Chapter 71: Dash came dashing
Adikus looked at the man who stood in front of them. He was a short man, with a rather portly belly and curly black hair and bushy moustache.
"What in the blazes are you doing?" Azriel said with an annoyed voice, though a tremor could be detected. "Can't an old man get his rest? Do you have to cause trouble for me in the middle of the night?"
"It's not even eight."
"It is for me," said Azriel as he dismissively waved his hand. "Do you not see how old I am? I don't get paid enough to do an overnight shift."
Gina rolled her eyes. She glanced at Adikus before saying, "You have a patient, Azriel. He was sent to you by Master Godric." she added in a not-so-subtle voice.
Azriel narrowed his eyes as he looked at the dog beastman standing in front of him. After a long pause, he sighed as if the very thought of doing his job was tiring enough already.
"Come on in," he said.
And Adikus heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that he was going to be pushed out of this building as well but maybe —maybe they wouldn't need Damien's help at all.
"Lay him here," said Azriel as he pointed to one of the beds in the infirmary.
Adikus did as he told him and once he placed Sigurd on the bed, he stepped aside, leaving enough berth for Azriel to take a look at Sigurd's condition.
"Hmm," Azriel peered at the cut that was still bleeding. "What kind of weapon was used to make this cut?"
"It was a dagger," replied Adikus promptly.
"What kind of dagger, was it?" He asked sharply.
Gina turned to look at Dash who was flicking his spotted tail and blinked her eyes. She asked in a quiet voice, "You did not kidnap a man from his bedroom, did you?"
"What are you looking at me like that for!?" Dash asked with a tilt of his head. He looked at Gina as if she was being unreasonable. "You asked me to bring him here as quickly as possible, and I did just that—what's wrong with it?"
"I didn't ask ..." Gina raised her voice but closed her eyes and opened them a second later. She looked at the cheetah beastman and said to him, "I will deal with you later."
Dash who just did as he was told opened his mouth to object but Gina was already looking at Damien, "I am so sorry about this."
"It's alright but next time—I hope that they will just knock or something... for my own mental peace," Damien thought of how the mood in the bedroom had almost turned slutty.
Fortunately, he was still dressed when Dash had dashed inside or else he would be too traumatised to ever get it up again if he was brought to the guild in his birthday suit.
Though Damien did not clarify the situation by going deep in the details, Gina understood what he was trying to say, she flashed him an apologetic smile when Damien returned.
"And who are you?" Azriel asked while looking at Damien. His gaze was rude at best as for the rest Damien tried not to think about it, as he knew that he would be sure to get offended.
"Damien de Brsytoria," he introduced himself, with his hand outstretched in front of him. "I am a doctor who treats people."
"You mean to say healer?" Azriel corrected him having never heard of the word —Doctor before.
Damien smiled with a light shake of his head. He said, "No, a doctor. I treat patients without using magic spells."
Azriel looked at him for a whole minute and burst out laughing. "Haha, you do know how to make a man laugh boy! What do you mean by saying that you treat patients without using magic? How can that be even possible?"
But when Damien didnt go- sike, I gotcha conk— Azriel stopped laughing and stared at him, "You ..you are speaking the truth?"
"I am afraid so," Damien smiled dazzlingly. He walked inside the infirmary before pulling on his gloves, "Let me see the condition of the patient."
