The Vet – Excerpt

Jisi tugged on Gail's hand as they left the office where they both worked. She had a strong grip and pulled hard for someone who only came up to about the height of Gail's thighs. "Come on. We're going to have to hurry to make it to your vet's appointment."

"My what," said Gail. There were things that she still hadn't entirely processed about the weekend she'd spent with Jisi. It'd started with Jisi insisting that she'd needed Gail's help to brew a potion, which somehow meant that Gail had to let Jisi climb on her shoulders to pick apples in a magical forest, which somehow turned into Gail running through the forest at top speed, Jisi bouncing up and down on her shoulders and screaming with delight. It'd all ended up with Gail flat on her back in Jisi's backyard, too blissed-out to remember her name.

So it was theoretically possible that at some point during all that there had been some mention of a vet, and maybe Gail had agreed to it? None of which meant that it was a good idea to do everything that Jisi wanted. They were drowning in work, and when Gail had suggested that maybe they'd do something, Jisi had been mysterious about her plans, which was… well, there was definitely a chance it was going to be fun. But there was also a chance that it wasn't going to be fun. Vet? What the hell did Jisi mean by that?

"It's very important that you pay attention to your health," said Jisi sententiously.

"Sure. I get a yearly physical, and I go to the dentist regularly, and—"

"What's a dentist?" Jisi looked back up at Gail with a puzzled frown, and then waved it off. "Who cares? Those are human doctors, and what do they know?"

"Humans, mostly," said Gail. She'd been dubious when Jisi had announced that she had plans for the weekend, but at the same time, Gail hadn't made any other plans for the weekend. Not that they were necessarily going to do the same thing they'd done last time, and not that she'd necessarily agree to doing all of the things that she'd agreed to last time, but… well, that didn't mean that she was going to a goblin doctor. Certainly not a goblin doctor who called themselves a vet.

"Well, maybe," said Jisi. "But, first of all, they don't know magic, so how much do they really know, anyway? And second of all, what they know about humans, they learned about when they were living in humanlaw, and there's all sorts of things that doctors aren't allowed to do to their patients in humanlaw, so they don't know how to actually treat humans. No, we're going to have to go to goblinlaw, to take you to a proper veterinarian, who will know what everyone needs to know about humans, and who will be able to do the tests to see if you could charge sources. And then I will be able
