Myxo was leaning on her doorway with arms crossed and head tucked into her chest as the commotion made its way down the hallway. As they reached the office, a small startled snort could be heard from the doctor as she jerks to a slightly more presentable position. Was she just asleep?
Probably.
The doctor scratched her forehead as she wobbled into the office, mumbling for the two to follow her inside. "C'mon... woulda had the whooooole day off if it weren't for this last min' appointment thing...
...Chambered- chambered nautilus, right?" the woman asks formally, even though it's obvious. No other kid would have those eyes, shell, or mass of tentacles! "And- your dragon hatched, it'sssa... uhhh, leviathan, yeah?" Plopping into her stool, she motions for Laial to sit up on the paper-and-plastic bed.

Cerlyn rolled her eyes. "Then it's fair." She had a kid this afternoon. "Besides, it wasn't that planned."
Laial winced as he remembered why they were coming. He wouldn't have responded to the doctor, but Cerlyn was there. "Yes, ma'am..."
Heiko finally flopped into the room, proving that she was indeed a leviathan. A pink one, at that.

Despite her apparent narcolepsy and snappishness from the other woman, Myxo can't help but giggle at the small pink leviathan. "Heh, thass'socute! I haven't seen any of th'dragons before this, Are they all... that cute, huh?"
Alas, even though it's a charming little distraction, the doctor still gets to work putting together Laial's vaccine concoction. "You're a li'l late, huh? Well, better late thannn... sick, I guess," Myxo muses. The child seems pretty... nautilusey. Could he retract his tentacles?
"Can you retract your tentacles?" The question pops out somewhat absurdly.

Cerlyn rolled her eyes and left. She didn't want to be here, neither did the other, so BAM!
Heiko smiled at the nice lady. Even though she didn't quite know the answer.... Lev was more...masculainy cute than her.
Laial blinked. "Of course I can!" he replied, somewhat insulted. To prove his point, he retracted all of his tentacles, so that now he looked more like a snail child instead of a nautilus.

Heiko's smiled is returned with a sleepy, tipsy grin from the doctor before she turns fully back onto Laial. She golf-claps in approval with an encouraging chuckle. Surely this is a woman easily entertained!
"Kay, could you hold'em like that for juss'a smidge?" Myxo requests, while for once fulfilling standard medical protocols and swabbing the nautilus's arm. With the other hand, she brings in the syringe and warns, "S'gonna hurt just a little bit, kay?" before poking the needle into the right place. The whole thing is emptied after a good few (probably very awkward) seconds.
A bandage patterned with bright blue bubbles is stuck over the site of penetration with a bit of a wobbly flourish. "There y'go, you're set. Have a good day, alright?" the doctor grins, patting Laial on the side of his shell.
((Sorry for condensing it so much. XD; I have to go!))

((No prob.))
Laial had been very still and quiet throughout the procedure, although he did smile at the clapping. The needle didn't really seem to hurt that much...
Heiko flopped out of the room, giving a 'wave' to the doctor before leaving fully.
Laial followed his dragon, until his eye got distraced. Ooh, pretty band-aid...
Cerlyn-Ama groaned from the waiting-room. Gods, this kid was a ditz...

Donat wandered into the office, looking around with deep curiousity in his wide blue eyes. For the boy's first real trip to the doctor, he did not seem scared or bothered in the least. His father had explained to him very gently and carefully that he needed to get some shots so he would not get sick, and that it was alright if Donat was scared, because shots bothered a lot of people.
The goat failed to understand why this would be scary. Granted, he was not exactly sure what this process involved yet, except that Kumoru had assured him exhaustively that it would hurt, but it would only hurt a little bit and maybe ache for a day and then it would be over.
Not getting sick sounded like a good idea, anyway.
The mage followed his son in, a hand resting gently on the boy's shoulder. All the parenting magazines had offered all kinds of advice for taking a child in for his first vaccinations, but Kumoru had found them all so varied and generally conflicting, and so specific to the child that it would probably be best to just wing it.
Donat was, after all, the boy who had wandered away from home into the forest in the middle of the night with nothing but a granola bar and a cup of water. Kumoru figured he probably did not need to worry too much.

Doctor Mycota had been absent from her office for quite some time, which would probably be apparent to the two just walking in. Little bits of stagnant dust wafted lazily about the room, and for once things were nice and neat as cleaning orderlies had nothing stopping them from doing their job.
Myxo herself was busy being fascinated by a Newton's cradle she got for herself as a(n extremely early) Christmas present. As Donat and his parent walked in, she turned to face them, ending up being lightly whacked on the nose by one of the swinging steel balls.
"Oh, Donat, 'uh? Cave goat, right? I got your file right'ere," she said in her tipsy, sleepy tone, pointing to said file that was on the desk next to her arrangement of vaccines. "What took y'guys sso long? I was expecting you a month ago!" It sounded likthe supposed doctor was trying to place the blame on someone other than herself-- but who could blame her, now having to pay for her own coffee as punishment for her neglectful behavior?
"Sit on the bed and less' get started, kay?"

Kumoru gave the goat-boy a hand up to get onto the table, then glanced at the doctor.
"A month ago?" he repeated half to himself. Had it been that long? "My apologies," the mage told her with a slight bow. "We had someone try to break into our house, and so things have been a bit hectic since. They're finally starting to settle down now, though."
He forced a small smile and ruffled Donat's hair. "I think after this one gets his shots, we'll be able to relax for at least a little while."
Donat nodded in agreement with everything his father said, his brows knitting a little as Kumoru mentioned the attempted break-in. After all the time that had passed since then, the goat was still at a loss as to why some random stranger would want to get into their house.
Oh well. He figured he probably needed to have manners for the doctor, too, since his father was standing right there and all.
"Hiyas, Doctor Ma'am," he said with a little smile and a wave, wondering faintly how she knew his name already. "Daddy says I need shots. What are shots made of?"

Myxo waved off the guardian's surprise, grunting and getting to work.
She grinned widely at the kid's question as she got everything together, though. "Well... shots're made of lotsa things that keep ya from gettin' sick. Some of'em have dead germs in'em so your immune system can learn how to fight'em... I guess s'kinda like learning how to use a sword on a scarecrow, uh?"
A hand poised the usual needle above the kid's arm, and after the general this-might-pinch-a-bit warning, the vaccine was administered with little mess. "Your arm might be a li'l sore, but that'll wear off," the doctor concluded, slapping her hands loosely across each other in a familiar finality motion.
"Y'know how to get outta here, right? Come by if anythin' weird happens." A smirk, and the doctor turned away to occupy herself with something else. Any questions would be liable to just bounce off her.

Donat, against his father's warnings, watched Myxo give him the injection with intense interest. His brows knit a little as he felt the pinch of the shot, and then a dull ache spread through the muscle of his upper arm as the vaccine went into it.
He was all smiles again by the time the bandaid was on his arm, though. "That's cool," the goat said as he tenderly poked at his arm with his other fingers. "So now I won't get sick at all?"
"Well, there are certain sicknesses you won't get. I guess just the usual childhood vaccinations?" The mage glanced up at Myxo, then back at Donat. "So don't think that means you can get away without doing that whole apple-a-day thing. Keep that up."
He ruffled Donat's hair a little and helped him down off of the examining table, then out of the office. Hopefully D-corp would cover the cost of the shots, but if not... what was another bill?
At least Donat had been alright with it. There were all those horror stories in the parenting magazines Kumoru would never admit to having read about children screaming like banshees when they got shots.
This deserved a reward. "Hey, let's go get some donuts or something on the way home."
Donat could live with that. "Okay," he replied with a grin. He wore his bandaid with pride as they left the doctors' office.
