Andi and Benjii Harrison were trainers, she worked with domestic and feral and exotic cats in order to incorporate them into the lives of others who wanted to have them as pets, and he worked with ordinary dragons; most of the creatures he trained became royal dragons upon completion of his courses, and this citizen elf preferred to work from home. His clients stayed on the grounds of his eighty-acre estate, they were regularly taken on trips away from the monotony that could be created from being within the same four walls, and he never trained more than five dragons at a time; taking on too many chores at the same time could cause forgetfulness and neglect and the end of his trainer’s license, and therefore, he wouldn’t take on more than he knew he could handle. She worked among hundreds of other trainers in a feline sanctuary, each species of cat was separated from the others, and had plenty of caretakers to maintain their needs; Andi had been certified and licensed to work with each type of cat, and went to the sanctuaries that needed her the most.
These citizens lived on Amarol, in North Onnoop, and they had six children; three boys and three girls were the standings in the Harrison household, when Doctor Milzur contacted his patient to let her know, “Missus Harrison, the results of the test you took are in”.
“Alright, do I need to come into your office or can you tell me now?” She asked.
“You’re going to need to make an appointment with my nurse, and I’ll give you the results, then. Give me just a moment, and I’ll transfer you over to Paola”, the obstetrician said.
“Alright, doctor, I’ll hold”, she responded. As she waited for the nurse to answer, she wondered why the doctor couldn’t tell her the results while she was connected with him, and when Paola answered her connection, Andi asked, “Could you explain to me why the doctor can only tell me that my results are in, and why he cannot tell me without my having to take off from work?”
“I’m sorry, the doctor doesn’t like doing things that way, but it’s a matter of medical ethics; his hands are tied by the medical board, and if he were to break their rules, he’d lose his license. I know its not much of a consolation for his patients who generally, always think the worst until they see the doctor, but there’s nothing he can do, really”, the nurse explained.
“Well, I know that my health is in good order, or at least it always has been, but until I come in to see the doctor, I am going to be worried. I mean, who wouldn’t? I don’t need you to answer that, I’m a bit overwhelmed”, she said.
“Trust me, I completely understand, and if it helps, you and I are in the same boat. I’m waiting for an appointment with my own practitioner, and the suspense is driving me batty”, Paola said.
“I guess it does kinda help. When does he have time in his schedule for me? The trainer inquired.
“Well, we’ve had a few patients reschedule their appointments, so I can get you in at ten after one, if you’re available”, the nurse said.
“That’s directly after lunch, I’ve got some rescheduling to do myself, but I can make it a few minutes after one o’clock”, Andi said. Being in management, she could make changes to the schedule, but rarely ever did it, last minute. She liked to give her employees a warning before making any adjustments to their work stations, but she had to make an exception this time; she was certain her best worker, Amaya wouldn’t much of a fuss over the change, and she made a connection to inform the elf her new work orders.

At one o’clock, the feline trainer was sitting on the table in a private waiting room at her obstetrician’s office, and she kicked her feet in nervous anticipation of his arrival. When the strapping, young doctor stepped inside of the room, her legs immediately stopped swinging, and she pulled them up to her chest; she couldn’t be certain as to why, but holding her knees was comforting.
“Hello, there, Missus Harrison, first, let me apologize for my not being able to tell you the results of your test while we talked earlier, I’m sure Paola told you it’s a matter of ethics, and if I lose my license, I’d never be able to face my wife”, Doctor Milzur explained.
“I understand that, doctor, but from the point of view of one of your...
