Dr. Doom started to turn and leave when the patient stirred. The four-armed mouse stared at the great horned owl as he sat up, holding his head and blinking in confusion. Doom gasped. His eyes were blank -- they had no pupils! "W-Where am I?" The patient murmured. Hearing Doom's gasp, he added, "And who's there?"
Doom put on a polite smile. "Oh, hi there," he greeted cheerfully, although a little off-put by the patient's eyes. "I'm Dr. Doom, and this is Neggie, a patient here at SparkleCare Hospital. Welcome! What's your name?" The owl blinked and glanced around before turning back to Doom.
"I'm Lou," the owl said. "And what kind of a name is Neggie?" Doom sighed and facepalmed.
"It's short for Negative -- as in photo negative, like her eyes." The large rodent scowled. "Come on people, it's an adorable nickname!" Lou didn't seem to be listening as he felt the bed around him, trying to figure out what was going on. "Uh, Lou, what are you doing?"
"Trying to get my bearings," Lou answered plainly. "I'm kind of blind here, you know."
"Great..." Doom sighed, his smile growing thin. "Well, Neggie, looks like we got a live one. Come on, let's go help him out." He set the little anon down and began to walk to Lou's side.
