beware! (There are
needles
in Chapter~)
"Now, we will also need to take some blood for testing."
She pulls out a small tray with several
color-topped tubes
with needles. Lavender, gold, and red.
Setting it on the counter, she glances back at me with an
assessing
look as I calmly shake my head.
"Have you ever had that done before?"
"No, I have not."
"Some of Dr. Lang’s patients prefer that she draws their blood instead. However, if you’re comfortable with it, I can perform this now so that your preliminary results may be available for her as you talk."
The way she phrases it suggests this is very routine. That
some patients
simply had some
understandable
preferences.
Without any real knowledge of ’why’ - just like with the
higher temperatures
. Just someone doing her job, without expressly questioning the
peculiarities
of certain patients that come through here.
Humans are
strange
. I’d be
too
curious

"You can do it now."
> I want to get all of this over with. Depends on if they knocked her out too quick for her to see anything? Yes, I wonder why she is told not to do this for our kind. A real mystery. I certainly would have done it to her, were our roles reversed. Then again... if I were her I would have let me sit on my lap. I suppose it is a good thing this one does not seem to have any purchases. I should refrain from downloading any that do... <
Resolving to
avoid them completely
, I start another ’run’.
