And yet another one. The needles were being sterilized by hand from the doctor and Abri was humming under her breath. This time, it wasn't a child with an exoskeleton but instead a child with fur and flesh that was soft and pliable. Thick fur, maybe, depending, but her needles could reach through that.
She never bothered to read more then the basics of the children. What type of animal were they - mammal, sea creature, insect - and the gender. It was always far better to be surprised by the little hellions. This was number two. Number one went off without a hitch.
Let's hope for a second one.
All she had to do was wait. He would be there soon.

Fleur quietly opened the door and peeked inside nervously, his tail twitching. Chrysler had told him to "get his a** in there or she was going to burn his tail off", and since she was already in a bad mood about accidentally being sprayed that morning when she startled him outside, Fleur had decided he had best do what he was told until she calmed down.
He only wished he knew why he had to come in here.

She glanced up from her tools when she heard the door open. Eyebrows arched on that dark face, studying as the timid child moved inside. Well, well. This looked fun.
A skunk. Like Flower, from Bambi!
Abri liked the movie Bambi, a great deal.
So she smiled, head cocking to the side. "Hello there, dear. What's your name?" Abri moved over, closing the door gently behind the boy and she made her way over to the small table. It was given a fond pat, watching Fleur curiously.
"I'm Abri."

Fleur stayed by the door until it was closed, barring any escape, then meekly slinked to the table, guessing from the lady's gesture that he was supposed to sit there. "I'm F-Fleur..." he murmured after hopping onto the table, his ears drooped back from timidness as he peered around the room curiously. "U-Um...wh-what am I here for...?"

"You are here for a shot." Abri was trying to keep her voice gentle as she said this, moving back to her needles. "A shot that wont hurt and will keep you from getting sick. No one likes getting sick, right?"
A cheerful smile from her and she turns, facing the skunk. "I've had one and every kid has to get one too."

"A shot...?" Fleur repeated with a confused frown. "What's that? And how does it keep me from being sick...?" He blinked after Abri until he noticed something odd on the table, his blue eyes widening when he saw very sharp needles. Was that what she meant?

"A shot has to do with needles." She picked up one, demonstrating to him. "It doesn't hurt, really, and it has things inside that keeps your body healthy. Everyone has to take it."
Abri noticed his wide eyes and she smiled, her free hand moving to give his head a fond pat. "It's like vitamins that don't go away. All the older kids have had them."

"B-But needles are sharp!" Fleur protested. How could something that was sharp not hurt? The more he fretted over it, the less potent his perfume was becoming, and after a moment, a horrific stench surrounded him which only made his eyes widen further before he ducked his head and hid his face in his hands, absolutely ashamed of himself for spraying even if it was not on purpose.

"Yes. Needles are sharp, dear. That's how they get inside of you." She paused for a moment as her eyes watered a bit. The doctor moved over to grab her purse, shifting through for a tiny sampler of perfume. "Ah ha! And Patrick thinks I'm silly for carrying this about."
Abri chuckled, pausing for a moment before dabbing some under her nose. That worked well enough. She glances back at the other, head cocking to the side. "I've have shots too. I promise, I would not let myself hurt you. Shots save lives!"

Fleur peeked through his fingers, surprised Abri was not gagging the way everyone else did when he all-out sprayed like that. Maybe her nose did not work? He saw her eyes had watered a little, but that was still preferable to hacking and coughing the way Stevie and Chrysler did even when they were trying to hide their reaction.
Fleur finally lowered his hands after relaxing a little, his ears drooped uncertainly. He supposed it would not be so bad if even she had had shots before. "H-How many are there?" he asked, curious as to how many he was going to have to sit through without spraying again.

"Just one," Abri assured him, lips curling into a smile. He was a cute fluffy thing. Maybe not as odd and exotic as a few of the other children, but he looked to be a good boy. It was all alright. At least years being surrounded by wild animals and in a place where clean water was a treat kept her from being too overwhelmed by scents. "It's just one but it'll keep you healthy for a while now, so you won't have to worry about that."
Another smile, a little wider, and she moved over to take his arm. A little disinfectant on a cloth had found its way into her possesion and she turned his arm so she could start dabbing on the inside of his elbow. "I've had a lot of shots before. It sting a little but if you hold your breath or look away, you can pretend it's not even there. It should only be a little sore after, and we have colorful band-aides to help with that."

"O-Okay..." Fleur responded and took a deep breath like she suggested, determined to sit through this. One little sting could not be so horrible, could it? And her soothing tone and calm attitude was doing wonders to help him relax for the procedure, especially with how she was not offended at his spraying earlier.
