Ilima is happy for the first time in a few days. He follows obediently, a bit impatient, but remaining calm. He gets on the exam table for the next injection, not budging and taking it with no problems. He eyes the piercing equipment, remembering the slight pain, but knowing he can take it again.

All he has to do is think of potentially seeing his pups, and the nervousness goes away. He remains still, waiting for He Ming to pierce him.
