for Daan

[100more]

[ After speaking with Ethan and, through association, a resident doctor, Hob feels better knowing that the werewolf is no longer a threat to others for now and there is someone who is checking in on those who were attacked. Insisting that Daan see to others first is probably not going to amount to much, and Hob is just grateful for the help.

Since he's still recovering quite a bit, he isn't going out anytime soon, so he'll be home whenever the doctor decides to check in on him.

And when that time comes and Hob hears a knock at the door, he gets out of bed to answer, dressed in a simple t-shirt and some sweatpants for comfort. Although he's moving slowly due to his injury and still appears rather pale, the doctor is greeted with a smile. ]

Hello, doctor. Thank you for coming.

[limbical]

[Pale skin isn't the most ideal sign, and could mean many things. Daan is glancing over Hob before giving a polite nod of his head.]

Of course. I'm sorry we're even meeting this way, but nothing to be done about it.

Now then. Get your ass to sitting down, and tell me what injuries you sustained. How you were treated after, and your current condition. Sorry to get right to business, but I want to be sure you're healing well after everything.

[He's tired and has a line of patients, but Daan isn't going to half-ass any of it.]

[100more]

I'm sure you meet a lot of people this way, unfortunately.

[ Must come with the territory, right? But then he gets the doctors orders and is suddenly feeling more alert. ]

Uh, yes, sir.

[ Hob lets the doctor in and shuts the door behind him, then walks slowly to the couch where he can sit. His shirt is lifted enough to show the bandages around his middle. ]

I was cut here by his claws. One was pretty deep, so my friend stitched it up.

[limbical]

Sure, but I prefer if it's over a nice drink, you know.

[But Hob is a good patient who sits down as soon as he's told, showing the bandages. Daan sets down his bag full of medical supplies, and kneels down to open his bag. First, he snaps on a pair of latex gloves, fetching some additional items. Antibacterial gel, bandages, and so forth.]

I'm going to remove it and take a look for myself. After we're done, you'll have some new bandages.

That work for you?

[100more]

[ A smile. ]

Then I hope I can pour you one next time. And yes, that would be great. Thank you.

[ At his words, Hob nods and pulls his shirt up the rest of the way to place it next to him. He sits forward on the couch so Daan has room to work. The stitching is not expert, but it's done the job, so long as Hob is being careful enough not to break them. ]

[limbical]

Well now. I wouldn't say no to that.

[As one might expect, Daan's hands are elegant and steady as he works, unbinding the bandages in order to have a proper look. True, the stitches are not immaculate, but they work well and shouldn't be fussed with. There's a satisfied nod from Daan before he goes into his bag.]

I'm going to provide you with antibiotics to ensure you heal. The wound looks clean, and shouldn't need additional help. There might be some discharge, but unless the wound feels hot or inflamed you should be fine.

Do you know if you lost a lot of blood during the encounter?

[100more]

[ Hob nods at the instructions. Obviously Daan is skilled and knows what he's talking about. ]

Most of the blood was lost after. I'm afraid I wasn't as careful as I should have been.

[ Mostly he kept trying to stop Johanna from leaving, which involved too much thrashing about until he couldn't actually fight anymore. ]

[limbical]

I would normally suggest a blood transfusion, but I'm afraid that it's not really an option with lack of equipment. So, you'll have to make sure to do a few things.

[Gently and with a swab, he is working to apply some gel to the wound.]

First, you ensure you do no extraneous activity. Second, you ensure you do no extraneous activity. I have known enough stubborn people to feel the need to repeat myself.

Drink plenty of fluids. I'll bring you some supplements to help with the blood loss. And, of course, the medication I'm leaving you.

[When the gel is done, Daan is preparing fresh bandages.]

Replace your bandages daily. When you do, make use of this gel I'm leaving you. You should recover decently, but if you feel like something is wrong I heavily encourage you to contact me.

[100more]

[ The gel is a little chilly, but Hob is patient enough with it, and Daan is gentle enough. ]

So I should avoid marathons and break dancing for now. Got it.

[ But Daan, isn't there a gala coming up? How can Hob avoid going to that? Maybe he can shuffle slowly about on the dance floor? ]

That sounds like a great help. Thank you.

[ Hob will be religious about taking his medicine, at least, and drinking lots of fluids. ]

I will call if something seems amiss. We're very lucky to have you in this city with us.
