Re: [In-person: PJ and Atticus and Matt]
[He nodded to the suggestion of the B&B. PJ might need care for the next few days or weeks, depending on how bad things got tonight, not that he was going to say so to her face. There was no reason to scare her going into this. Who knew what sort of effect state of mind might make on the change she was about to go through.
At least her shoulder was still where it ought to be. A dislocated shoulder would surely make things a lot more complicated in a few minutes. The gash wasn't ideal, but it was the broken bones that troubled him most, and the swelling. Might mean infection. Tomorrow, he was going to get her a course of antibiotics.] Might be some trouble. [About the broken bones, when she mentioned her friends not healing. He kept his voice neutral. Bedside manner had never really been a problem before - his patients couldn't speak English until today.] Can't splint them, since it won't stay. [It was frustrating. There was very little he could do that wouldn't break or reshape when she changed. Once that was over, he could tranq her and fix her up enough to last until morning.] Will bandage you up. [Firm.] Keep it loose, so it stays. Can tighten it up after you change, splint the hand when it's a paw.
Music. [He looked up at Atticus. He didn't know a lot of music, but something did come to mind, when he tried to think of calming, soothing stuff. His expression, briefly, animated, turned nimble and apologetic for an offbeat request.] Inkspots?
