girlsoloIn the waiting room of the vet clinic, Lilo gives Bonny a pep talk. It's okay, she tells the puppy. She doesn't have to be scared about going to the doctor. It won't hurt and if it does she and Kate will be right there. Doctor Magnus is Kate's ohana, too, and was Declan's ohana too, so they can trust her. Even if she doesn't have lollipops. Bonny's sprawled across Kate and Lilo, and if she's scared you wouldn't know it from how she's panting and licking at Lilo's face. She might be thirsty, though.
It's not like Magnus to keep anyone waiting like this. Kate can hear she doesn't have any other patients. She knows Magnus doesn't have any other patients because Kate made her appointments yesterday. This is the only one on the books. Kate frowns and ruffles Bonny's ears. She ruffles Lilo's hair, too, and grins at her. "Hey, Lilo, watch Bonny for a few. I'm gonna get Bonny some water and see if Magnus needs us to come back later."
Lilo nods. "I'll teach him to be a model citizen."
"Good luck with that." Bonny's idea of being a model citizen is doing her business outside and not chewing on shoes. Kate's not sure how she feels about Elvis, but she howls along happily enough.
After she puts the bowl down for Bonny, Kate heads into the back and peers around the door into the first treatment room. Magnus isn't in there. She goes to the second one and the door's closed. There's noise and at first Kate's rolling her eyes because seriously she and Will can't do this shit at home? But then Magnus's whimper dissolves to retching and Kate reaches for her knife. She pushes open the door--
And doesn't see anything.
Scowling, she plasters herself against the wall to clear behind the door. Nothing. So she goes the rest of the way in and it's just Magnus. Kneeling over a basket. Puking. Uhh...
"Magnus?" Kate crouches down next to her. "Helen... are you...can I get you some water or something?"
