Aura didnt necessarily dislike doctors. She'd certainly been around them enough to lose the anxiety some people tended to get about going to see one. She was though fairly nervous about the reason she was going. Something definitely wasn't right- she didnt typically get sick. In fact as far as she knew she couldnt catch any diseases because her body burned them up. But somehow she was suffering headaches and nausea. Serious enough that she'd made an appointment with a doctor.

That the doctor specialized in lycanthropy too was no coincidence. Hopefully he would be able to help better because she was after all a werewolf... with a little extra. At least it couldnt hurt, and it wasnt like the doctors had an eldritch abomination expert just ready to go anyways. Ok, that might have been too much. She wasnt an abomination. She did feel guilty for not bringing Hella along for moral support, but she also didnt want to waste her time if it was something minor and stupid.

So Aura sat alone in the waiting room with her swirling thoughts after filling out the paperwork for the visit. Major symptoms: recurring and severe nausea to the point of vomiting and frequent headaches. Extremely uncomfortable. She let her hair sweep down in front of her eyes to hide herself a little bit as she tried not to panic.

"Aura Fynn?" a young nurse inquired as she approached the young woman with a welcoming smile, clipboard in hand with the forms Aura had just filled out.

"Doctor Wolfstein will see you now. If you could follow me, please?" she said as she led Aura down a short hall to a simply decorated but cheery examination room.

"You can have a seat, Aura," the nurse said amicably. "Doctor Wolfstein will be with you in a few minutes," she explained as she let her into the room where there was a window with blinds, two office chairs, an examination bed and a few simple medical instruments on a tray in the corner.

Aura swept her hair away from the one 'normal' eye and looked up at the nurse to give a simple "um, yes. Ok." In a quiet voice before following her back to the room. Despite the weather outside she was still wearing short sleeves and capri pants. The cold wasnt too much of a problem when you were always radiating heat.

Once at the room she shyly thanked the nurse and sat on the very edge of the exam bed.

About five minutes later, Doctor Vladimir Wolfstein gave a soft knock at the door and then, after a second or two, he let himself into the examination room where Aura was waiting.

"Aura Fynn? I am Doctor Wolfstein," he said as he introduced himself to the young woman before taking a seat and quickly scanning her chart.

"So... What can we do for you today?" Vladimir asked Aura. "I noticed in your chart that you've not been feeling well lately?"

Aura nervously sat on the edge of the exam bed, rubbing at her wrist. "Yes, I um. I have had a lot of stomach distress and headaches lately. But my doctors before told me... um, well i've never been sick. Not since I came here. My body is too warm for most um, viruses and things"

She forced herself to stop fidgeting and looked up to meet the doctor's eyes. This was clearly something serious in her mind. Her chart would have noted her extensive medical history on the islets, including her time spent slowly learning how to be a person again. But not a single mention of any illnesses. Indeed medications tended to have limited effect on her as well as her body regenerates/burns them away quite well. The chart does note that she arrived on MC suffering from a parasitic invasion of her body by some kind of eldritch entity, which apparently had gone dormant or become more controlled throughout her therapy.

As if to exemplify that last fact, several yellow eyes opened up on her neck as she looked at the doctor nervously.

"I see," Vladimir nodded as he listened attentively to the young woman in front of him, glancing again at her chart. He noticed there was a lot going on in her medical history. Although, if he were honest. there usually was with most patients that he saw.

"So you have not been sick at all once you arrived on Manta Carlos?" he stated just for clarification.

"Have you been to the space station in the last little while? Like in the last month or so?" he asked, wanting to rule out all possibilities before bringing up her arrival on the island and the eldritch parasite.

She thought for a moment to confirm it but then shook her head. "No I haven't gone to the space station at all. And I've never been sick. Well... not physically. I've had a lot of um, therapy." She looked down and squirmed a little as she sat there.

"Oh, um if it helps my diet hasn't changed so that's not what's causing the stomach stuff. I can still only eat raw meat." A second mouth opened up on her shoulder but she quickly flinched and covered it with a hand.

"Alright then, that was actually my next question," Vladimir grinned when Aura explained that her diet had not changed.

"Before we touch on anything else, has there been anything stressful going on in your life? Anything out of the ordinary lately that might be worrying you?" Dr. Wolfstein asked.

"Stress is often one of those factors that affects everyone - mortals and immortals alike and everything in between," he explained.

"I um, get stressed a lot. But nothing specifically recently. Aside from...," she paused and her face went bright pink from embarrassment as she removed her hand to show the extra mouth. Which had been accompanying her voice as she spoke, though muffled.

As Aura looked away in shame an eye opened up on the back of her hand to watch the doctor. "My um, extra parts have been more active. Ever since the um, long night thing I guess."

Vladimir hid his surprise well when Aura let him see her "extra parts". He had been aware that she had been affected by an Eldritch parasite, and that there was more to the shy young woman than met the eye. However, he had not expected that she had been affected this extensively.

"Your "extra parts", he began as he put her file aside. "How extensive is it?" he asked with gentle concern.

"Does it just affect your hands and face?"
