Ifa ⟡ Saurian Vet

“For real now?!” Cacucu stiffens with fear and can only watch as the emanator approaches, raising a claw finger to his belly and this was it! Eaten.

Ifa, my bro, your cookies was the best and your hat was so warm for naps.

Cacucu's little heart couldn't take it. He sways before his little wings give out and the little raptor faints midair, falling and falling.

What a strange creature . . . and he even talks. The poor thing looks terrified, but he's also intelligent enough to try and defuse the situation.

The Emanator's head tilts in curiosity, and he lifts a claw to poke gently at the strange thing.

❝ What are you? ❞

It seems almost strange for Ifa to have a moment of repose. The trauma of the abyssal war still weighing down on The Tlalocan, the face of every injured saurians he's healed and lost still fresh in his mind. It feels wrong for the vet ( and fills his heart with guilt ) to sit at the edge of his clinic, feet dangling off the cliffside, and sharing the gorgeous sunset in the company of a friendly outlander. 

❝ Mondstadt?! Aw, dude, you're way far from home. ❞ Ifa stares into his cup of Xocoatl. He's brought one for Kaeya and a plate for cookies to share between them.  

❝ Land of freedom, right? Man, that's like the total opposite. Nation of war and competition here. What's it like, dude? Mondstadt? ❞

@ifadoc: you can stay here, if you don't want to go home. ( for kaeya; inbox call )

the warmth of natlan mixing with his own issues was making it hard for kaeya during his time in the nation of war. slumped outside of the vet's place, he looked up at him and sighed a bit as he shrugged a little bit.

"i don't want to be a burden, i know your nation's only just finished an abyssal war. i'm just a simple traveller here, but... it'll be a long walk back to mondstadt in this weather and time so.. i won't say no."

how do you describe the feeling of missing a rp partner’s interpretation of a muse because if I go looking through the character’s tag … it’s not actually who I’m missing, like it’s not the same so all I can do is 🥺

@ccaptain sent: ❛ whatever you’re going to ask, the answer is no. ❜ / particularly if it addresses the little iktomisaurus coming off his head. its a very adorable coo-ing hat

Ifa has a few infant saurians in his clinic today, all of which are requiring their milestone vaccinations. He's encouraged the young dragonkin to stay together using saurian crackers he's baked early this morning, but just as the vet readies his tray of syringes, he's counted one baby dragon short of the bunch.

Ifa swivels his head 180, searching for the small Iktomisaurus. How could it slip from the group? Those baby bat saurians are the most timid and well-behaved of the saurians. Then Ifa notices the visitor from Mondstadt and his new hat. 

❝ C'mon, dude. Quit foolin' 'round the babies and lead me a hand, willya? ❞ 

The Tlalocan holds out a cracker and the tiny Iktomisaurus coos with interest. 

Ifa holds up his hand and waves away the compliment. 

❝ Seriously, it's my job and I try my best for my patients. ❞ He smiles politely at the Iudex. 

Ifa wishes he had brought his medical journal with him. He hadn't known other nations had dragonkind and didn't think he have any reason to record any medical cases as he wouldn't have any on his journey. He'll have to buy a notebook in the market and record his experience with the Iudex of Fontaine. 

❝ I have a close friend who has draconic genetics similar to saurians so you can trust I've handled cases similar yours, and you've got nothing to be worried about du—sir. ❞ Ifa explains as he returns his stethoscope to his medical side satchel. 

❝ As I said, make sure to dwell in areas that are natural to your dragon energies. You seem fatigue beyond what natural rest can provide. For the saurians of Natlan, this would be interacting with and immersing in phlogiston. I imagine, in the land of hydro … perhaps you need to go for a swim more often. It happens to koholasaurus who don't return to liquid phlogiston pools. ❞

“Serisouly! Seriously!” Cacucu squawks  

@ifadoc: ❝ no need to thank me, dude ... uh, Mr. Iudex. ❞ (Neuvi)

sitting on one of the sofas in his office to rest up after feeling rather unwell lately, he was surprised to see the saurian veterinarian from natlan willing to take a look at him. it was unusual having someone who understood draconic blood around to theorise possible issues with him, but it was refreshing given how his nature as hydro sovereign has at this rate washed out most of his humanity.

"your talents in this field do deserve praise, dr. de los lantos, i know i may not be the most usual case of dragons natlan has, but i am grateful you are able to assist in my need. i do feel bad that i am robbing you of a well deserved break from your field, however."

u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

woe shipping sheet be upon ye

Ifa’s voice line about Chasca is … short and makes me 🤔 because he states he cares about all his friends and he has a lot of things to say about them, and they in turn have a lot to say about Ifa, Chasca including, but all Ifa says about Chasca is two sentences about how her peacekeeping is helpful and that’s it.

I can think of two reasons why he seems so reluctant and 1) she has abyss connections and it’s not like he’s scared of her or thinks she’s a monster, but because Ifa’s parents died by abyssal infection and 2) I think he feels guilty about Chuychu’s passing and doesn’t want to impose or overwhelm Chasca.

Chuychu and Ifa were both doctors in the Flower-Feather Clan and his clinic’s sign use to say he deferred everyone who wasn’t a saurian to see her, but since she passed away, he changed his sign to say he’ll try his best to help both warriors and saurians alike, not to replace her, but to aide however he can.

( I also like to think he kinda had a crush on her but that’s my shipper googles and I think Chasca reminds him of her and it makes him sad 😞 )
