⠀⠀⠀⠀`` Hm⠀.ᐣ⠀`` His attention pulled from the 'mon towards a familiar face he wasn't expecting to see waiting here⠀.
⠀⠀Seeing her worry⠀,⠀he quick to wave it off with his good hand⠀.⠀Giving her a small reassuring smile⠀.⠀`` I'm fine⠀,⠀darling⠀.

She's waiting for him by the entrance.
As soon as she learned where he was, she didn't hesitate. A look of worry written all over her face, and it worsened when she saw the cast.
" Caff..? What happened?! Are you okay!?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀Steps out of the emergency room with a cast on his right wrist and a very guilty looking Jolteon following close to his left⠀.⠀* 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙮 sigh⠀.
⠀⠀Reaches down with his good hand⠀,⠀giving the electric - type a few reassuring pats to it's head⠀.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀Snickers⠀.⠀Caff pretty much melting against her soothing palm⠀,⠀though still being mindful of his weight⠀.⠀Making sure to not lean to much of it against her hand⠀,⠀out of fear of harming her⠀.
⠀`` As alluring as that offer is⠀,

" Aching? "
She asked with a worried inflection to her voice. One of her hands soothingly rubbed his back. She knew long work days could really do a number on him.
" Need a back massage, hun? I don't mind at all. I love putting my hands on you.. ~"

I must decline it⠀.⠀I'd hate to put you out over something a little patch can easily fix⠀.⠀`` He gently takes her free hand between his own⠀,⠀his thumb rubbing a few small circles on her knuckles⠀,⠀before bring it up to his lips⠀;

⠀⠀⠀⠀`` You could do both⠀,⠀it's not uncommon after all⠀.⠀But⠀,⠀I won't pester you about it any further⠀.⠀You seem more than content with how things are⠀,⠀especially with the new additions to you're ever growing adventure family⠀.⠀``

I think my vet days are behind me now , truth be told . I'm . . . I've found new things . I like exploring . I enjoy the mountains , the caves , the views .
Looking back now just feels . . . weird .
Hah , ain't that the truth . I mean , I think I'm the happiest I've been in a long time . I think one thing that's stuck around from my days of wanting to be a vet is my nurturing nature .

⠀⠀⠀⠀Chuckles⠀.⠀`` You seem happier⠀.⠀Having children whether through adoption or other means can change a person's life in the best way possible⠀.⠀Proton being a good example⠀.⠀``
