Ollie stayed put on her chest, continuing to gently stroke her soft skin while he watched the nurse with caution. He might get sent away, and he didn't want that. He wanted anything but that. He chittered softly, assuming a defensive position in front of Anna's face while he raised his tail
Anna's eyes widened. "Oh… hello," she muttered, pushing his tail down. "Relax."
"Uh, is your pet going to be staying with you?" the nurse asked, setting up some machines to regulate Anna's heartbeat and blood pressure.
"Yes," Anna said quietly. "If that's possible, please."
Ollie blushed, realizing what he'd done while he backed away, suppressing his animalistic tendencies while he hid his face.
Oh…Senhor, me salve…
Ollie then curled up again, content with the fact that he got to stay, while snuggling closer to Anna.
Anna began to stroke his fur again.
"Alright, there should be a doctor in with you shortly," the nurse said, pulling a curtain around the bed as she left.
She waited until the curtain was completely draw before she muttered, "If you need to shift, do it now before anyone else comes."
Ollie sighed with relief, clambering off on Anna before plopping onto the floor, shifting while he stretched.
"Anna I… Foda-se… I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking and I really should have stayed and-" His ramblings were cut off by his own guilt while he tightly crossed his arms. "I am so sorry"
Anna shook her head. "This would've happened anyway. It's not your fault at all, so don't think that for a moment." She reached out toward him and smiled. "In the ambulance… you were doing something, weren't you? Healing me? I felt it."
Ollie blushed, rubbing his arm while he smiled slightly.
"metamorfos…. we can heal. I sensed your pain, and so I took it." He mumbled, a bit embarrassed.
Anna looked first amazed, then confused, then worried. "You took my pain? As in, you felt it instead of me? Why would you do that?" she asked quietly. "I didn't know you could heal people."
