Anasui would be lying to say if he didn't get a kick of seeing Catrina injured after their quest against the Luvdisc. However, he is trying to make an active effort to not be an asshole, so he does accept the request from a very frazzled Chansey to deliver food to Catrina despite his feelings about her.

"I'm coming in," Anasui says without knocking. He walks over to the sulking candle and dumps the food in front of her, not caring if any spilled.

"Eat."

Wonderful bedside manner, Anasui...

[gimmeeyeballs]

It should've been humbling, it should've made Catrina realize that hey being made of wax isn't a sign of invisibility, but alas! This booger is looking up at Anasui, sulking and dramatic as can be over this!

She pokes a bit at the food a bit, just to push the giant murder bird known as Anasui before finally speaking.

"Fine, I'll eat, but you have to tell me a story!"

Catrina goes to eat...Cat's planning something isn't she?!

[dripdrive]

Anasui watches her with cold eyes, trying to show he's not going to back down. However, upon hearing her request, he scowls.

"Why do I have to tell you a story? Do I look like a babysitter to you?"

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Cause Nurse Chansey is horrifying to behold let alone allow to tell a story. Plus, it'd be hilarious to hear you tell a folktale."

Catrina just sat in her bed with a smug expression on her waxy face. Clearly, this was delightful in so many ways to the wretched tiny creature.

[dripdrive]

"Then absolutely not. Starve for all I care. You deserve it after getting hit by those attacks AND the stunt you pulled on the mountain," Anasui growls at her. He's trying to be a better person but he's not going to be a pushover. "All I have to do is make sure you take your medication, and I can literally force it down your throat. Do you want that?"

CW for..Well Catrina having a very awful mouth and NSFW implications.

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Kinky, I like that."

...Please, Anasui, feel free to football kick this awful, trolling candle. She's too cocky in her tiny bed looking smug as can be with an attitude to match! It'd be doing the Bay a good service! Invent football for everyone to enjoy immediately!

[dripdrive]

Anasui takes a long and deep breath. However, he doesn't give Catrina the reaction she wants. He merely shakes his head, as if disappointed with her choices.

"That's consent to my medical care. That should be good enough for Chansey."

Anasui's eyes glow and the medicine that Catrina is supposed to slurp down begins to ominously float in the air. "Hold still. Or else."

[gimmeeyeballs]

Well, her escape through becoming a football has been foiled! Think..think...OH! Right, Catrina has Minimize! That should work for an escape from having to take medicine as the wretched awful candle starts shrinking.....SHIT SHE'S GETTING INSANELY SMALL!

"FUCK NO!" Catrina yelps out as she scurries her tea light sized waxy ass out of the room...

[dripdrive]

Unfortunately for Anasui, he can only psychically hold one object at a time, so he has to choose between holding the medicine or potentially using his powers to block Catrina's escape. Unfortunately for Catrina, Anasui is reasonably intelligent. The Espathra drops the medicine and uses Psychic to close the door quickly, trying to keeping Catrina inside even in spite of minimise.

"Let's be clear, Catrina, I'm not messing around. I will knock you out to keep you here, do not test me."

If she does manage to escape, Anasui will pursue her. And he's much bigger and faster than her.

[gimmeeyeballs]

Catrina was a creature of very small ideas, very small and poorly constructed ideas at times. Catrina goes to dim the light of her flame a bit while miniaturized. Wait...there was a move that Shoka was showing Catrina last month. The brain hamsters were going over time as she looks at the door and then herself.

Catrina scrunches her face a bit...like a pug as she attempts Shadow Sneak. Bad news, Catrina is not able to learn that move. Instead, the dumbass queen of bad decision making learns by accident, Confuse Ray!

Well, it's a new move at least...Catrina...your Confuse Ray is making mini pew pew sounds...how are you doing that?

[dripdrive]

Anasui hisses as he's hit by the Confuse Ray and staggers back. He blinks wildly, trying to focus his brain again as his brain starts actively rejecting thoughts. It feels like the 'pew pew' sounds is making him hard to think, which somehow makes Anasui more upset.

"Dumbass. Stop it. Just take your medicine. The sooner you do the sooner you leave," Anasui says, teetering on his feet, trying not to sway.

[gimmeeyeballs]

The 'pew pew' sounds is definitely going to be hard to get rid of that was for sure as Catrina did stop using Confuse Ray. Was that a white flag of surrender? Catrina considers this a bit before calling out.

"I'll take the damn medicine if you put it in some ice cream!"

This was the most reasonable demand Catrina has made to date...this has to be a bad omen..

[dripdrive]

"Where the hell do you think I'm getting Ice Cream?" Anasui grimaces, wishing once again he had hands so he can hold his head or rub his temples. He's not sure if the Confuse Ray or Catrina is giving him a bigger headache.

"Ugh... Fine. If I get you ice cream, will you stay here AND take it?" Emphasis on stay here!

[gimmeeyeballs]

For once, Catrina is cooperating! "Yeah I'll stay and take the medicine if you get me some ice cream."

How is Anasui getting ice cream? That is definitely a mystery unless the Miltank here have an ice cream parlor they run in town? Catrina really is something else when it comes to being a headache giver either by her own waxy hands or the accidentally learned new move...

[dripdrive]

Anasui frowns. He racks his brain, trying to think whether or not he's ever seen an ice creamery. Damn it, if they don't have someone to make ice cream, he'll have to do it himself. And how was he supposed to make ice cream himself?

Wait, he has a move for this. He actually has a move for this!

"... It will a sorbet at best or a popsicle. Is that acceptable?"

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Holy shit, I'm game for sorbet! That stuff is fucking awesome."

Catrina perks up at the potential of getting Sorbet as a possible ice cream. Sorry Miltank, nothing personal, but it's sorbet, delicious sorbet!

[dripdrive]

Finally, something was going his way.

"Good. If you're not going to eat the berries you're supposed to have for dinner, give them to me. I'll make them into sorbet. I'm not paying for extra rations for you."

Also she can pick the flavour but that's very much a side thing.

[gimmeeyeballs]

Without any hesitation, Catrina gets up the pecha berry and holds it up for Anasui to turn into a sorbet. It's suppose to be like a peach, right? It'd be a Peach Bellini sorbet!

"Let's do the pecha berry! I want to do sorbet for dinner."

Things really are going Anasui's way now...something feels terribly wrong in the universe right now...

[dripdrive]

There's no booze though...

"Makes my life easier," Anasui isn't her dad. He doesn't care what she does and doesn't eat as long as she takes her medication and he can say he did his duty as a clinic volunteer.

Anasui uses his psychic powers to lift up the Pecha berries from her plate and the one Catrina is holding. He takes a bowl from one of the bags around his neck and puts the berries in it. Anasui lets go of his psychic connection and the bowl drops to the ground in preparation for what Anasui's Freeze-Dry.

"Diver Down!" There's a flash of light and all the moisture is instantly drained from the berry and it goes ice cold.

He deserves a good thing on occasion. A little treat, if you will.

[gimmeeyeballs]

It looks like tonight, Catrina will have to use the powers of *imagination* to make believe there's booze in it. A candle can dream and play make believe as a full grown former amphibian.

No time to argue logic now! Catrina was more or less fixated on the show Anasui was performing with making sorbet before her! This was definitely what Catrina would call a dinner and a show. The instant freeze drying of the pecha berries did make Catrina think of wrinkled up little old people...granny sorbet?

Yep, no going back, Catrina is gonna be calling it Granny Sorbet from now on. That is the superior name for a sorbet anyways. It was more of a treat to Catrina though, free magic show and all. Also, she's for once silent...its an Arceus given miracle..

[dripdrive]

Anasui does not care what Catrina does in her off-time as long as it doesn't bother him. And he's not dumb enough to ruin a good thing, so he doesn't speak, less it reminded Catrina that she could talk. Instead, the Espathra uses his psychic powers to crush the now-dry berries, and then adds a little bit of water to the mixture before churning it with a spoon.

After refreezing the sorbet with a well-aimed Freeze-dry so it didn't fully remove the liquids from the treat, Anasui pushes the bowl of sorbet to Catrina. He then puts her medicine on top of the spoon and stares at her, expecting her to make good on her promise.

[gimmeeyeballs]

Sure enough, the candle goes to town on the sorbet, even eating the medicine along with it. Congratulations Anasui, you managed to do something that Chansey's haven't been able to do, get Catrina to take her meds! Alas, there are no guild points to be earned here...Time to harass some Chanseys for some guild points.

Soon enough, that bowl as well at the spoon is clean and sparkling with one very satisfied awful candle.

[dripdrive]

Anasui is about to walk off when a thought occurs to him. He turns his head back to Catrina, voice dropping low.

"Do not expect this to be a reoccurring theme. You will eat regular meals and have medicine as usual until you've been discharged. If Nurse Chansey tells me you've been behaving, I may consider getting you more sorbet. Understood?"

The Unown have gone on a word stealing spree ;_;

[gimmeeyeballs]

Catrina learned something new today which wasn't common and sort've weird to have it happening in one sitting. If she were to get this treatment again...Catrina will have to be very...VERY crafty with how she goes about it.

"You have my word." Is all Catrina could say, she's gonna have to brew something in her sleep...maybe. There's also the chance she'll forget all this and do something else like raid the supply closet.
