Tuvos Jerusc went over his chart once more and glanced at the door in anticipation of his next appointment. Limino growled impatiently in the back of his mind, but Tuvus reminded his darker brother that the girl wasn’t late – yet. Not so easily pacified, Limino worried at the consequences of wasting their time like prayer beads. He remained silent though, as per their usual custom with first appointments. New Nakivaks were easily frightened, and Limino’s natural harshness would only scare them off. After so many decades, they knew what worked within their system.
He leaned casually against the white countertop, next to the bed on that side of the room. Both were empty for the moment, with clean sheets tucked in tight. His black leather shoes scraped loudly against the bare stone floor as he crossed his legs at the ankles. The tower was silent, any noise from the upper floors masked by the heavy stone floors.
A young Konti named Lyn’nice was their next appointment, one of the rare volunteers the Oathmaster saw. It was a good sign; after the disastrous affairs of last season, both Tuvos and Limino were afraid Nakivaks would be difficult to find. The Council would be addressing the issue later in the season at their annual meeting, though Limino seethed at the future of the program being discussed by the uneducated masses. Despite Nivar Chivan himself meeting with the Oathmaster to tell him Nakivaks would always be a part of the city, both halves of the Akalak in charge of the program were anxious what public debate would lead to for the program, and subsequently, the Akalak race.
Sighing, Tuvos put the thoughts away and focused on projecting a pleasant demeanor. First things first – this Konti needed examining to be sure she was in proper shape for bearing children. He’d made some risky calls in the past, all for the sake of just one more Akalak child, but in such unpopular times, any Nakivak that was not the picture of healthy motherhood would only stir more trouble. The notes from Malin at the Labor Aide included nothing regarding an unhealthy pallor though, so there was no reason to be pre-emptively worried on that front.
Outside the room in the entryway, and Akontak assistant nurse sat, filling out the tedious but necessary paperwork. When Lyn’nice came, she would be shown to the room and Tuvos would take it from there.
OOCFeel free to write the nurse greeting you and leading you into the room, and we can pick it up from there.
