O'Hara blinked, and her features softened with light embarrassment. "I'm sorry," she apologized briefly. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Althea blinked rapidly.
"No, no…" she said, absentmindedly, "No need to apologize. You were just doing your job."

O'Hara pursed her lips slightly, but she placed her hand over Althea's. "If I made you uncomfortable, you can tell me. You're not going to offend me, darling."

"Not uncomfortable, per say," Althea said, looking down at her hands. "I just kind of jumped because of reflexes."

O'Hara noticed the look and drew her hand away slowly. "Alright," she murmured, studying the woman briefly. Reflexes to pull away when someone came close usually didn't have a good origin story, but the doctor didn't press.

"When can I go home?" Althea asked nervously, trying to steer the conversation away. "Tomorrow?"

She fiddled with her hands as she spoke, which was a tell tale sign she was nervous.

O'Hara noted the nervous tell and met the woman's eyes. "It's likely if nothing comes back from your scans. I should think you'll be alright, though it's a bit more difficult to tell before everything is processed. Are you sure your head's alright?"

Althea nodded slowly.
"Yes," she said tiredly. "My head's alright."

O'Hara hesitated another moment before nodding. "Alright, well… I'll be back in a few minutes. If you need anything before then, don't hesitate to call for me. Or find someone else who can."
