[OOM] Eiattu - Palace Infirmary

"This is painless, Princess," says the little doctor, hand on her hip. "I don't even need to touch you. Quit your complaining and roll up your tunic."

Half-reclining in the examination room, Plourr scowls up at the white-haired, ageless woman. "It's Empress," she complains, but she pushes her tunic up above her belly and leans back on her elbows.

"I delivered you twenty-two years ago," says Doctor Wilen matter-of-factly, flicking a switch on the machine beside the table. "You will always be a princess to me, Princess."

Plourr rolls her eyes but she falls silent and lets the doctor get to work, checking her blood pressure and her heart rate, among other things. She ignores the bustling woman and glances at Rial.

Rial cocks his head to one side, first slightly, and then slowly twisting his neck until his head is pretty much horizontal.

"I'm not sure," he says finally. "A leg? Or an arm with a really strange looking hand?"

Dr. Wilen snorts. "That, Your Majesties, is the umbilical cord. If you please...?"

Plourr makes a 'by your leave' sort of gesture, a bit sarcastically.

"I knew that."

(Still, despite the sarcasm, when she hops off the table in a while and Rial grabs her in a hug, she laughs and grabs back.)
