Kilbane strolls in from the Northeastern Caverns.
Hytiaf stands up a little more stretching as she does. She wrinkles her nose and yawns. Well, she looked like she was cleaning that lower shelf, but.. maybe she was sleeping too. She nods again and scratches her head. "Well then. I'll need you to disrobe. I have some infirmary robes over in that corner if you feel the need too. Also, Are you recovering from any illnesses, or, do you have any injuries I should know about?"
Serafa meanders into the infirmary, clearly looking for some mischief or something to do, peering round the corner she notices Hytiaf, and then she notices Yulianna. "Oh I can come back if you like?" She questions, cleaning the infirmary was far preferable to physicals anytime.
Kilbane rubs his hand vigorously over his head and scatters a few water droplets. His relaxing time in the water was cut short unfortunately. "Nope, I'm pretty much as healthy as a runnerbeast.." Is the reponse to Hytiaf. At the mention of robes, he walks over to their spot and plucks a top one from the pile. Sizing it up, he then decide's it'll do and exchanges his current attire for the drafty, but stylish, healer's garment.
Debajirin still has wet hair from his recent swimming venture, and some water had escaped his towel and is now soaking through his clothing in certain places. The towel is hung around his neck in the best way, his head actually stuck through the humongous hole in the center, which would probably explain why that hole is so big in the first place. He peers in at Hytiaf, and then the other candidates, and blinks. "Can, umm... I was sorta hoping for a physical type thing, I guess? Are there... Is it possible?" Lost for words today, it would seem. Maybe it's having overheard something about disrobing.
Yulianna looks surprised, "Disrobe? Oh! Ya' mean /strip/." she nods quickly, then shakes her head. "It's fine, I don't know why I'd need one. We're both girls." Er. Right. Who cares about the males in the room? "An' as far's I know I'm healthy...haven't felt sick, no scratches or bruises...well..." she hesitates, dropping to a cot and tugging off her boots, "There is /one/ thing that's been hurting a little..." Yuli speaking softly...now there's a pretty new one. She glances around, almost looking embarrassed, though obviously it's not about the order to 'disrobe' as her tunic is pulled off quickly and unabashedly.
Hytiaf wrinkles her nose and smiles a little bit at Yulianna's low modestly level. She ponders for a moment, her eyes going out of focus before looking up and smiling at Yuli. No.. She wasn't staring at her chest. "well then, why don't you take a seat here on the examination table and tell me a little more about your pain." She starts rubbing her listening tube to warm it up.
Shandria curtseys as she say "Hello, Apprentice Shandria," She walks behind Hyriaf..a silent observer.
Kerali hustles into the infirmary after having taken one too many turns. "Shard it if I practically stumbled into that weyr.." she mutters, more to herself than to anyone. Screeching to a halt, she nods at Hytiaf. "'lo there, Journeywoman Hytiaf!" With a grin, she echoes Shandria and curtseys as well. "Sr. HEaler Apprentice Kerali, at your service." Or torture, if you like.
Yulianna hops off the cot, wriggles out of her trousers--still no blush on /this/ girl's cheeks as she takes it off...takes it /all/ off--and pads over to sit on the examination table--and then hop off it immediately with a squeal. "It's /cooold/!" she sniffles, then settles more gingerly on it. Then back to the more serious business, "Well...about this pain, healer." she says, dropping her voice and scooting backwards on the table a little more.
Kerali whips her listening tube around her neck, and nods at the first vict--er, patient, Kilbane. "Hello there. My name's Kerali. If you don't mind, I'm going to assist Journeywoman Hytiaf and give you your physical for Search." Grin. Patting the cot, she smiles at him. "Hop up here, if you will?"
Li'l Lord listens closely. He is only a bit in a day old but is as inquisitive as his human/pet.
Hytiaf nods to Shandria and Kerali. "Ah.. you're here. YOu couldn't have had better timing. Kerali? that one over there.. his name is Kilbane. Can you give him a physical?" She smiles and nods to Shandria. "And.. how about I show you how to do one." She turns back to Yulianna, still speaking to Kerali briefly. "Well, Usually, at a hold or a hall, the patient will opt for a infirmary robe so they are not as cold or.. uncovered, but things are a bit 'freer' at a weyr." She nods, then looks to Yulianna, "Ahhh.. yes.. Would you happen to be hurting on your sides.. in about your stomache region?"
Serafa nods in greeting to the other healers entering looks like she has been inadvertently roped into the insanity that is search physicals. Choosing one of her peers at random she motions to Debajirin. "Candidate if you will, could you please undress and put on one of those robes that is in the corner and seat yourself on this cot here" Her smile is warm but detatched, behold Healer Serafa!
Kilbane eh's and turns around to Kerali. Where'd she come from? Removing his fliz from his shoulder, he goes on and hops right onto the cot. "Hey Doc. I'm Kilbane." Smirk. Clearly, this physical business has little effect on him. Just wait 'til he feels the cold hands though..
Debajirin tilts his head to Serafa. "Do I have to wear one of those robes?" A doubtful glance is cast towards the clothing. Kinda girly lookin'. "I mean, if you want me to, I'm okay with that, I'm just sayin' I have no problem otherwise... I don't want to be weird, but honestly... I've worn skirts and stuff enough for once candidacy." With this, he tugs off the towel, and then off comes the shirt. Sandals are soon removed, and he awaits her response in his shorts. His pretty, dye-streaked shorts.
Li'l Lord looks to his human/pet
Kerali grins rather sweetly at
Kilbane. Too sweetly. "If you will please remove all your
clothing." MWuuhaha. After all, they're all friends in
here, right? Heh. "Once you've done that, I'll begin the
physical, okay?" Yet another grin.
Shandria nods to her lizard as she reaches in her pouch and gives him a
meat strip treat.
"What ever is comfortable for you Debajirin, you can go naked for all I care just get yourself on that cot so I can get this thing over with" Serafa hisses under her breath so her mentor cant hear her. "The sooner we start the sooner it finishes" Really why a big hariy fisher man is scared of her she doesnt know.
Yulianna gives a little shake of her head, glancing around the room--and furtively at Debajirin--then leans toward Hytiaf, murmuring, "It's higher than that." Her feet swing lightly, hands gripping the edge of the table as she peers a little mournfully at the healer. "See...it's just started over the last couple of sevendays...and...well...it's still happening."
Li'l Lord chirps at all the people entering the room.
Debajirin nods to Serafa with a little grin, raising an eyebrow as the shorts come down next. "You don't /want/ to give a bunch of naked people physicals?" He'd be right in there, he's sure. And now for the undergarments and taa daa, it's Deba in all his glory, and acting all big and tuff and not going for a robe too. He hops to the cot, sitting easily, though not spreading his legs out as much as he often does. Wonder why? "Alright, so, what do we do first?" is asked cheerily to Serafa.
Hytiaf wrinkles her brow and tilts her head to one side. "Can you show me where on your body the pain is? IS there anything else accompanying this 'pain?'" Smiles a little then looks over to Shandria. "You have to fully discuss and diagnoss any sort of illness or pain that the patient might be having, because it can affect the rest of the physical."
Serafa smiles and appraises the fishrman much like a runner for a few moments, the twinkling of her eyes the only sign of her great amusement. "Very nice dear" she comments in a deflating tone, patting him on his shoulder. "Now I need to know whether or not you have been ill or had any injury recently, I especially will need to examine that eye of yours that you keep covered." Mainly because now she has seen /every/ thing else.
Yulianna nods and leans toward Hytiaf, clasping her hands over the center of her chest. "It hurts...here." she whispers, taking a deep, shuddering breath, and carefully keeping her eyes down-cast. Really, she may start laughing any minute here. "It's because...well...I don't know if I should say." she murmurs hesitantly, legs ceasing in their swing-kicking.
Kerali smiles sweetly at Kilbane. Too sweetly. "Well met Kilbane. Now, if you'll remove your robe please." Oh yes. These are candidates, if she's right. Must make things as uncomfortable as possible, right? Cough. "Once you've done so, I'll begin the exam, okay?" Rrrright...like he has a choice.
Hytiaf wrinkles her nose and eyes her evenly. "You had better say." She takes a deep breath and just waits. "And.. you better hurry. The infirmary isn't getting any warmer.. and you could turn blue." She continues to eye the candidate, waiting a responce. She's almost as quiet as Shandria.
Debajirin shrugs, only turning slightly
red at being inspected like this. Yes, he knows it's supposed to be
professional. He shrugs, collecting both rather hairy legs to the side
and pondering a moment. "Not ill, particularly. Had a bit of a cough a
while ago, but that was in winter when I started working on the ships,
and that left fairly soon..." And that eye.
"Okay, the eye's a long story, mainly me being lazy. Basically, got a
scratch from a wherry when I was a kid, kept it covered, and still do
cause now it gets tired quick." He tugs at the patch, wincing slightly
as some of his hair gets tugged in the process of removing the thing.
Kilbane nods quite happily, though he's never had a physical in his life 'for. Heck, he's never been in an Infirmary before either, but that's besides the point. "Do you like your job?" Interjects he brazenly to the young woman. Shyness has never been a major barrier for the young traveler.
Yulianna sniffles, just once, and very softly...and slowly raises her eyes (laughing eyes) to Hytiaf, "It's...because I met...someone..." and here she manages to raise her voice substantially, "...in a green mini-skirt. And...well...he's /soooo/ handsome!" And then the giggles come. Yes...she's laughing. At Debajirin. Again. And she continues to laugh for a good long moment, looking right at him.
Kerali lifts one eyebrow at Kilbane, and smiles. "Of course I do." Ask a simple question, get a simple answer. "Now...do y'have any wounds, scars or anything like that? How bout any illnesses recently?" She twirls her listening tube around as she waits for an answer. She still wears that sugary-sweet smile however. Be afraid, Candie...be very afraid.
Serafa flicks his chin briefly, they werw always so cute when they blushed. "Okay then I will take a listen to your chest first, then we will work on your eye, I want to give it some time to get used to the light." Stepping away for a moment she scrubs her arms with redwort and dry's them before selecting a listening tube from the pile. "Okay Debajirin, If you will just breath deeply for me, and I mean deeply, not heavily" There is a subtle and creepy difference tween the two.
Hytiaf raises an eyebrow and looks over at Debajirin to. Oh.. yes. That familiar redness enters her cheeks and her eyes get shifty. Sure, she keeps trying to look away... and eventually she suceeds. "well, then, Congradulations?" She wrinkles her nose and re-warms her listening tube. "The first thing we are going to do is listen to Yulianna's lungs and diaphram. You do so by standing behind the patient and having them breath deeply." She lays the listening end on Yuli's bare back. "Now.. please take 10 deep breaths.. then hold it."
Debajirin gapes at Yulianna, squaring himself to her (Faranth help us, there go the legs again) and putting his hand son his hips as best he can from his sitting position. "I quite liked that skirt, thank you /very/ much," he retorts, and then blushes at her. "Though I'll take it as a compliment." If she doesn't get flamed by the Healers, he might have to talk to her too. And he keeps peering at Yuli, though nodding to Serafa. And he's looking at Yuli's face! (Cue scary music). Alright, breathing deeply now. In. Out.
Shandria pulls on her lower lip and wonders what in the world has she gotten herself into. But she does love helping and continues to nod and listen. She holds her own listening tube in her hand.
Kilbane thinks hard for a moment, something that oftens end up resulting in a negative way. "Scars?" Looking over his body, "There was this one time when I was four and I stepped on a nail.. 'Course, cousin Doira pushed me, and claimed _I_ merely tripped.. but then again she always did have a lying tendancy.." He drones, ignoring the fact that there isn't even a scar and his tirade had no real value.
Yulianna would take deep breaths, really, if she wasn't doing her best impression of a dying wherry...but she hastily calms down and does her best to take ten long, deep breaths...and pretty much succeeds, if you ignore the occasional snort/chuckle. Folding her arms 'cross her chest and staring right back at Debajirin, she raises one eyebrow, and then finally, once she's done breathing, quips back, "Ya' never did let out that hem, ya' know." And she snorts again...and she's not neccesarily so polite as to stare him in the eye the whole time.
Kerali fixes Kilbane with the Look, which has faltered many a brave man before this Candidate. "Uh huh." Surrrre. Shaking her head amusedly, she pops the listening tube in her ears. Should she warm the end up or torture him with a cold listening tube? Hmm...decisions decisions. We shall see... "Now, I'm going to take a quick listen to your heart, 'kay?" Oooo...will she? won't she?
Kilbane debates if he should react to Kerali's minatory mien and finally decides that he would look better if he bit the bullet and dealt with her as any other obsticle. "Sure. I'd say take your pick, but there's only one to choose from, right?" Out pours his characteristic charismatic, yet foolish, comments. His ignorance has led him to believe that there is nothing to fear from pretty Healers.
Resigned to the uncontrollable hairy legs of her paitent Serafa steps closer in order to place the deftly warmed tube upon Jirins equally hairy chest, slipping slightly twixt the wayward legs. "While I am here I will listen to your heart as well." She mumbles, listening to the passage of breath and the thumping of his heart. "Well it sounds like that infection cleared up nicely by the sounds of things." She says and records it upon the hide marked 'Debajirin'
Debajirin is positively beaming at Yulianna by now, occasionally nodding at Serafa. "So, that's nice, then. Feln said he thought it'd go away, but he wasn't, nor is, exactly, an expert." Oh, would Serafa being between his legs mean that now there's a view blocked from the rest of the people in the room? Oh well. "So, Yulianna... Err... You healthy?" Wow, conversationalist at work. But meh. He's doing his best.
Kilbane folds his left leg over his right, and scratches his elbow. It's not everyday that you get nekkid in front of beautiful women who are examinining you, right? But he's well behaved. Obeying the Healer's orders, Kilbane takes the few deep breaths as if was going under-water. His flizzard watches curiously from a distance after informing his owner that he wants what he's getting. Sorry Cor, Kilbane's got this one to himself for now. To spice things up, he purposely coughs loudly. Poor Kerali.
Hytiaf extends one earpiece to Shandria so she can listen too, with out having to try and find the spot herself. "This is a healthy patient so far. her lungs are clear..." She moves the tube's end to the other side to listen to the other lung. "A poor lung weezes and scratches... sort of. you can also hear liquids if the patient has pnuemonia. Now.. if you place the tube here.." She places it on Yulianna's lower back and waits till Yuli holds her breath. "You can listen to her diaphram, the large muscle below the lungs that pushes the air in and out. if it rubs its not good. her's is good. You can breath now, Yulianna." She smiles walks around to Yulianna's front, probably obstructing Debajirin's view of her.
Yulianna breathes, again at Hytiaf's
direction, and blinks up at Debajirin's face, again (don't ask where
she was looking...she has a fascination with...calves!) and she nods
brightly, "Oh, sure. Except for the heartburn I got from
/you/." And she snorts, again. "All that laughin' put me
'off my feed' for a couple days." She snickers, loudly, and eyes
the older boy...definitely a challenge.
Serafa frowns at her paitent "Oi! no talking! I'm in the middle
of an examination. And I'm trying to listen to your chest"
Flicking the chest-hair randomly, she now listens exclusively to his
heart, moving the tube slightly she grins back up to him. "Well
now thats fine too. I think we will move to that eye of yours
now." She says as she places the tube on yet another tray and
selects a glow stick from the equipment.
Kerali barely flinches as Kilbane coughs while she listens. Instead, she tsk tsks softly, then *whacks* him on the back really hard. I mean, REALLY hard. "Oh dear, are you okay Kilbane?" WIcked, wicked gleam in her eyes, though her expression remains...neutral. "HEre...Let me thump your back again for that cough there." WHACK. Mwah. "Okay, everything sounds normal." Relatively speaking of course. Whipping hte tube around her neck, she smiles at him again. "Next, I'll be looking at your ears, eyes, and mouth, 'kay?" And he best behave else he's going to need more than a physical when she's through with him.
Shandria puts her ear to Hytiaf's tube listen closely to the young woman's lungs. She nods as she stands up straight again, having taken note of the Weyrhealers words. She smirks as Hyriaf obviously has firm control of the situation. Something she also takes notes of as she is sure to have some use for it in the future.
Debajirin hunches slightly in apology to Serafa, pressing his lips firmly together to communicate that he can't talk. For the time being. When she finishes her inspection, he nods. "Well, good to know that my heart's alright." He winks to Yuli (shards, he can actually /wink/ now without that blasted patch!) and adds, "Because it's a very strong heart, and I must say I've been using it quit a lot of late." There's just something about those younger women... "Alright, my eye is yours. Course y'know the other one'll be on her." He points across to Yuli, grinning monomaniacally at her and her alone.
Kilbane cringes at the 'crack' of Kerali's palm meeting bare flesh. "Yah.. she's cleared right up suddenly.." Wince. Craning his neck around, he tries to see if he can detect a red palm print on his tanned dorsal side. Momentarily deflated, he bides his time and watches Kerali for her next attack..
Kerali whips out the glowtube and thoughtfully thwacks it against her palm as she smirks at the candidate. Gone quiet now, has he? Heheh. NEver mess with a K-girl. "Okay. OPen your mouth and say ahhhh." Peeer...looks good to her. "Good. Now, I"m going to check your ears." Hmmm...yep, empty space, like she thought. Ah, well... "Looks good too. Now, going to shine this in your eyes. Pick a spot over my shoulder and look at it, please." She waves the glowlight at him.
Serafa takes the glowstick and once more approaches her hairy charge. "Okay Debajirin follow my instructions and well get this over in no time. I will need you to look first up, then down then from side to side." With stick in hand she motions to Jirin to continue as she watches his weak eye vigulantly.
Yulianna catches the wink. Oh, yes she does. And raises the other eyebrow. If she was a turn or two younger she'd have stuck her tongue out at him, but she's grown up, now. Heh heh. And grown-ups don't /do/ things like that. So instead...she...snickers, again...and then exclaims in a sing-song voice, "Oh, Debajirin, about that eye..." Twitch... "Wouldn't it look /so/ much better with a little make-up? You were going with me to pick out dresses for the masked ball, right?"
Kilbane mulls over the recent incidents and finally locks eyes with Kerali as she tries to complete her duty. "Can I look at these instead?" Urbane grin ensues the reply. Oh, he's a sly one. "The view isn't as nice over your shoulder.."
Debajirin nods slowly to Serafa, blinking the unused eye a few times, and then looking in the directions required of him. After the up and down, he pauses, blinking furiously once more, before doing the side to side, and then, instinctively, half-closes the eye once that's done. "Is that good enough?" He silently huzzahs for a distraction from Yulianna. "But of course! I don't know what you'll want, but I'll need something big and frilly... Pink, maybe, though I do have a thing for orange... And we'll see about makeup. But I'd hate to cover up my manly scar." And then back to the Healer/Candie. Only cause his eye is so 'important.' It'd take a lot to bring his attention off his current obsession, y'know.
Hytiaf blinks and plunges in anyway, whether Yulianna is paying attention or not. She wrinkles her nose and turns almost cheerfully to Shandria. "now, we are going to listen to her heartbeat. You place the listening tube like so, and listen. Your hear is center in your chest, but because it is tilted a little you can hear it better sometimes, from the left side." she nods and listens. "You want a clear beat. Miss, Yulianna, can you take a few more deep breaths?"
Serafa makes some more notes on her hide. "Debajirin? How much can you see with that eye? I mean is it clear enough? COuld you cover your good one and tell me what is on that shelf over younder?" She gestures with her free hand towards the far wall. "Just so we can find out the extent of its injuries"
Yulianna snorts at Debajirin's statement, and all but doubles over at his mention of the words 'frilly' and 'pink'. You'd never get her in those...not without a bit of a fight and the promise of better things to come! "Pink, aye, ya'd look gooood in that." Note the sarcasm. She pauses to take a couple of deep breaths for the healers, and then one more for good measure, before replying, "An' as for that 'manly' scar of yours..." Her eyes narrow and you'd swear she was about to tear into him...at least verbally, when she shrugs lightly and chuckles, a low, soft sound. "Aye, manly and rugged." Was that a...a compliment? Someone call the healer! Doh...nevermind.
Shandria She notes the correct positioning shown and then upon listening herself a dramatic smile floods her face. "ahh so much nice of a sound through thes tubes." She grins. "A heart to me is something to treasure" She smiles at the young girl sitting on the cot. She then takes a step back to where she was Observing.
Kerali simply stares at Kilbane. Then, the sugary sweet smile reappears. "Sure...in that case, why don't we move on to the hernia exam, and come back to the eye one later, eh?" With a deft movement, she drops the glowtube on the cot and reaches down to grab...well...let's just say Kilbane's in a pretty precarious position at the moment. "Now then. Kindly turn your head to the side and cough for me?" Mwuah. Let's see him be all suave outta this one.
Hytiaf nods, and smiles. "Next, we listen to the esophagus. we want to make sure the airway is clear and free. you listen for raspyness or other foreign noises." She nods slowly and places the tube on Yulianna's throat and hopes she is sensative enough to not talk while she's checking.
Debajirin shrugs, rubbing at the back of his head, and then at the eye, once more a bad habit emerging. "I can see... Well, I can see, and it's clear, it's just unused, and sorta out of practice... Like, there's no major fuzziness anymore, not since it's healed, which was quit a while ago, but as I never used it, sudden trips into depth perception are a bit nauseating at times." He obligingly covers the right eye (the good eye) with a hand, squinting a bit at the far wall. "Well, there are jars of stuff... Sorta leaves in one, and tree-bark looking things in another, and a jar that I /think/ says numbweed. Although whoever labelled it can't write all that good." Look at that scrawled handwriting. At least he's right in his guess of the writing. (I'm done with the rite sounds now.) "They should've printed the word. And-" a pause, "What looks sorta like... Bandages, or rolls of something." How'd he do?
Her breathing sounds...rough? Yes, Yuli's breathing sounds somewhat labored and definitely scratchy, until she sits back a little ways and coughs into her shoulder, grinning impishly at Hytiaf and then leaning forward and waiting 'til the healer is done listening. And, of course, if her compliments will be ignored...her eyes narrow on Debajirin and she murmurs, "Aye, ya' got it right. All but the little pot of green dye..." She pauses dramatically. "...With the mini-skirt in it.
N'ano stops short, completely startled at the giant crowd--at his second home. Oh dear. "Uh..." Yeah, he'll just blend in in the backround...
Kilbane shrugs docilely. Everything's just swimmingly with him. Not prepared for this hernia thing, well for one he has no idea what a hernia is, he gets punished for letting is guard down. "Whoa! Easy killer!" He directs suddenly towards Kerali. And cold hands too! Sheesh, he's not going to recommend _her_ anytime in the near future. "Shells woman, you don't waste time.."
Hytiaf raises an eyebrow and wrinkles her nose. "Umm.. Could you concentrate on breathing a bit." She sensed a bit of hormones in those last few breaths. She smiles at Shandria, then looks back at Yuli shaking her head and waiting.
Serafa grins up from her notes as she peeks over her shoulder to look at the described shelf, frowning slightly "Well yeah the apprentices need to be bought up on their writing again." She notes. "Very good, is it hurting any to use it? What I would suggest doing for a little while is perhaps to wear your patch on your good eye until it doesnt hurt to use your bad eye." Once she has cleared his eye to her satisfaction he make her way close to the fisherman once more. "I also need to check your nose throat and ears" She explains as she gently checks his ears and nose. "COuld you open you mouth wide for me please?" she asks, while writing her findings down once more
"Oh, I'm sorry...are my hands cold?" MWah. Teach this little man to mess with her. Kerali nods her head, satisfied, and grabs her glowtube once more. "Now then, back to the eye exam, shall we?" She twirls the glowtube casually, a smirk on her lips as she eyes Kilbane. "ANd remember, look /over/ my shoulder, okay?" There there...she has a sensitive side too as she pats his shoulder encouragingly.
Shandria stiffles giggles the best she can at the havak of the room. Her face is turning bright red as a couple of coughs excape her. "Hmm Did you say something Weyrhealer?" Her face gets redder and redder and hair begins to escape the leather thong holding them as she coughs some more, her face almost the color of the Red Star itself.
Debajirin turns his right eye to Yulianna, raising the left eyebrow at her, and tilting his head to the side. "What? You mean there's a mini skirt there?" His tone is one of genuine excitement and anticipation. "D'you think it's my size? That it could go with my manly, rugged scar?" He noticed. He was just busy with Serafa, that's all. "A bit. It sorta aches. Like your muscles after going for a run early in the morning cause a bronzerider thinks it's a good idea, and you haven't been running for a while. It's almost a good hurt, if it didn't hurt so bad. The patch over the other eye? I suppose, I could try... Oh, the headaches, though..." He sniffs, and grins over to Yuli again. "It hurts! Hold me!"
"The runnin'll all be good for you in the long run," N'ano states, giving Debajirin a little wave from his corner posting as he overhears his comment before stepping nearto Hyti, raising a brow "Busy, eh?"
Yulianna wriggles a little uncomfortably where she sits and...slowly...well, not really slowly, but quite decidedly, her face turns beet red. Yes. Yuli is blushing. All because of Hytiaf and her wonderful observations. The banter which quickly follows from Debajirin earns him a grim, gruesome and grisly scowel. Someone has mentioned her hormones. There will be great suffering in Guilder if she dies...or if anyone mentions her hormones, again. "My hormones are fine." she mutters under her breath. And Debajirin's plea goes pointedly ignored.
Kilbane nurses his man pride and rubs his arm thoughtfully. This is a most precarious position. Flicking his eyes towards the nearest exit, he obliges Kerali ruefully. The pat, however kind it's intentions may have been, is sore comfort. "You know, I've wound up with more injuries than I came in with!" Grumble.
Serafa squeals in irritation as her polite request is ignored in favour of flirting. Squishing Jirins cheeks she forcibly tears his gaze away from the trader-candidate. "Open your mouth when I ask you to matey" She hisses once more once his eyes are level with her own. "When you are in an infirmary, do not ever ignore the instructions of a healer" She nods at her fellow healer Kerali's words. "We are only trying to do our jobs. Please do not make it any harder on yourselves than it already is"
Hytiaf listens once more then puts her listening tube away. "We now check the ears.. the nostrils.. the eyes and the mouth. Why don't you do it. We are looking for redness/swelling or foreign objects in her ears and nose, clarity of lens on her eyes and redness/swelling in her throat. Oh.. and you actually have to smell her breath when you check her mouth." they had better not have been trying to sneak drinks before the physical. She then.. turns to N'ano for a moment, slipping her arms around him in an embrace. "Just a bit. This is Shandria. She's learning the fine art of physicals tonight."
"Ah, wise choice there, 'n learnin' from the best!" N'ano pronounces, leaning his head to give Hyti a peck on the forehead before he settles back behind her, watching the activity go on and trying to be the least bit of a disturbance.
Debajirin yelps as his cheeks are squooshed, /both/ eyes going wide, testament to his true alarm, and he starts muttering innocent little apologies here and there. "I'm sorry, I was just, I didn't mean, why are you calling me matey?" Wandering atention span. "Aah," is pronounced firmly, nearly defiantly, as possible as that is, as he opens his mouth for the healer. "Hhhowwy," is said, sorry rather hard to do when your mouth is open."
Kilbane eases onto his back after making a growly face, his chest rising faintly as he lies supine on the cot. "You have to admit though, it was fun huh?" C'mon, humor him. Throw him a bone, anything. "Shells, I'm going to start counting the days until my next physical.."
A good sense of humor, Kerali most certainly has. Eyeing the candidate, she shakes her head, amused. "Indeed. About as much fun as having my tooth pulled." Smirk. "Now. Lay back, relax. This won't hurt." She grins as she remembers to warm up her hands this time, then presses gently on various spots along his belly. "Any of this hurt at all?" Prod prod. Good thing the Healers don't have to worry 'bout prostate exams at this stage. Yipes.
Shandria beams at N'ano "A pleasure I am sure Dragonrider." She smiles and nods at all that Hytiaf has discribed taken note of all in a small notebooks. She picks up a glow stick and smiles gently at her patient. "This will only take a moment sweetie" She gently grabs her chin and turns her head each way looking closely in each ear. She then says "look over my shoulder" and proceded to check the eyes" She looks in the canidates mouth, taking a quick sniff as she does. "Looks fine to me" she to the Weyrhealer with a smile.
Yulianna holds perfectly still, looking as though Serafa's chastisement was meant for /her/ and not the fisherman-turned-con...er...candie. She sits perfectly still waiting for the new apprentice to do her job. If she's going to get in trouble, she sure doesn't want it to be by the Weyrhealer--with a rider standing right there! 'Cause dragons are carnivores. And you taste good with ketchup.
Serafa uses her stick to examine his mouth thoroughly, sniffing tentatively, before she to gives it her seal of approval. "Now I hafta do this so dont think its a come on or anything." SHe grins her brown eyes once more afire with thier twinkle. One delicate little hand snaking down...grasping her target gently. "Cough for me please Debajirin, and remember no lapses in concentration now"
Kilbane pays attention and gives the occasional 'no', 'nope' and 'nadda' as Kerali does her thing. At least she didn't whip out the probes. "You know you liked it, give it up!" Poke. "I bet you're counting the days too. In fact I have a feeling that you might just call me back in for a re-do.." Wink. About the prostate thing.. no comment.
Debajirin is already coughing before instructed. Having a target grasped gently can do that when you're too busy flirting with the other patient to realize what's supposed to be happening next. "As if I could lapse in concentration," he mutters before coughing on purpose this time, though a 'oh my' look is sent to Yulianna.
Kerali jumps slightly as she's poked by her patient. "Hey!" She swats at his hand, and glares at him. "If anyone's going to do the poking 'round here, it's me, since I'm the Healer." She pokes him back, right in the belly button. "One final thing and we're done." Thank Faranth. "Go ahead and sit up so I can check you're reflexes, 'kay?" Reaching into her pocket , she pulls out a rubbery looking mallet. Oooo...hitting tool. Could be useful.
Hytiaf nods to Shandria, then pulls out her mallet. "Now, we'll check reflexes. Please.. always remember to never stand infront of the patient's leg while checking." She smiles a little. Sure, no one was that dumb... "And, before I let you just go whacking patients, you can practice on your own limbs." Hyti taps the mallet below both of Yuli's kneecaps watching the classic jerk reaction. "Now.. please layback and we'll check your stomache region for abnormalities."
Serafa tightens her grip as she senses her paitents inattention. "Jirin, I dont think you are" She mutters but lets it drop as she searches for a spare mallet, this one is destined for his hairy legs, but she doesnt announce it happy for now to let him think the worst. "We are nearly finished now dear"
Shandria hops up on a spare cot and pulls a small rubber mallet from her pouch. She practices hitting her own knees while Hytiaf does Yuli. She jumps back down and walks over to the bed to watch Hytiaf. "ahh" gently escapes her lips as she sees exactly how it is done by a professsional.
Debajirin gives a little eep to Serafa, and then an apologetic and sulking blink of large puppy eyes. Two of 'em now. "Sorry, again, and..." He eyes her search for the mallet doubtfully. "So what's this for, exactly?" A peek is sent towards Yulianna. What are they using the mallet on her for now? Maybe it'll be the same for him. Though she /is/ a girl and he's not and gender differentiation can be evil.
Yulianna leans back on the table--and wiggles around so she's laying on it like a /normal/ person would...long ways. This is always the bad part...where they try and tickle you. Well, Yuli's stomach is like a rock! Er...muscle-wise. "Just...let me know before you...well...do anything...um...wierd?" Not that she's /had/ anyone do anything wierd, but she's also never been felt around on by anyone, either.
Kerali sighs, shaking her head at the rapid departure of Kilbane. "Shards, looks like another one's been scared off." Wicked grin. She tucks the mallet back into her pocket and turns to watch the rest of the rather...interesting...going-ons. Nodding to Hytiaf and N'ano, she chuckles. "Didn't realize what characters you guys had for Candidates up here at the Weyr." Idly, she fiddles with the end of her listening tube.
"Now I am going to test your pain tolerance..." A very wicked grin spreading across the healerites features, beofre Serafa breaks inot a massive giggling fit. "Seriously I need to check your reflexes I will tap you knee gently and we will see what the reaction is" SHe says after finally regaining her composure. "Yeah we are arent we?, I bet you by the time those eggies hatch even the dragonets will run away screaming" SHe teases the Healer-girl Kerali.
Hytiaf nods.. and walks over to Yuli's side. "can you rest on your elbows?" She waits till Yuli does so, then light prods her stomache region. then, she steps over to the sink. "Now, I'm going to scrub my hands and arms good and hard all the way up to my elbows. then, I'll rub in some redwort to sterilize myself. then, we'll check for pregnancy." She nods and heads over to Yuli's.. feet. "Can you put your feet up on the corners of the table and slide back this way?" Beep.. beepp.. beep. She's moving back.
Yulianna's eyes go wide...really wide. Like, twice as wide as they've ever gone before, and she slowly nods. "O--okay." Of course, she doesn't sound very sure about this. This whole thing smells kinda fishy--or maybe that's just Debajirin. In any case, she complies, and of course ends up in the 'labor' position. "Um...like...like this?" She's not nervous, nooo.
Debajirin wishes sometimes that he was a cartoon character. Cause then it wouldn't hurt when his eyes try and bug out of his head like they're doing now. And when the healer starts giggling, well, he certainly glares. "Funny. So, only the knees?" Don't take advantage of the scared little naked boy. He looks over to Yulianna again, and then, as politely as he can, jerks his head awaaay. Alrighty then. "So, hit my knees then, I'm ready. Relaxed." Not looking at the labour position.
Shandria raises an eyebrow and then stands behind Hytiaf, looking over her shoulder. She give the Yuliana a smile of support cause the girl looks..quite frankly scared. "You'll be just fine Yuli. The more you relax the easier it will be. Take a deep breath." she nods as she sees her doing this.
Kerali lets a laugh escape at Serafa's comment. "Indeed, Serafa." She waves at Ilara, happy to see her herder friend from the Hold. "Ilara-dear!! Good to see you again!" She rushes over to the girl and gives her a hug. "Shards, girl...you're looking quite well for living among these characters!" Grinning, she hugs the girl again. "So, how goes life as a Candie?"
Hytiaf nods to Yulianna .. and is luckily blocking any sort of.. 'view' Debajirin had. SHe leans over and well, .. Checks. "We're looking for a mucus plug. As you can see," Prod.. gently ofcourse "we can even see that Yulianna has.." She lower her voice so only Shandria can hear. "Has not even been with a guy yet. That.. is the proof." point. Hyti stands back up and pulls away, going to wash her hands again. Yup.. well.. " there.. You can dress now, and I'll get you and Debajirin your contraceptives."
Serafa nods still chuckling. "You must be super dim, I mean I have asked you to pay attention and all you do is watch Yuli...." She mutters as she taps each knee gently, writing the results of this final test down she continues. "You can go now" Clearly a dismissal, although she is supposed to tell him that he needs to dress first. Rolling her eyes she mutters to herself "Never again...Men"
Debajirin nods blankly to Serafa, then turns to her. "What'd you say?" Sorry, he was busy. "Oh, I can go? Alright then." His name is caught, and he turns towards Hytiaf, hopping off the table in all his divine nakedness and truthfully forgetting he's got no clothes on as he starts heading towards Yulianna and Hytiaf and the promise of contraceptives.
Yulianna hurries back into a sitting position, face a lovely shade just perfect for matching a /redfruit/. She sits, sort of huddled over into herself for a long moment, and then blinks up to see Naked-Debajirin heading for her! Eep! In less than a heartbeat she's on the other side of the room grabbing all her clothing and flopping on a cot, tugging her tunic on and then scrambling to get into her pants as she asks, "Contra-what's? What is it?" Please tell me her it doesn't involve poking around /there/ any more!
Hytiaf dries her hands then turns towards the candidates with a vile of something nasty in each hand. the first.. the 'red stuff' is presented to Debajirin. the second.. a disgusting green stuff is presented to Yulianna. Hyti just waits for the candidates to take them.
Debajirin casts a wondering eye at Yulianna's sudden run for the other side of the room, and then blinks down at his attire, or lack thereof. He's gotten red too, quite suddenly, face at least matching his hair and ears a little darker still. He dives (quite literally) for that towel, wrapping it about his waist, and making sure that huge hole in the middle is on the side, not front or back. And then, towel secured, he takes the red stuff and eyes at it. "Err... So we... Eat it, or stick it somewhere, or what?"
Frowning the Healerite watches Jirin walk away with fascination, her little mind working overtime behind her klah-brown eyes, smacking her forehead moments after she calls Debajirin back to her. "Um Jirin?" Serafa questions and see's him take the vile vial. Relaxing against the cot she smiles. "But wait there is no more!"
Hytiaf eyes Debajirin.. then shakes her head. "You both drink them as quickly as possible. No spitting it out.. and then you are released."
Yulianna accepts her little glass thingummy and peers down at it, sniffing and making a face. "Just what is it? An'..." as much as she'd hate to agree with Debajirin at the moment, she adds, "...what /do/ we do with it?" Certainly nobody would ever consider ingesting such doubtfull foodstuffs.
Debajirin cocks an eyebrow at Hytiaf. "That bed, eh?" He sniffs at the stuff, and shudders, more from the description than anything, though nothing else is really encouraging him to down it. But then again, if he's manly enough to have a physical without a robe, sure he can drink this. He raises his vile vial to Yulianna in a toast, and then tilts his head back, and the stuff down his throught, face immediately paling as he attempts to swallow. Months of working with Feln pay off, and he manages not to gag at a disgusting thing, only cough terribly after it's over. "How long does this last? We're not gonna need more are we?" he gets out between hacks.
Hytiaf raises an eyebrow. "A contraceptive is soemthing that keeps you from getting pregnant, and.. you, from getting someone pregnant." She nods to Debajirin. "YOu dose, my dear sir, will last you a week. Yours, Yulianna, will last you a month. Please come back and get more when its time. Bottoms up.. drink it quickly, Yuliana, before you lose your nerve."
Yulianna watches Debajirin down his stuff, then peers dubiously down at her own vial. "Umm..." She blinks up at Hytiaf at the explanation, and slowly...ever so slowly...her eyes light up. And she grins. "Really? It will?" Oh, goodygoodygoodygoodygoodygoodygoody! She tosses the stuff down, swallows and--holds the little tube toward Hytiaf. "Can I get another? Ya' know...just for good measure an' all." No coughing. No hacking. She's fine. Really.
Hytiaf shakes her head. "All you need..is once a month.. Ok? Now go ahead and get out of here.. ok?"
Debajirin stares in disbelief at the Weyrhealer. "A week? Are you serious? I can't take another one of these for at least a month, I doubt... I'm not that strong yet. And I'm scared. I'm a wee little candidate, and I'm afraid, and I don't want to have to do this and I'll see you in seven days." He can talk himself out of anything. He turns to Yulianna and blinks. "Another? What for, exactly?" A smile tugs at the corners of his mouth.
Kerali gathers up her Healer things and turns on one heel to nod at Hytiaf. "Need anything else from me, Journeyman?" She grins...this was a rather...interesting...physicals appointment. "Oh, and if y'ever need anymore help with the physicals, just send a flit for me." Nod. "If not, I have your leave to head back to the HOld?"
Hytiaf raises an eyebrow at Kerali. "Oh.. now I thought you'd be staying with us for the duration of the Search. Its much more convient to have you hear.. rather than continually sending dragon for you."
Yulianna actually looks disappointed. "Ya' mean, I /can't/ have another one for a month?" She heaves a resigned sigh then turns to glare at Debajirin. "Yer /scared/?" She balls one hand into a fist and aims a punch--albeit a light one, more teasing than anything--at his stomach. "I think that skirt's gettin' to ya' too much. Come out in the bowl an' I'll teach ya' how to act like a /real/ man." All said in a gruff growl that only Yuli could affect...well, Yuli and any other sailor with a bit of gusto.
Kerali blinks, then shrugs. "Well, sure, if you like. Wasn't aware you'd need me for the entire thing." She grins a bit...more Candies to torture. "I'm sure my mentor won't mind, considering the Search and all." Grin. "Where can I stay while I'm here?"
Shandria ahems from the cot she is sitting on. "I do believe I have to go back though. Is there any dragons to spare?" she asks with a hopeful look in her eyes. Will she get the privalege of riding a dragon again? Who knows!
An interested "Oh, will you now?" comes from Debajirin as he makes a big show of doubling over to her punch. "But the skirt was nice, you have to admit, right? It was quite fashionable, I'm told. Even if it was the wrong colour." And then he grins, despite anything tact might say. "So why is it you're after that contraceptive? You can't actually like the taste?"
Hytiaf grins and points to the apprentice dorms. " There.. I have a few cots still available. If any of the other apprentices give you trouble, let me know. I'll have them scrubbing more in the infirmary than all the candidates do during their entire candidacy." She smiles at Yuli. "No.. just comeback after your monthly cycle.. and I'll give you another dose." then.. to Shandria. "OH.. Sure.. just ask the watchrider on duty. He'll know who's available."
Yulianna sticks her nose up in the air--she's not that well trained in the art of subtlety, either--and folds her arms over her chest, heading for the door. "Why wouldn't I want it? I'm a busy girl. Don't want to get thrown off my cycle again after /this/ one's over with." Yes, she knows perfectly well what she's talking about.../trading/!
