my hands are tied & my lips are sealed

Azure's eye contact was searing, and the tenderhearted girl set to work as quickly as possible. He lacked the warmth that his brother had shown, and it set Halo a bit more on edge than she'd already been. That was okay. Halo focused intently on her task at hand. "I need you to go through a full range of motion on each of your legs please. Let me know if you feel any clicking or popping, or pain," she moved to his right shoulder first, so she could watch the way he moved. Halo noted the presence of spurs, like Basilisk had. Unlike with the children, she trusted the adults to go through the full range without being guided. "How has your sleep been?" She would speed things up, allow for multi-tasking. Still, her gaze was trained on the man's joints as he moved. From one to the next, she'd move clockwise around him.

"Are you experiencing any aching, stiffness, or pain? Both when you're active and when you're at rest." The words were quiet, voice soft. "Are you having any difficulties with bodily functions?" This was probably more tactfully than how she'd asked Sirius, but she was far less comfortable with the second Armada alpha. "Do you have any wounds that are open, or any that are draining after scabbing over?" Halo was also inspecting the man closely as she spoke. "Are you eating well?"

As she returned to the shoulder she'd started with, Halo cast one more glance to Azure. "Is it okay if I touch your side?" Consent was important, and Halo wouldn't act without it. "We're almost done," she assured him. "Do you have adequate contraception? And do you have any questions for me?" The pale healer wasn't aware of the circumstances under which the previous litter had been conceived. Still, it was better to check in and offer, in her eyes.

"Halo"
