowns a little* Is this the lass?
Thrax; 8nodded8
Drix: *takes out a thermometer to take her temprature* hmm.. I don't think I can do it orally with her in this condition... i'm worried she will bite down.
Thrax; 8bit his lip8
Drix: *gently turns her over*
Ozzy; 8tilted his head8
Drix: sorry but I have no other way to take her temprature without risking her biting the thermometer... *gives Thrax a bit of a look when he sees the diaper on her but makes no comment as he takes her temprature*
NS: *protests w ith a whine in her sleep*
Thrax; 8covers ozzy's eyes8
Drix *puts the sheets over her lower half a little for modesty though she isn't fully awake and soon pulls the thermometer out and cleans it, frowning* What is her normal temprature. Do you know?
Thrax; Never really checked but it's too high at the minute.
Drix: One hundred three point eight...
Thrax; 8gulps8
Drix: has she been given anything lately *
Thrax; We've given her medachine but it only helps for a while.
Drix: *nods* when was her last dose?
Thrax; Yesterday, we tried giving her some this morning.
Drix: did she take it?
Thrax; 8shook his head8
Drix: *nods and takes out a capsule* Now you must be very very careful when you do this.. 8cradles her carefully* It's easy to choke her.
Thrax; 8watched closely8
Drix: * carefully pours a small ammount into her mouth ,holding her in a way that will prevent her from choaking and starts to massage her throat gently, not knowing how she reacted before when Thrax did it*
NS: *whimpers becooming frightened again.
Drix: easy now... easy... *moves his hand lightly in a downward motion, carefully moving his fingers down before lifting them and lightly stroking once more* It's alright... Thrax has she been choaked before?
Thrax; In an abusive way/ Probably.
Drix: *frowns* By whom?
Thrax; That I'm afraid I don't know.
Drix: How long has she been in your care?
NS: *couchs slightly*
Drix: *unwraps the wound and frowns* Thrax this is severely infected...
Thrax; She arrived a day or two after we got ozzy.
Drix: do you have any table sugar?
Thrax; Drix, we can only get what we can.
Drix: *nods* I understand. but do you have any plain table sugar.
Thrax; 8shook his head8
Drix: *nods* if you can get ahold of some do so. It's cheeper than ointment and far more effective against infection. *begins to gently drain the wound and clean it*
NS: *whimpers in pain and squirms, held gently still by drix*
Thrax; Easier said than done.
Drix: I"ll bring yuou some... I've plenty of extra at home... Shhh.. lass it's ok.
NS: *crying softly*
Thrax; 8strokes her cheek8
Drix: *looks at Ozzy to make sure he's ok*
Ozzy; 8was cuddling into his daddy's chest8
Drix: *cleans and redresses the wound wincing as NS nearly wails as he pours an antibiotic solution in the wound* How did she get this wound? It's righ tthrough her shoulder...
Thrax; An arrow.
Drix: *decides to ask later and gently wraps the wound* I'm going to give her a shot for pain...Do I have your permission?
Thrax; If it'll help.
Drix: 8ndos and draws up a syrenge*
NS: *would cry and wail if she were awake, but as it sis all she does is whimper as he injects it into the muscle of her arm*
Thrax; 8strokes her hair8
Drix: *lays her back down* There now...
Thrax; 8holds ozzy close8
NS: 8sniffles as she's lain back on her tummy*
Drix: Ozzy? *reaches over and stroke's his hair* Ar eyou alright buddy?
Ozzy; 8opened his eyes8 Hmmm/
Drix: Are you alright?
Ozzy; 8nodded and sighed in content8

NS: *sniffs softlky, nuzzling*
Thrax; How long until she well/
Drix: That's hard to say actually... The infection is pretty severe...
Thrax; 8bit his lip8
Drix: The shot I gave her should help her feel better. I know her shoulder will be sore after all that messing with it I did... But I got most of the dead tissue and pus out.
Thrax; 8sighs in relief8 That's good.
Drix: Her stomache might be upset for a little whiel as a side effect.
Thrax; Just that?
Drix: That's the most likely one.
Thrax; 8nods8 Thank you for your help.
Drix: You're welcome. I'll bring you the medicine and some syrgenges for the shots.
NS: *softly* Shots?
Thrax; *stroked her hair* How often will I have to give it to her.
Drix: twice a day. Can you handle it?
Thrax; Of course.
Drix: *nods* I'll get it ready for you.
Thrax; Thank you.
NS: *sniffles and looks timidly up at Drix*
Thrax; 8lightly pats her side8
Drix: *gently* I won't hurt you little one.
Thrax; He's right honey.
NS: *whimpers a little anyway*
Thrax; 8kissed her forehead8
NS; *sniffes and nuzzles him*
Thrax; 8rocks her gently8
NS: *rests her head on his shoulder, still very hot but not as msuch as before*
Drix: *goes to prepare the medicine thrax will need*
Thrax; 8nuzzles both his children8
NS: *looks over at ozzy and murmurs something softly that, in her language, means brother and cuddles up to him*
Ozzy; 8cooed softly8
NS: 8lets out a soft coo of her own to echo his, cuddling with Ozzy as though it were the most natural thing in the world*
Thrax; 8smiles softly at them8
NS: 8soon falls back asleep,she and her new brother nestled safely in their father's arms*
Thrax; 8wraps the blanket round them8
NS: *inhales deeply and lets it out as a long slow sigh*
