Fauna tilted her head, her golden hair catching the soft sunlight as she smiled mischievously.
"So...Cecilia, why exactly did you corner me like that? You four looked like you were about to stage a mutiny."
Cecilia pushed her glasses up with a sigh, trying to ignore the teasing lilt in Fauna's voice.
"It's nothing dramatic, Lady Fauna. I just have some patient reports I need you to review. There are some irregularities, and your opinion would be valuable."
That single word, reports, was enough to shift the entire atmosphere.
The playful, lighthearted energy around Fauna dimmed, replaced by quiet focus. Her smile also softened into something calmer, more thoughtful.
She accepted the tablet from Cecilia and immediately began scrolling through the files.
The other three doctors instinctively straightened, as though gravity itself had increased. Cecilia, too, went silent, watching her mentor's expression transform from one of childlike mischief to serenity.
