Cleaning up old wounds .

Pov 3 person

In between the time Ozpin dealt with the mess left on the street by Lappland , Dr. Linzi dealt with the mess left by Lappland on Blake's body . Holding the hand deeply wounded by Lappland's bite , Dr. Linzi carefully inspected the wound again .

Blake : " I ... Sorry.... for wasting your time doctor . You probably had many patients in greater need than I . "

Said awkwardly Blake sitting on the bed next to the doctor . Apparently this apology was to cope with the strange atmosphere and silence , in which you could clearly hear the rain outside the window and the splashing of water in the bathroom .

Dr. Linzi : " I won't fix it in one go . Today I will deal with the nerves and muscles because they are the most important in a functioning hand . The bones are not broken only slightly cracked so we can leave them that way . Your natural regeneration should handle it by itself . As for the skin on your hand ... Most likely there will be a scar left . Of course with my sembelance after a few days of therapy , I should be able to make the scars disappear . "

Said Dr. Linzi ignoring Blake , who only nodded .

Dr. Linzi : " I will clean the wound first . But even with the anesthesia that I took with me , it will not be a painless process . So we can do it in two ways . You clench your teeth or bite the pain with a pillow . "

Said Dr . Linzi lifting her gaze from the wound to Blake's concerned face . And overtly this concern was not related to what Dr. Linzi had just said . Doctor knew it . The hand she held did not even twitch . Instead Blake's eyes moved from Dr. Linzi's face to the bathroom . Signaling that the person there , is what Blake is worried about . Dr Linzi also knew that it was a worry not because of fear of that's person but a worry about that person health .

Dr. Linzi as unusual as this reaction was , decided to cast it to the back of her mind for now , to focus on the wound . Nevertheless, her mind could not help but think about this . The whole situation with Blake was strange in Dr. Linzi's mind . Yes she expected that Lappland in the state she left her office was certainly not the most emotionally stable . Dr .Linzi also expected that a few foolish people , might regret messing with Lappland in such a state . However , she also knew that most people had the sense not to accost , an overtly dangerous and psychotic girl . At least that was the logical assumption .

Unfortunately Linzi was again disappointed that there would be such fools . As to where she got the confidence that Lappland didn't start it herself .... Psychology ... Dr. Linzi thanks to basic psychology and knowledge of Lappland knew that the wolf girl at the time of leaving her office , was not in the mood to do idiotic things . Lappland left rather thoughtful . Which was quite normal in the situation she was in , many patients receiving bad news need time to think.

Besides, Dr. Linzi knows Lappland enough to know that the white wolf is a rather discreet person when it comes to walking in open , public spaces . Well at least when she is not carried away by her emotions or she is aware of what she is doing . The point is that Lappland will not start a random massacre in the city , at least not until someone overflows the broken glass that her minde is . Hence her certainty that if something happened , it happened because someone pressed Lappland where it shouldn't be done or directly attacked her .

Nevertheless , Linzi as Lappland's doctor , knew that what happened here was unusual . Up to that point, Lappland had never attacked Blake . Blake , Sienna and Kali were in Dr. Linzi's eyes the only people that Lappland would never be able to hurt . Even in her anger and rage , Lappland apart from screaming and showing anger , never showed aggression towards the three women , not even mentioning making any physical moves on them . The obvious reason for today's behavior could be the information that fell on Lappland today .

However , from knowing Lappland's behavior , Dr. Linzi knows that even that would not have caused such a reaction in the wolf girl . Of course the doctor Linzi already had her theories as to why things might have changed today . From the crystal building up in the head of the wolf girl , to hormonal changes or a combination of the above with stress .

Looking at the slowly forming bruises on Blake's neck , Dr. Linzi openly recognized this as an " attempt " to strangle . However , it is obvious that Lappland held back , which means that Lappland did not want to kill Blake , or rather subconsciously refrained from doing so .

Docktor Linzi knows the capabilities of Lappland . This petite wolf girl from a child was able to bite Blakes father until he blood . An adult, muscular man, a faunus with thick muscles and thick skin, a hunter, was not able to protect himself from Lappland. Doctor Linzi knows that Lappland has the strength to bite off Blake's hand and break her neck like a twig . If Lappland really wanted Blake's death , the doctor could only bring the body bag .

Although Lappland's restraint shows that it was not a complete psychosis , the very fact that Lappland attacked Blake means Blake is no longer as safe as she was with Lappland before . Besides this told Doktor Linzi a lot about the emotional discharge that took place in the room . Of course if it had been a stranger Doctor Linzi would not have interfered , at most she would have called the police to deal with it . However, in this case, the issue was the safety of Blake and Lappland .

In this case Dr. Linzi knows that she has to intervene to some extent . Lappland is her long-time patient . And Blake is the daughter of the person who helped her set up the clinic in Vale . Of course it's not just that . Over the years of treating Lappland , Doctor Linzi willingly or unwillingly was also Blake's doctor . Although she did not treat Blake very often , the very fact that Blake went everywhere with Lappland makes her know both girls quite well .

Although , being honest this was more about Lappland's mental health than Blake's safety . Knowing the mental state of Lappland , Linzi is worried , or rather , she is sure that today's events will have a negative impact on Lappland . After all , the mental state and well-being of the patient has a great impact on health and the treatment process . Lappland mental breakdown or stress is something that can literally kill her now .

In addition, taking care about the mental state of Lappland, will also secure Blake . In short, the key to resolving such a situation and making sure it doesn't happen again , is to find out what caused Lappland to lose control of herself .To understand what happened, however, Dr. Linzi must interview Blake and, if possible, Lappland.

Dr Linzi : " Don't worry about my patients . At this time of day I finish work anyway . Besides , with the weather like this I doubt too many people would show up for a routine checkup anyway . Well, except for emergencies .... However , I will leave those to the people on the night shift . "

Said Dr. Linzi reassuring Blake , while laying the foundation for the conversation that Dr. Linzi decided to start .

Dr. Linzi : " I know it is not my business but Lappland is my patient . Admittedly I am not her psychologist , but this situation is quite disturbing . Therefore I have a question about it . How did this situation actually come about ? "

Asks doctorl Linzi making Blake froze . Upon hearing this question , Blake's cat ears drooped , and her eyes , despite the fact that her face was facing the doctor , openly avoided eye contact . This behavior after analyzing it in her head , gave Dr Linzi an overt sign of stress and an overt attempt to avoid the subject .

Doctor Linzi : " Of course if you don't want to talk about it then you don't have to , I'm only asking because of the possible mental deterioration in Lappland ."

Said Dr. Linzi , making Blake swallow her saliva . In Dr. Linzi's observation , such a level of stress signaled that Blake herself is much more involved in this case than she may seem . But beyond the audible swallow , Blake's eyes ran around the room , her uncertainty was quite clear betraying Dr. Linzi's signals of guilt .

At this point , Dr. Linzi already had an inkling that the provocateur of the situation may not have been just Lappland herself . Dr. Linzi already had her guesses , the situation shown today could be signals of long unresolved conflicts and flustrations , perhaps reaching deep into the unusual relationship between Blake and Lappland . However, Dr. Linzi did not press for information to be extracted, doing such a thing could only confuse or worse shut Blake up . That's why Dr. Linzi went into this case from the side , citing her worry about Lappland's mental health as a lever to open up Blake . Which worked when Blake bit her lip and sighed .

Blake : " I doubt Lappland would want to hear about it again .... "

Said Blake looking Dr. Linzi in the eyes . The woman understood Blake's worry , after all Lappland certainly heard them both . And well she was right when a single , white and black at the tip , wolf's ear twitched in the other room . The single silver-blue eye belonging to the same individual , after hearing the discussion in the other room , narrowed when the black pupil took the shape of a reptile's pupil .

Dr. Linzi : " In that case , if I invited you to my office , there would be no problem to talk ? "

Asks Dr . Linzi , while opening her bag of medical supplies .

Blake : " I think so ... ?. "

Said a tired Blake . Her facial expression openly betrayed that she did not want to talk about anything that happened here , but the possibility of Lappland's mental state deteriorating was enough of a threat to untie her lips .

Dr. Linzi : " That's good . If you can , come to the clinic tomorrow morning . "

After saying that , Dr. Linzi took out a small bottle of liquid and a gauze pad .

Dr. Linzi : " This is only a local anesthetic , it will only make you stop feeling the skin on your hand . Which means that you will feel everything I do in the wound , and it will be painful . I can't give you anything else because something stronger will make you lose feeling in your whole hand . And I need you to have feeling because working on nerves and muscles requires your opinion . Therefore, clench your teeth , I promise to end this quickly . "

Said Dr. Linzi , while wiping the anesthesia with a gauze pad around the wound . Right after that she started to clean the wound . And well , it was painful just as the doctor said . Blake with tears in her eyes and her head turned to the side , moaned in pain as Dr. Linzi used tweezers to open her wound . Then Dr. Linzi began cleaning the wounds with medical supplies made for that purpose .

It was during this process that Dr. Linzi noticed a miniature shard of black crystal , which due to its size almost escaped her . After all , it was barely the size of a splinter and mixed with blood , which , with the black color of that small crystal, made it virtually impossible to see it in the wound . Nevertheless, Dr. Linzi caught it and the sight of this crystal momentarily stopped the doctor's work . After looking at Blake, which head was turned away from her , Dr. Linzi pulled out the shard and placed it on a cotton swab , which she then tucked into her bag .

Then , under the cover of further cleaning of the wound , she once again searched the entire wound . At this time, Dr. Linzi's eyes were both focused and thoughtful . Apparently she was thinking deeply about something .It is obvious that the doctor has already seen an identical cristal . She did not have to confirm it nevertheless she decided to do it anyway .

Besides , it was found in the bite wound of Lappland which already gives answers . Lappland may have simply had an undetected crystal in her mouth , a crystal that broke when she bit and fell into Blake's wound . Unfortunately Dr. Linzi has her own procedures regarding her patients . But with sighed she decided to settle it tomorrow when Blake came to her office .

Dr Linzi : " I'm done with the cleaning . Now I will repair the muscles and tendons . "

Said Doctor Linzi , at which Blake finally looked at her nasty wound on her hand , which just under her gaze began to slowly close . Well at least the inside of the wound , because the skin continued to remain as it was . During this process , Dr . Linzi's face was remarkably focused on what she was doing .

Dr. Linzi : " Bend your fingers . "

Said a visibly tired Dr. Linzi looking at the end of the process . Hearing this , Blake slowly opened each finger of the damaged hand .

Doctor Linzi : " Any problems ? "

Asked the doctor pulling out the surgical suture kit despite her apparent exhaustion .

Blake : " Except for the pain , everything is fine . "

Said Blake , disturbed by the sight of the needle .

Doctor Linzi : " As my teacher would say - " It's good that it hurts , it means that the patient is still alive " .

Said Drl Linzi in a flat tone , which surprisingly seemed to improve the mood of Blake anyway . Doctor Linzi then began the process of suturing the skin . Her movements were quick and skilled which showed years of patching identical bites . This skill allowed Dr. Linzi to suture the entire wound in less than a minute .

Dr. Linzi : " I'm going to go check on Lappland. For now lie back and wait. When I'm done with Lappland, I'll be back to take care of the rest of your injuries "

Said Dr. Linzi while tying the last knot in surgical thread . Then Dr. Linzi put a bandage on Blake's hand . And after finishing with that , Dr. Linzi replaced the rubber gloves with new ones and went to the bathroom .
