Fair, little hands clung around the edge of the seat, her wavy, blonde locks swirling around her face and down her shoulders. "Really scared." She mumbled, her lips pulling into a frown.
"You'll be fine, Florence, Cherie. " Her voice was rough, whispered quietly, as if she was ashamed of having to comfort the young girl. Her hand came up, flattening down her crazed hair - or, atleast attempting to. A tight, pulled smile graced her red-painted lips; a sight that made Florence's gut tighten, something she had seen too many times before. So, Flora nodded, accepting the fruitless comfort and turning away.
Flora never liked hospitals, despite spending almost every day there, she always threw a tantrum before her mother stuffed her into the carseat. She hated everything about them; the smell of medicine and chemicals, the depressed souls weeping in the waiting room and the genuine aura of heartbreak and loss that surrounded her every time she went. It was a place you when to say goodbye, hear bad news or die. And she didn't want any of those happening to her.

The door opened, revealing a tanned, brunette woman in pale pink scrubs and a colourful overcoat. Her hair was curly, a ball-point pen in her mouth as she looked down at the clipboard in her hands. "Florence Auclair?" She called out, scanning around the waiting room - that's when she spotted the shy, pouting six year old swinging her legs above the ground.
Ashlynn smiled over at the doctor, standing up and grabbing Flora's hand, helping her hop off the chair. She didn't exactly need the help, but she was pretty short for her age. That, and her mother was intensely overprotective of her. Flora kept her hand wrapped tight around Ashlynns as she pulled her towards the kind lady awaiting them.
