Frost sat back and looked at the blade armed worker for a moment, her face blank, blinking numbly. Slowly, she shook her head, her ears drooping. "No, not really, at least they never come up to the infirmary to bother thanking me." She bared her fangs a bit as she glared down at her paws. "Beauty is pain, buttercups, why can't you all just enjoy the F***ING journey with me!" She barked the last part breathing heavily. Seconds later though she was smiling and bubbly, hugging Angder once again. "You're different though! My little masterpiece!" She patted him on the head. "Auntie Fem is going to be so exited when I show you to her, and she's NEVER exited!" She bounced in place. "Ooooh I can't wait, I have such big plans for you!" She gave him a squeeze.
"Umm, Ms. Frost?" The white canine released her favorite art project and whipped around to face a tall, lanky blue heron in a stained white surgeon's smock. He peered at her disapprovingly over the dingy surgical mask that struggled to cover his long beak. "You have an appointment scheduled with the CEO that you are CURRENTLY late to." He tapped his clipboard impatiently with a long, tattered feather.
Frost narrowed her eyes, prowling slowly towards the infirmary organizer. The bird's features seemed to morph as she got closer, from impatience, to confusion, to fear. He eyed her warily as she got right up in his face, appearing unable to move as if he were afraid she'd smell his fear. Frost's eyes sparkled, and she reached for a scalpel sitting on a rolling table nearby, causing the bird's eyes to widen. She lifted it, her muzzled twitching, and brought it down directly at the beak. The heron lost it, squawking and ducking from the blow. The blade narrowly missed and Frost grabbed the surgical mask in her other paw and ripped it off. "You look so stupid in that mask!" She barked, eliciting a look of complete dumbfounded confusion from the unharmed bird.
Frost spun around, mask in paw, and tossed it to Angder. "Make sure he doesn't get that back, I have to go meet with auntie Fem. Get yourself all snuggly up in your bed again and we'll start working together when I get back." And with that, she swung back around and marched past the heron, who had since broken out into violent shaking where he was still crouched on the floor, and disappeared out onto the main factory floor.
The heron gulped, standing shakily and brushing himself off. He looked at Angder and straightened up, trying again to look dignified and presentable. He lifted his clipboard from the ground where it had been flung in his moment of panic and scribbled something on a page before looking back to the "repaired" worker, giving him a quick nod of acknowledgement, and walking swiftly from the premises.
