It could have been a lot worse, to be honest. She wasn't a smear on the pavement of the facility by any means, but just getting up after taking her breather post beat down had been a challenge of every muscle in her torso screaming in agony at her. Dear god, had Caelius really hit her that hard? Still, it had taken a bit of effort to get back inside to start heading to the infirmary to get a once over.
She wasn't sure if she was feeling a bruise, or 'love bite', forming on her chest or that was the feeling of a broken rib at this point. If it was something serious, she didn't want to end up dead in a bed because of it in some future instance. It was probably only halfway to said room that she paused to actually ponder her options of going.
Dr. H(annibal, she still believed this) was there and for all she knew he'd do horrible things to her while she slept. Or just use the bruises as Rorschachs and draw on them to make drawings of..s**t, she didn't even know, penises or something. On the other hand, she could have ended up with her organs in different jars and turned into a mutant training dummy for other trainees as an example of what happened if you fought with Caelius.
Either way, she did eventually end up at her original goal, looming in the doorway awkwardly before she took a few steps in.
"Hello?"
Cassandra Norris looked around, rubbing the back of her neck out of a habit that was forming because of sniper-darts from too much Jenga. "I um...just wrapped up a......very one sided fight with Mr. Caelius and ..uhh.."
s**t, what was she supposed to say?

A few Moon and Life hunters were crowded around the doctor, crying about big mean Caelius and how they didn't want to try and get him back, or properly chipped, and he was so scary ohnoes. "Do you really think I care for excuses? Get an elephant gun if you have to, drug his food, poison his hairgel! The man's clearly coming unhinged due to constant failure, so I really do think you need to just suck it up and deal with him. And if you can't I will. And then I'll deal with you, all of you as well."
At Cassandra's entrance, he gave her a slight bow, "And enter a sweet little Case-in-Point. The man's beating on the succulent, young...nubile...trainees of other divisions. Just look at the poor thing, my god. That depraved monster must be stopped! Yes, just step into this office, my dear. Don't worry, I'm a trained medical professional. I can make you feel all better."
In the background somebody murmured something about being wanted in several countries, but the doctor just grinned as he ushered Cassandra into an empty examination room.

Cass's safety level had just decreased by a significant amount, to be honest. On one hand, Caelius was...dangerous enough that he was now being man-hunted it seemed. She should have been counting her blessings to have not died horribly. On the other hand, she'd suddenly been turned into a... 'succulent' and 'nubile' trainee within a sentence.
The alarm in her head wanted to go off, but Nicodemus sat on it. You're fine. <> She wasn't exactly sure how 'fine' she felt about it, but she did try to not seem utterly creeped out by the entire thing. She just smiled, nodded, and shot someone a look that said something akin to 'if I don't walk out of this room, tell Marcus I loved him' as a final thought.
But she didn't fuss too much as she entered the empty examination room, just finding a place and sitting down while trying to not look nervous about the entire scenario. She probably should have asked for an adult, but... he would have probably insisted he was an adult and that she was just fine.
"I..." she bit her lower lip, again trying to figure out what she should have said to the man. "I'm going to admit I'm concerned that I may have a broken rib after that run in....." She probably didn't, but it was still possible. Even with just a normal pole the Death Hunter hit fast and hard.

A very white, very straight set of teeth glinted underneath the doctor's hood as he grinned at the trainee, "Is that so? That Caelius, what a terrible man to have harmed you so. Tsk-tsk. Well, I suppose you had better remove your shirt then, hm?"
Perhaps mentioning the rib wasn't the wisest course of conversation. Somewhere Marcus was likely trying to do The Maths, and hoping Cassandra wasn't passed out in the doctor's vicinity. Sadly, that would likely be the safer alternative to her current situation.

.............................
<< Please let my head alarms go off, Nick...>>
You're fine. He's a professional.
<<.....>>
Despite what Nicodemus was thinking, Cass wasn't completely convinced. Especially how....how did anybody get teeth that perfect? Even Cass's weren't that nice and she took very good care of her dental hygiene. Never the less, it was with great hesitation that the mist hunter removed her scarf, then the jacket (it was more like a vest, really)... and then she gave Dr. H a very long look before she finally pulled the shirt off.
As suspected, her torso was littered with bruises which were in varying states of the shade of purple, though some were threatening to turn very black as they were.
Still, Cass was not in possession of a poker face strong enough for the suspicion she was feeling.

"Mmm...that cad, littering your soft, supple skin with the brand of his perpetual tantrums." Long fingers gently trailed along her torso, feather-light, and he leaned in close, until his mouth was at her ear, "Now, my dear, I want you slowly breathe in, as deep as you can, hold it for just a moment, and then slowly exhale. Can you do this for me?"

No. Calm down.
The greatest ability of all was for Cass to not just whine something along the lines of 'bad touch' or 'help, I need an adult' right then. Seriously, she was starting to wonder about her safety level...but he hadn't done anything to her when she'd been passed out at his mercy, right? Yeah, she'd keep telling herself that...for however long.
Even so, her curiosity tempted her to glance underneath the hood when the man drew his face to her ear, her face flushing from the proximity of it all. This was seeming more and more inappropriate, but still she nodded.
"Yessir..." she answered. The deep breath part of it was the easiest part, to be honest, as was holding it.
Trying to not be impatient as she exhaled would be the challenge, but at least the first part was done.

He listened to her breath and then drew back, still smiling, "Good girl, Cassandra, very good." His fingers stroked her abdomen,slowly with the slightest increase in pressure. "Now, I want you to tell me where it hurts, my dear. Not just a little hurt, mind you, the deep and aching hurt that leaves you tender and wincing."

Cass's toes curled up in her boots and she bit her lower lip, trying to not just mentally scream at her weapon that she was creeped the ******** out. Certainly she'd heard...stories...that Dr. H was interesting but this was...so much worse. He definitely was making the badtouch alarms go off in her head.
At least they would have been going off if Nicodemus didn't keep smacking them like they were an alarm clock of some sort.
When his hand brushed over one of the bruises on her ribs she suddenly winced visibly, grabbing her seat with a deathgrip. "Ow, ow!" It took a lot to not have a knee-jerk reaction from the contact, but kneeing the Doctor probably wouldn't have earned her any future favors. "Right there." she answered, trying to not break out into swearing.

The doctor hummed softly, and bent down to take a closer look, fingers softly exploring the area, "So that's your special spot, is it?" He murmured, breath tickling warmly across her abdomen, "Well, I can ease your troubled mind, Cassandra, it's neither broken nor out of place. Just a bit bruised. You really shouldn't play with Caelius, my dear, he just doesn't know how to handle the young and eager."
With a sigh, the doctor straightened up and reached behind her, his body closing the already small distance between them. He withdrew slightly, and suddenly something cold touched her torso, "A cold pack, to ease the pain, though I'll see you get something nice to take orally as well. You'll find yourself quite tender for the next few days, so try not to do anything too strenuous, hm?"

Play nice.

Cass forced a grin to not seem as though she was completely creepered out by the entire situation. Yay! No broken rib! She just got borderline molested to prove that. She wasn't sure if it was worth it, but still. "Oh, he isn't very nice to play with. He's very particular about how they should be played, really." She probably should have given him her extra five minutes of sleep, to be honest.
Still, the close proximity he seemed to have at all times was not comforting and she nearly jumped at the cold touch..that was not exactly his, just a cold pack. Surprise aside, it actually felt rather pleasant. Again, the trainee smiled.
"I appreciate it." she said, before pausing. "I assume it is alright to put my shirt back on now?" She didn't exactly want to walk around naked, but if he was still examining things, she didn't want to be gung-ho either.

The doctor sighed and moved away, giving her a bemused once-over. "Yes, of course, my dear. Between that and the ice pack, you seem to have caught...something of a chill. How very thoughtless of me." The tilt of his lips indicated a dozen unspoken innuendos and offers as he fell silent, watching her dress. A soft chime sounded, and he sighed once again. His cellphone. Too many imbeciles knew how to contact him.
Dr. H made his way to the door, pausing only to give the trainee one last piece of advice. "In the future, do be more careful as to who you choose to play with, Cassandra. Not everyone is as gentle as myself."

Somehow the comment about the chill got some suspicion from Nicodemus, but not Cassandra, who just smiled guardedly and went about redressing, wrapping the scarf around her neck twice as though it would somehow provide 'extra' warmth to her to account for the cold pack.
She followed after the older hunter quietly, pausing at the doorway, holding the ice pack in both hands.
The advice was taken into very careful consideration. Certainly she hadn't asked Caelius to play, it had in fact been the other way around, but she certainly knew she needed to work on not being such..a victim for future use.
"Thank you for your advice, Doctor. And thank you for your time, I'll try to not be dropping in for a visit of this nature again soon." she bid before she stepped to leave, perhaps a bit more quickly than would have been deemed appropriate, but still, all politeness aside he hadn't been..horrible....
