[ Oh... a doctor. Doctors help people. And isn't that the name of the person Mokou was asking for earlier, in her body? Ib feels a bit better. ] Come in. [ She sit up in bed, the blanket still on her head. ]

[healinguilt]

[ She'll let herself in, then. And find her, knocking on the door to her room before entering. She also brought a fire extinguisher with her.

Ah. Ib does look scared. It's not an expression she's ever seen on Mokou before, too. ] Look, everything's going to be alright. This will probably only last a week or so, and I'm sure you can handle it.

[wordsidk]

[ She tilts her head at the fire extinguisher. Everyone is really worried about fires... Mokou can do something with fire, right? She doesn't know how that works. This lady thinks she can handle it, a week of being not herself. Having someone tell her that does help her muster some courage. Unfortunately being Mokou doesn't make her anymore talkative. She just nods. ]

[healinguilt]

[ She comes into the room freely, pulling up a chair to sit across form her on the bed. ] I realize that this may have put you in a body that's about seven years older than your own. Can you tell me any differences you've noticed while in this body? [ Welcome to being a teenager. ]

[wordsidk]

[ 9+7 = 16! Mokou always seemed older than that... She frowns a moment in thought. Not sure what she means by differences. Beyond the obvious being an adult so taller and... boobs. ] ... Smells funny.

[healinguilt]

That... can be due to a number of things. Up until recently she used to be a chronic smoker. She claims to bath regularly, but I still cant be sure about that. Another factor is that, in short, as the body grows through adolescence and further it releases more odors-- pheromones and other things.

[wordsidk]

[ Ib stares at the doctor. She's using quite a few words that are a bit above her level. But she understands the smoking and maybe not bathing. She nods like she understands - growing up means smells. ]

[healinguilt]

Which brings me to another point. Have you been... feeling anything strange lately? Such as pain here. [ She points to her own lower stomach. Because if this 9 year old girl is having cramps because being in a 16 year old's body-- ]

[wordsidk]

[ Hands on stomach, Ib tries to think of what she could mean by feeling strange. This isn't the first time someone as said something like that to her but they never explain what they mean by "feeling strange" Just that she should tell them. ] .... I'm not hungry. [ That's kind of strange. ]

[healinguilt]

No, that's not what I meant. [ A pause. ] For some it might be a dull, throbbing pain that may produce a feeling of being bloated. Others might night find anything painful at all. [ Hopefully Ib won't ask why, so-- ] Just... If you do start to feel anything painful along your lower stomach or you experience bleeding you can call me and we'll talk then.

[wordsidk]

[ Pain and blood, smelling funny. There's a lot she doesn't understand and she's not sure she wants to ask. Here she thought all she had to worry about was fire and taking care of Mokou's hair. She just stares. ] ... Okay.

[healinguilt]

[ It's better to be prepared! Even if this might only last a little more than a week... Naomi would rather not have a 9 year old freaking out over the unexpected happening. ] Do you have any questions?

[wordsidk]

[ Questions? Yeah, she probably has a million of them but comfort levels. Ib continues to stare. ] What about... fire?
