*Jake frog-marched Lizzie into the infirmary and sat her on a cot.*
"'sthere a doctor in here?"

*Lizzie pursed her lips, vexed something fierce. Why did Jake always have to be such a pain?*

Got I hate the night shift...
*Renn walked up to the two, surprised at seeing the girl she'd met at the market.*
"Hello, my name is Renn. What seems to be the trouble?"

"Fool girl hit her head, n' happens to be comin' off the end of a bender from the looks of things. Didn't wanna let her go to bed like that, so I hauled her in here for a check-up."
'Course I already KNOW she's got a serious screw loose...

*Renn nodded in understanding.*
"Okay- she might have a concussion."
*She ran a hand through her hair.*
"Though if she's drunk like you suggest, it'll be difficult to separate the symptoms from plain old alcohol. What happened, exactly? Did she pass out when she hit her head?"

*Lizzie frowned, quite indignant.*
"Did not...wasn't even that bad...but someone's got to go make a fuss for its..."

"No, he was right for bringing you here- Better safe than sorry," *she said with a smile.*
*She turned to Lizzie, and looked at her eyes.*
"One of your pupils is dilated. You probably do have a concussion. Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?"

*Lizzie's lip protruded in thought.*
"Kinda, I guess. I kinda feel weak since I threw up."
*She glared at Jake.*
"And gross. Really gross."

"Okay," *she said, writing in her chart.*
"It's probably not too bad, but I'm going to keep you here overnight and do a CT scan to make sure there's nothing too serious."

*Lizzie looked up at her groggily.*
"That mean I git to sleep now?"

*Renn smiled.*
"I don't see why not," *she said.* "If you'll follow me, I'll get you a room and schedule the test."
*She led Lizzie and Jake to an empty room.*

*Lizzie leaned heavily on Jake, but was able to make it to the room without too much of a fuss. She plopped down rather gracelessly.*
"So do I gotta do this test now then?"

"Yes, but you don't necessarily have to be awake for it. A machine takes x-rays of your brain to check for any damage," *she said.*

*Lizzie laid back contentedly.*
"Fine then, just wakes me up when it's over then."
*She rested her eyes, drifting quickly towards sleep.*

*With a nurse's help, Renn wheeled Lizzie to the radiology department for the scan. Later, Lizzie had been returned to her room and Renn came into the room with the test results.*
"Congratulations," *she said to Jake,* "Your sister has a grade one concussion. It's pretty mild, no permanent damage."
