Evidently not.So anyone in the northern north mid-west, if you see someone that looks like me, say hi and how much you like reading my small efforts.

“He’s still sleeping. We’ve the room for another 6 hours. Leave us.”
“There is a need to take a blood specimen, for the time after feeding, to access his RBC.”
“Wouldn’t it make more sense to take that specimen when he’s awake and rested before he leaves? It is unethical to draw blood when a person is unconscious.”
There was a sigh, “I need to take his vital signs as well. The blood draw can wait a few hours but the mini-exam needs to be done now and your consort called to inquire after events.”
“I’ll call Stephen later when I know more.” In exasperation,“Alright! Do your exam and then leave.”
“It would be helpful if you were not hovering possessively over your most recent meal.”
There was the rustle of clothing, before the feel of a blood pressure cuff being placed around his arm happened and then a cold stethoscope.
“Couldn’t you have least warmed up the instrument before applying it to him,” was hissed.
“I’m no more human than you are and I haven’t had the opportunity to feed or cuddle with his warmth,” was hissed back. “He’s awake,” was said with some surprise at Everett’s flinch.
Eyes still closed Everett mumbled, “m’not.” His hand sought out the blanket and encountered another hand, not as warm as his but it was pulling the blanket further up and tucking it around him.
“I still need to take your temperature,” something was fitted into his ear briefly and then, “I’ll be back to take the specimen in 3 hours.”
“How not awake are you, sweetling?” was asked in amused concern as a solid body fitted itself behind him, drawing him into enclosing arms. Everett didn’t answer, falling back into sleep as a kiss was lightly pressed in back of his ear. It was nice.
