where were you? -- checkups

  [font=trebuchet ms]As Nemhain arrived, Rin offered her a nod, but her attention was quickly diverted by Lemy's appearance. She couldn't miss the sourness in his voice, and the way he stood at a distance, rather than coming right over to be checked. She doubted his injuries had healed completely in the time since the Ferryman's attack, and in fact the way he sat with his shoulders hunched, and his odd gait... she had to do something.

  Well, since he couldn't hear her, she'd have to communicate some other way. Lifting a paw and gesturing for him to turn around, Rin mouthed to him, "Let me see." He might not let her, given his bitter tone. Perhaps it was out of spite, since he could have suffered a curse thanks to her; perhaps it was for the same reason he'd told Videogames to stay away from him after the sledding accident. She couldn't really be sure.

  She had to treat him, though, or at least make sure he was treating himself properly. If he caught an infection and died, then all his anger at her for putting his life at risk would have been wasted. If he refused anyway, then she'd just have to check him for any symptoms that he would agree to let her see. The eyes, the ears, and the pulse could give away a lot more than one would think.
