werewolves and lesbians and magic potions (o/o)

"Just-be careful. Cats are a bit fragile." she said quickly. "Aww, a kitty! Anna, you're too good to your patients!" Boston said. "Well, I'll be on my way now, I have clients to get to and Mr. Blakely in particular is quite the impatient one. Remember, Anna, I'm risking my hide for you here." she grinned, and left.

"Boston is quite the strange one, sorry for leaving you with her without a warning." Anna shrugged.

El nodded a little, being careful not to be too rough with the kitten. She looked up at Anna, and gave a soft little smile. "It is alright. She was not bad." she replied, still gently scratching between and behind Boris's ears, hoping the kitten would like it as much as her dogs always had.

Boris rolled over in her hands, purring intensely at the petting. Someone unfamiliar with cats might be concerned, but Anna certainly wasn't. She was more of a dog person herself (very funny, Anna), but cats were lovely to have around when you needed a good companion who would just sit there and listen, maybe even cuddle some.

El blinked at first, a little concerned, but kept gently scratching the kitten. She knew enough about cats to know that the purring wasn't something to worry about; indeed, it meant she must have done something right.

"See, he likes you!" Anna grinned. Boris seemed a little sleepy now, and started to curl up beside El happily. "Let him rest, he probably needs it. He usually works at the hospital keeping people company, but he's old enough to be away from his siblings now, I doubt that will be a problem for you. Be warned, he's a playful little fellow when he isn't sleepy, and will bite at you and roughhouse if you let him."

El smiled a little, looking over at Anna. "I see. Thank you." she kept gently petting Boris, letting him get to sleep. "I hope I'm not inconveniencing you too much, am I?"

"Oh, no, not at all. If anything, I needed the practice on sewing up wounds. It's good to remember these things in the heat of the moment, rather than in an academic setting. Keeps the mind sharp, fresh." she shrugged, moving to reorganize Boston's reorganizing.

She nodded faintly. "Right. I just…I'm staying in your home, and…I don't want to intrude on you any longer than I must." she tucked back a lock of stray blond hair, looking over at Anna.

"Stay as long as you need." she said. "Even if it's years on end, stay as long as you need." she nodded, knowing it probably wouldn't be that long but El probably still needed the reassurance.

She blinked. "It will not be years, but…thank you." she said, still gently petting Boris, who had fallen asleep. "It is much appreciated."

(sooo I made an aesthetic board for El? Here ya go lol Aesthetic board)

(I love it!!!)

(Also, possibly it will be years because they are gay and in love or at least will be at some point.)

(:D thank you!)
(Hshxgd yeah but she doesn't know that)

(I mean fair. Also, what would make El fall in love with Anna? I think Anna would fall in love with El if she did something really brave or strong or even just something considerate for her, like protecting her from some assholes who don't like that she's a doctor, or even just anticipating that she'd need something and helping take care of her.)

(hmmmm honestly I'm not sure? I think for El, maybe if soldiers came looking for her and Anna lied and said she hadn't seen her? That would at least kick it off?)

(Yeah, also probably the tender "I will care for you if it's the last thing I do because you're pretty neat" might help. Like, maybe El gets into another bad scrape on her own and Anna just takes care of her and also physical contact and yearning for the soul.)

(:D yessss I love it)

(Also, just,,,, the hurt and the comfort that follows. It is My Shit. For like, both of them. And once Anna starts getting involved with a certain idiot doctor, El probably won't stand for letting Anna hurt herself, thus kicking off more affection between the two.)

(yessss)

(I mean, like, he's trying to steal her werewolf powers for his Fucked Up And Evil™ potion so, like, yeah. It's a whole fucking thing.)

(ooh exciting, I love it)

(Like, his motive is to Not be Fucked Up And Evil™ but he still manages it anyways. This is also going to be A Thing in the other RP so watch out for that.)

(shdgaggsgs oof)

(Oof indeed. Honestly so many of my characters have good intentions but fuck up anyways.)

(big mood tho, tbh)

(It's because I do the exact same thing. Like, I'm reverse Megamind. Trying not to be evil but succeeding anyways.)

(lmao oof)

She blinked. "It will not be years, but…thank you." she said, still gently petting Boris, who had fallen asleep. "It is much appreciated."

Anna smiled. "You never know, plans can change. But I doubt that too. You'll rest, recover, and get to where you need to go in a jiffy, I promise." she smiled.

(Do you wanna timeskip to when she gets her stitches taken out?)

(yeah sure)

El nodded a little, realizing she needed to figure out where she was going to go next, after this. After she was done staying with Anna, where would she go?
