" Not at all. I'm a doctor, above all else. "
He couldn't just refuse to treat her, even if it was after hours. Besides, Baizhu was always willing to work extra during emergencies.
" Whereabouts are you from, miss ? "

"I... I don't know. I'm... I'm new around. I got lost, fell in an ambush... I managed to flee but..."
A wince left her lips.
"I'm so sorry for the trouble... I..."
A sigh.
Khamorosha
Baizhu approached to have a closer look. Definitely a wound caused by a hostile sword ...
" Do you remember where the injury occured ? " he asked, already grabbing bandages and other tools he'd need to patch her up.
Could it have been treasure hoarders ?

The look on his face convinced her that resisting in any way would be pointless.
So she looked down and walked over to the nearest chair, sitting down on it and avoiding his glance.
When she moved her hand from her side, she revealed a slash wound, profound but not that long, most likely -

He could tell she was lying. He wasn't stupid.
" I insist, miss. Have a seat. Let me have a look for any wounds. " he nodded, in a way that said no arguments.
▍ 白术. 🌿
Immediately, out of instinct, she stepped back, feeling guilty for having him worried about her.
"No no, please don't worry. It's nothing too bad. I... I should be alright."
She promised, but the lie was absolutely obvious.
Khamorosha
Baizhu noticed instantly.
" Are you wounded ? Let me have a look. "
He couldn't just ignore a person in need of medical assistance, even if the pharmacy was technically closed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll... I'll come back later."
She blurted out, one of her hands firmly holding her side, her expression pained, and very much looking like she was lost.
"Thank you for your kindness. Sorry for intruding."

" I'm sorry, we're cl ——— "
An unfamiliar face, looking like she needed help. " We're closed, but is there something I can help you with ? Are you lost, perhaps ? "
