Chapter ❸ - Visit (rewritten)

Author's Note: I am so sorry for the delay. There really is no excuse for that.

Recommendation: iZombie (series) - unique

You do not need a key. There will be '(name), (colour)' and the like.

I have worked on some other projects. They are all from the same series and same organisation. Amelia and I have become a bit obsessed with these characters. There is even one cinnamon-bun woman, who she especially obsesses over. Amelia also done a lot of co-authoring for me and has produced most ideas and basic story lines for me, since my imagination just stooped over the last few months.

I would also love a request for a new book and I now, by the way, take one-shot requests. It does not matter whether they are real life or fiction. I shall try to produce something. If you have a request, please contact me through direct messages.

There is no need to fret; I do not bite.

Well, most of the times.

20th of January

It went on normal for the most part, except for the usual daily visit to the clinic.

Keros had healed well and gained some needed weight, but still struggled with the cretin of an assistant. Patty usually kept watch over Keros, who had taken up a place under the assistant's desk and would accompany her around the clinic at times. She even took him along on coffee and tea runs, and emergency food shopping.

She had finished school for the day and decided to visit the clinic to check up on Keros. She had a conversation with Sergiusz about their project and its grade along their shared way. Sergiusz had messed up bigtime on one part of the assignment, but they still received the second-best grade.

"Good afternoon, (name)." Patty greeted from her seat in the middle of the hallway. She seemed ready to sacrifice herself for the next, best ritual, no matter what cause it would serve. She blinked at the woman in front of her and gave Patty a hug after short contemplation.

She appreciated the gesture and she tickled her in return, until she received an accidental scratch from the girl. Patty pouted and pinched the girl's cheek. They stood up after a little fit of laughter and dusted themselves off. "I had to keep our mascot in check until now. I swear this cretin does all of it for her own amusement!" Patty complained and went on to pick up various files, which lay strewn across the floor.

She was quick to help, but their efforts were wasted just a minute later by the cretin herself.

She barged through one of the doors and ran the two over. She yelled something about cats, before she left through another door.

"You kid me, right? Why does Derek put up with her?" Patty exclaimed just as the man himself walked through the same door as the cretin before. He grinned at their misfortune and went to help them out after a bout of laughter. All the while, (name) merely blinked in utter confusion.

"She is an excellent surgical technician and she is serious throughout operations. She may be crazy rest of the time, but I would be a fool to let her go." Derek explained calmly and with a small smile, before he helped the two girls up and gave Patty, who merely nodded in acknowledgement, the files back.
