Katarina's latest routine check-up is the usual impersonal gamut of blood draws and prodding, questions and measuring. Nothing Katarina hasn't endured multiple times already though the good doctor seems almost like she's not being as rough in handling Katarina as she normally is. It's when she's examining the scales on her lower back that she lets out the dreaded "Huh?" of having discovered something noteworthy, which probably serves to fill Katarina with concern if not outright dread, followed by the click of the tape recorder being turned on. "Approximately 2 centimeters of medial spread, 1 centimeters caudal, possible increase over previously observed rate around healed and partially regrown section of... straight laceration." she pauses for a moment, then finishes her dictation and turns the tape recorder off.
"This is much cleaner than the usual scabbed mess." she asks, leaning in closer. It looks almost as clean as when she biopsies a scale with a scalpel. "Have you been cheating on me with another doctor, Miss Kane?"
