Ifa flinches and looks over his shoulder. He's use to such mischievous behavior from patients and doesn't take it personally. He does, however, give the bard a sly smirk.
❝ You bored, miss? That's not how you get someone's attention, y'know. ❞ Ifa turns his journal so she may see his sketching, where the pencil in his hand had ran across the picture from his flinch.
Sneaks up and blows into their ear like a TOTAL JERK.
Treasure chest opened! Just kidding it's a mimicutie!
“Oh wow! No way bro!” Cacucu fluffs his feathers. Damn right he's a cutie!
wrioifa is a ship i never knew i needed lmfaaoo
❝ Yo! It's dangerous to go alone. Take Cacucu with you. ❞ Ifa totally means it and Cacucu flaps over, squawking a lets go bro.
Ifa has had a few patients who fear sitting on his examination table or fear his needles. He's cared for pediatric cases before, but this ... he blinks at the grown man with verdant eyes, taken back by his visceral reaction to Ifa drawing close for an examination.
Is this not a martial arts tournament? How can someone compete in a festival for violence and test of skill yet are afraid of treating physicians?
❝ Uh … ❞ Ifa sounds unsure. ❝ Would you like me to ? ❞
Ifa has no issue with counting down if that calms his patient. He rather insure the man is not facing a dire situation and needs more than simple topical cure for his gash. It doesn't matter the age or career of the patient. What matter is Ifa is taking care of them to the best of his ability. If he has to count, he'll count.
The cowboy's gloved hands take hold of the man's forearm again and he examines the gash, counting down out loud, and finding no discoloration to the skin aside for the abrasion. Ifa imagines a weapon with some kind of toxin to continue its sting and slow the inflicted is the likely cause, but nothing life threatening or incurable.
❝ No, all honored guests of the Xianzhou are cared for under Xianzhou hospitality and I'm paid by the commission to treat so ... no worries there, dude. ❞
Ifa prepared a tray to clean the wound and dress it ahead of time and he begins his wound care, looking up to the man with green eyes and explaining to him what he's doing currently, if that helps him to settle down as well. It doesn't take long and Ifa smiles when he finishes.
❝ There, all done. You did great. ❞ Ifa returns the tray to a countertop and brings back a small plate of freshly baked cookies. This was suppose to be his lunch with coffee, but he doesn't mind sharing.
❝ I don't have any lollipops, but I made these this morning. New recipe I'm trying too, so let me know how it taste. ❞
@ifadoc : ❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜ an assortment of dialogue prompts.
With some force, he yanks his arm out of the healer's grasp, whining for what is flimsy reasoning. ❝ Whoa, whoa, whoa, Doc ! Aren't you supposed to promise me like a lollipop or something then count down ? Tell me it's aaaallll gonna be fine ? ❞ Sampo has never been afraid of needles, has even found some pleasure in points much sharper, but given this new face, he can't help but mess around a little ( even if it paints him in a rather childish light. )
It detracts from the clamor the Fool had been pulled out of. Details under wraps but based on the sequence of events && his own stake in the game, Sampo can surmise that this is mostly related to the Elation's covert presence upon the ship. Those that didn't take to kindly to his existence had inflicted not just a gash in skin but some sort of sting. A poison or something like that, though he's sure it wouldn't actually kill him even if he hadn't been sat down by Ifa. However, it would've looked a lot more suspicious had he refused treatment.
After a drawn out sigh, he offers his arm back, nodding towards the syringe. ❝ How much is this going cost me ? ❞
how do you describe the feeling of missing a rp partner’s interpretation of a muse because if I go looking through the character’s tag … it’s not actually who I’m missing, like it’s not the same so all I can do is 🥺

Ifa watches how the outlander gently handles the baby saurian and he listens to how Kaeya speaks to the small Iktomisaurus with consideration and respect.
It pleasantly surprises the saurian vet and a small smile spreads across his dark features; Ifa knows an opportunity when he sees one.
The Tlalocan moves in closer, offering the saurian in Kaeya's arms the cracker and he draws the needle closer to the tiny Iktomisarus' thigh. Ifa pushes back the soft dew feathers of the baby dragon and with a quick yet steady focus he administers the intramuscular injection. The Iktomisarus flaps its small wings with sad little hoos and Ifa draws the syringe back. He raises his gloved hand to the Iktomisarus' head and soothes it with a light pet and gentle smile.
❝ There we go, all done. You're so good, little gal. ❞ Ifa discards the used syringe in it's proper sharps container and looks to Kaeya, easily impressed by how the calvary captain manages the baby saurian, but also … he talks funny.
“The heck are you on about, bro? Chill, bro.” Cacucu squawks out bluntly, flapping his little wings by Ifa's head.
❝ Yeah, man. You talk a'lotta game, but we're done yet. Think you can handle a few more. I owe you big time. ❞ Ifa chuckles with a small smile. He appreciates Kaeya's assistance.
' Aye aye, Mr.-Vet-Who-Dislikes-Fooling-Around. Fine, I'll help. But you seem to have the situation under control already, ' Kaeya exhales a sigh of fake exasperation, clearly unwilling to part with his very cute, very warm hat who seems to have taken an interest in him. In fact, while well-behaved, the other Iktomisaurus seem to have noticed him, eyeing him with questions in their big eyes. But it seems like the reward is delicious crackers to munch on, so they stay well in line.
The one in his arms, however, makes a small squeak of alarm at the sight of the syringe.
' Aaah, I get it. ' He's solemnly nodding at the poor baby as he presses in the blue-ish fur of his cape. ' I know, look at that. Seems like a big deal, eh? But it'll prickle for just a moment, our dear vet will make sure that it only stings for a very small time. And then... '
Ah, look at this. Mischief written all over his face as he looks at Ifa, the cavalry captain slowly carries the now-more-agreeable saurus towards the vaccination point.
' ...And then, you can start haggling on how many delicious crackers you want to keep your silence. Start with two and half, and make sure to get to five to really dig the point in that you can't be easily bribed. Or, well, you can be bribed... ' He stops for a moment, considering something inane. ' But master vet is exiting this deal dry. Oh yes, he is. '
It doesn't help that the little Iktomisaurus group are now looking directly at ifa. The babies are craving the honey-flavored sweets, bro.
Now... Ifa better keep an eye on Cacucu... (wrio leave ifa's buddy ALONE?)
❝ Hey now! When this turned into me being irresponsible? It ain't my fault Cacucu's part chicken an' flies off when he's scared. ❞ Ifa laughs, only kidding.
“No way, bro!” Cacucu huffs with a fluff of his feathers.
❝ Don't hafta' worry, bro … uh, Your Grace? I know he looks small an' dainty, but he's always got my back an' I got his. ❞ Ifa explains with a genuine, warm smile as he looks up at Cacucu.
The vet's gaze then looks to Wriothesley and Ifa senses something lingering in the warden's being, in his eyes of ice and Ifa understands; goodbyes are hard, but they are not the end of things.
❝ You ever in Natlan, make sure you drop us a visit in the Flower-Feather Clan. Cacucu took a shine to you also. ❞ Ifa smiles and Cacucu flutters his little wings with excitement, swooping side to the side in the air with glee.
“My little dude!”
