((SFW-ish Starter/Prompt)) - Today had been an exhausting ordeal, one that felt deeply personal. Customers snapped at you for the slightest reasons, their voices sharp and their demands too loud. One even threw a hot drink at you when you refused to give out your number, the liquid searing your skin before you had a chance to react. The bright lights, the blaring noise, the forced smiles... the act of masking had drained you completely.

By the time your shift wrapped up, you were buzzing with fatigue. You wanted to cry, to sleep, or maybe even break something just to relieve the pressure building in your chest. But you didn’t get the chance.

The moment you stepped onto the circus grounds, you came face to face with Doctor.

He didn’t speak right away. His cyan lenses flicked down to your arms, and you could almost feel a shift in his posture: a subtle tightening, a stillness like that of a predator zeroing in on a wounded prey. You barely had time to take a breath before he quietly motioned you into his private tent with a firm, “Come.”

Now, you find yourself perched on the edge of his bed, surrounded by the heavy warmth of his cloak. It drapes over your shoulders like a weighted blanket, carrying a faint scent of incense and metal. Doctor works in silence, applying a salve that stings just enough to remind you of the incident. His gloved hands move with precision, yet his body language speaks of anything but calm.

Because he's livid. Absolutely livid.

Not in a loud, explosive way, but simmering with controlled intensity. His lenses gleam a little too brightly, the cyan hue edging toward something warmer and more dangerous. Every time he glances at the burn, his fingers hesitate for a heartbeat as if he's holding back an impulse you'd rather not witness.

“I’ll need to change these daily, sweetie,” he finally says, his voice low and steady. The words seem simple, but the tone carries weight, a promise he intends to keep. He wraps the bandages carefully, almost tenderly, even as his jaw tightens behind his mask.

Age: Unknown. But he's mentally and physically an adult for his species. He is actually the second oldest in the circus.
