Whether they really were in Darrow for the long haul or it was just another temporary trick that the Island was playing on them, there were a few things that the city provided that Asher was taking full advantage of. Unfortunately for Daniel and Celia, today's thing happened to be proper health care.

The doctors on the Island did what they could with what they had, but none of that was the same as having an actual pediatrician with access to all that modern day medicine had to offer, not just what some stupid Island deemed okay to have.

There were shots, blood and now there were tears and a pair of dramatically quivering bottom lips. The lollipops and stickers each child had gotten hadn't seemed to pacify them any, and Asher didn't blame them. He would have been insulted if someone had offered him those things, too.

Ducking into a less crowded corridor, Asher let the twins get the crying out of their system. Walking down the street with two sobbing children would probably have drawn some unwanted attention, so he decided to avoid it altogether and let them have their meltdowns inside.

Hopefully it didn't take to long. The doctor's office smell really set his teeth on edge.

"You're a boy and my aunt Danica is a girl and she has teef that come down like this," Celia rambled, using both index fingers to mimic fangs against her mouth. "Daddy has them, too, but they're not scary."

It was a good thing Asher wasn't an operative or something. Celia would have just spilled everything to anyone who would listen.

"'m Celia."
Dr Danny Castellano: i'm like the only normal thing happening[personal profile] so_catholic on March 9th, 2015 01:52 am (UTC)
"Huh." Danny isn't sure what a normal reaction should be after hearing something like that. He does know, however, that it probably ought to be directed to the adult, rather than the child. "You some kind of fetishist?"

"Vampire," Asher said, not bothering with the detail that it was actually former vampire. Despite the fangs, he thought that much should have been obvious.
