Healer-boy

Fuck. The shock on her face and the pull of her paw to her lips suddenly had his brain come rushing back from its holiday in Auster. What had he done? His heart raced in his chest. He stepped back, to give her room. His deep green eyes unblinkingly observed her.

"I-- I'm sorry. I--- Iguessthatswhy." He mumbled in a rush. He'd never kissed anyone before. He didn't know what had come over him just now. She didn't seem to expect it at all. She seemed rather offended.

He clenched his tongue between his teeth. Chanting "ohhhhhh I fucked uuuuuup" in his head like a phantom drum beat. Was there a way he could twist it into the science test? Into patient treatment?? Fuck no, he just fucking kissed her! He's not supposed to fucking kiss... a Slave! Orrrr a patient! Most of all a patient!

Fuck!
But... Did she like it? Or did she... Stupid boy! He sat back on the furs they had been changing, looking very much like a boy headed for the noose.
