This wasn't Dorion's first rodeo in the Hospital Wing. In fact it was their fourth. Luckily the Healer Internship carried on, but at this point Dori wasn't going to go and get attached. Especially after the heartbreak of Doctor Nurse Miss Featherstone Sir had left, someone that Dori was keen on seeing stick around. Doctor Nurse Sir Frogge was weird, but likeable. Doctor Nurse Sir Brumby was more of a bro that Dori trusted, especially since he had started the program that they grew so fond of.

Never mind the tragic attachment issues that came with being part of an intern program with frequent Professor flyers, they were still keen to welcome them the same way that they always had. With tea. But they were pleasantly surprised when they arrived at the ever familiar desk to the personalized redecoration that included- a pot of tea and an invitation to enjoy a cup. A small smile couldn't help but worm it's way onto their face as they placed the tin they had brought on the Nurse's side of the desk and relax into the plush pillows. Perfectly temperature tea poured into a cup as they sipped first, before adding sugar since they always preferred their tea incredibly sweet.

Dori would kick their legs and look around, patiently sipping and waiting for the Nurse to arrive at her desk.

Inside the tin, should she open it upon arrive was jasmine dragonball blooming tea (pack of 6) which, as the name implied, bloomed into a flower upon being steeped in hot water.

A little bit here and a little there. Everything had a place, and as Dusana pulled items out of the trunks she had brought with her, she cringed. She hadn't realised how many healing implements she owned, especially she thought now with a foolish shake of her head, that she was at a school. With a well stocked supply of everything she was to need in doing her job. Including assistants. One such helpful assistant quietly tapped her on the shoulder and mentioned someone sitting at her desk. Already? Surely Hogwarts hadn't grown that much more dangerous since her time as a student that someone was in need of medical assistance on her second day. But then again, it was Hogwarts. And medical emergencies would wait for no one. She pursed her red lips, patted herself down to remove any debris and turned to face her now occupied desk. She raised an eyebrow at the sight. The student, clearly older, didn't look in need of help. There was no trouble surrounding them. They were clearly enjoying a cup of tea, one of Dusanas own favourite past-times.

Cautiously the woman strode over to the desk, making sure to leave a wide berth as to not scare the student. She wasn't the tallest person in the world, or the skinniest, but she knew that someone coming up behind you would scare the whizzbees out of anyone.

Upon arriving at her desk, she offered a quizzical smile to the pain-free student seated across from her. Waving her wand, she poured her own cup of tea before settling down into her chair, her wand only a hands width away. She wasn't having a repeat of the Regan incident from yesterday. "Hello. I'm Nurse Sabo," she greeted them. She cast an examining eye over the student, who even had the gall to be swinging their legs under their chair. "You don't look to be in pain or in need of medical attention," she continued sardonically, "so I say it's a pleasure to meet you." She took a sip of her tea before glancing down at the table. "Oh! Is- is this for me?" She waited for the student to respond, but already joy was unfurling in her chest like a flower reaching for the sun. It had been an age since anyone had given her a gift that wasn't work related. Something about the tin spoke to her that it wasn't going to be new potion ingredients for Dusana to brew them said potion or two.

Dori seemed to perk up as Nurse Sabo rounded the corner and observed, very clearly, that Dori was perfectly ok and without need of medical attention. They quickly set down their tea and held their hand out to shake the Nurse's. "I know this is perhaps a bit too early to be coming in to inquire about the continuation of the healer internship, but I've been in it since it's inception with Doctor Nurse Sir Brumby. I was just wondering if you were going to keep it going, it's been quite an important part of my life here at Hogwarts." They paused, sheepishly realizing that they forgot a dire part of a first interaction.

"Sorry, I'm Dorion Anderson. I'm a fifth year Hufflepuff, and I use they/them pronouns. I do sometimes frequent the hospital wing as a patient as I am part of the sports here, currently a broom racer which hasn't brought me here yet! But duelling I was in here pretty often. Um- also yes, that is for you. I keep specific teas stocked for the nurse position specifically- since... um... there's been a few. And I usually come introduce myself. But that was actually my last pre-stocked one, so maybe? Maybe you'll stick around with us." A small blush scattered itself across the constellation of Dori's cheeks. "You're also very pretty, and this tea is so good what type is it?" They grinned, a compliment. A perfect end to a very intense introduction and request for her to potentially continue this program.

Dusana smiled at the teenager before them. What a pleasant surprise. She grasped the lid of the tin, and opened it to reveal tea. Beautiful tea balls. An audible gasp slipped from Dusanas lips and she glanced at the young student. "You gave my predecessors this? And they didn't stay?" They obviously didn't appreciate good tea. She muttered a quick Evanesco before conjuring a fresh cup of hot water.

Setting her wand down on the desk, Dusana grabbed one of the balls and placed it gently in her cup, watching excitedly as the ball bloomed outwards, unfurling to reach the sides of the cup. A metaphor for how she wanted this new step in her life to be. Something sweet, beautiful, able to fully become and be herself.

With the excitement over, she turned her attention back to the student. Dorion. She pursed her lips, pondering for a moment. "It's lovely to meet you Dorion. It's a," she paused trying to think of the exact word. Lovely wouldn't quite do. "Exquisite gift. I hope to stay on, if the school will have me." She reached for her tea cup. "I'm not quite sure about this Healers program, being so new. But I'm sure we could come to some agreement. Perhaps you could explain it to me?" She settled back, waiting for Dorion to explain. As much as she could find out about the program from written notes and other staff, it was always better to hear it from students themselves. The people she was supposed to be teaching.

Dori couldn't help but blush at the slight compliment. "Well- It's a different blend every time. Maybe this one will do the trick. Normally for the nurses I do something to help combat fatigue because I know how hectic it can get in here." They shrugged. "Me and my mum really love tea." Their mom made her own tea blends and sold them on a little Etsy shop that was a passion project of hers.

Dori's eyes couldn't help but widen at the absolute honor to explain the intern program to her. "No one's- told you? Oh goodness. Ok- there's a few of us at least, my friend Opeila is in it as well. She's another fifth year. Essentially we come in and help with the minor stuff. Things that require- like salves, or minor healing spells. Obviously is something is more intense we don't get involved. If there's downtime a lot of time I'll come in just to help with like organizing linens, or making very simple potions or something. It's given us a lot of good experience and practice with healing magic. I think mine has actually- really improved because of it." Dori had noticed over the years that their healing magic felt more potent Healing Sage I + II. They accredited it to this program. "I honestly don't know if I'll become a healer as an adult, I kind of want to be an artist? But my family has always been into healing, especially my grandmother so this has felt like a way to connect to that part of my lineage in a wizard way. I'm a muggle-born. But- I'll hope you keep us."

They smiled, hopping out of the chair. "I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I'll be around until you tell me I'm too much of a pest. But a lot of Professors love me, so hopefully you will too. Thank you for hearing me out, Nurse Sabo. I can tell everyone will love you." With a nod and a gentle setting down of their tea they headed out. Back to their dorm to hyperventilate about having to be so professional.
