An unknown dragon doctor

From Create Your Own Story

A rather well-built dragon stands over you with a stethoscope to your heart, listening to your steady beat. However looking at his defined jaw, piercing green eyes and rich burnt umber scales contrasting with stark, white hair makes your heart beat just that little bit faster, to which he raises an eyebrow at you, removing the stethoscope.

"It's good to see you awake, i was worried you may have slipped into a comatose state, please look into my eyes for me"

You obey his rich, deep voice almost drone like, staring deeper into those emerald orbs, your head is still reeling from injury and you don't have the mental fortitude to refuse cooperation at the moment. he takes your jaw in hand, his scales rough but warm to the touch as he guides your face with care to face his, pulling a small torch from his pocket and shining it into your eyes.

"Pupil contraction and dilation is a little slower than normal, possible head injury but nothing that can't be fixed"

He pockets the torch and releases your jaw from his dainty grip, taking a pencil and jotting a few notes on a clipboard.

"I have no doubt you are in a state of confusion and disarray, do not fear, it is normal in patients who have experienced periods of unconsciousness, you are in a hospital, you were found with several injuries, most of which were treated on site, notably a deep incision in your foot. Your personal belongings have been kept safe by hospital staff and are available for requisition as necessary, your next of kin has been notified of your current condition and is awaiting outside, however i must perform a few more examinations to confirm you have not sustained any sub-dermal injuries and until i am finished, visitors will have to wait. Is there anything else you wish to know?"

you stare at him dumbly, his method of speech is unnervingly precise and concise.

"Ah yes, of course, i am Doctor Therim, and will be overseeing your recovery, excuse my lack of formalities"

He holds his hand out to you while 'trying?' his best to smile, which makes you even more uncomfortable than when he didn't. You shake his hand though, to which his smile softens into something a little more natural.

"You have no need to introduce yourself, i have already read a report on you, and with introductions out of the way we can..."

The doors to the room open as your older brother Richard bursts in, tears streaming down his face from his amber eyes.

"Oh dear god, you're awake, i was so worried about you"

Richard practically leaps on you, holding you close in his strong arms and crying, you face smothered by his mane, his tears and snot seeping into your fur, Dr Therim steps back, clearly uncomfortable and blushing slightly as his wings circle around him defensively. A few moments pass as your brother's sobs soften into whimpers, Dr Therim hands Richard a few tissues to clean himself and the damp patch on your fur with.

"If there are no more, 'untoward' displays of affection, i ask that your brother please wait outside while we continue examinations"

"No way, I'm staying with him until he gets better, he's the only family i have left and I'm making sure he's alright"

They both look to you to break the obvious dilemma:
