Chioss escorts her to the bathroom and gives her a bath just like the one from yesterday. Shahn's already had his and Mikko's supervising him brushing his teeth. Mikko and Chioss make alarmed meaningful eye contact over Eefa's head. But the bath is totally normal.

Permalink

Eefa is on edge but does not resist.

Afterwards she inspects her skin.

Permalink

It is clean and wet and presently toweled off.

Permalink

And attached. Right. That's what she's checking for.

Permalink

Yup, it's attached in precisely the normal way.

Pajamas, bedtime.

Permalink

She is going to stay up waiting to see if anything happens at night this time. 

Permalink

Nope. Totally uneventful night. The oranges have their shift change. Shahn sleeps peacefully.

Permalink

Eventually, after a few hours of patient listening, Eefa allows herself to sleep. Lighter than she did the night before.

Permalink

The night continues totally uneventful. Chioss and Mikko are back the next morning.

Permalink

Eefa finds this very suspicious but can't figure out why.

(It is possible there is in fact no reason to find it suspicious. But she's a bit tense in case there is.)

 

Permalink

Chioss tentatively pokes her head in Eefa's door to check on her!

Permalink

Eefa stares at the Chioss head. Suspiciously. 

Permalink

"Hey there. The doctor rescheduled for today and will be here right after breakfast. Do you want breakfast right now or are you still waking up?"

Permalink

"... Food is good."

It's pretty much always good. Especially when her life seems as precarious as it does now.

Permalink

"It's flatbread this morning."

She can put any of three jam flavors or soft sweet cheese or chopped nuts in hers.

Permalink

Yes she will put those things on to her flatbread.

Permalink

Shahn rolls his up and so does Mikko but Chioss eats it balanced on all five fingers of one hand spread out flat.

Permalink

Eefa rolls hers.

Permalink

The doctor arrives before Shahn is done with his second flatbread. Mikko goes and gets the door. "Hello, doctor."

"Hello, Mikko," says the doctor. "This must be Eefa. Hello, Eefa." She's speaking in an almost exaggeratedly calm and telegraphed voice.

Permalink

THAT IS AN EXTREMLY SUSPICIOUS WAY TO SPEAK

Eefa hisses at the person who is very clearly about to do something bad and scary to her. 

Permalink

"You seem like you're nervous about seeing a doctor. Have you seen a doctor before?"

Permalink

"You sound like you're going to do something bad."

Eefa glances around the room for exits.

Permalink

"I don't want to do anything bad. I'm here to make sure you're healthy. Mikko told me that there might be something unusual about your teeth."

Permalink

Eefa glares. What does this person want with her teeth.

Permalink

"Sometimes, teeth can look different from ordinary teeth and still work fine. But sometimes, they have a problem which can get worse and make you have a hard time eating, or even sick in other parts of your body."
