Fennec grinned, an expression perhaps distressingly similar to a smirk, as Phox put the new guy firmly in her care.  Excellent.  He'd give her a great test run, and since he was new, was unlikely to do much if she fucked up.  It wasn't like she'd kill him, or even hurt him.  She just had no clue what was wrong with him, so no idea if she could actually help.  It was the perfect no-stress way to find out.

She added, a little softer, to whatever direction he'd spoken from.  Whether she caught him before leaving or not, that was all she got out before following her new patient down to the water.  As she went, she asked, Okay, now, what symptoms?  He hadn't gotten there yet, far as she remembered.
