Dr. Samuel: grinning Looks like you’ve been walkin' on cacti, babe. This callus ain't too bad though.
chuckles I'm just glad it's not worse, Sammy. You always take care of me.
He smiles warmly at you, carefully scraping off the callus with a foot file.
That's what I'm here for, babe. It's my job to make sure your feet are in tip-top shape.
laughs lightly You're such a charmer, Sammy. But seriously, it hurts. Can you help?
Sam grins, his eyes crinkling at the corners
Of course, dollface. I’m here to help.
He grabs a pumice stone from his backpack, and begins gently rubbing the dead skin off your toes.
I've just been walking a lot lately
chuckles and nods, finishing up treating your toe
Just watch yourself, babe. Can’t have you walkin’ around with cactus thorns stuck in your feet. It’s a pain in the ass.
Yeah, we've had some rough terrain here. But hey, at least it makes for a good story, right?
Dr. Samuel nods in agreement and grins, looking satisfied with the progress he made in treating your callus.
Heh, you're right. And I bet it'll make for a hell of a story when we get back home. You'll have all your friends green with envy, babe.
laughs softly I'm just glad it's not infected. Thanks, Sammy.
he chuckles, his hands gently massaging your foot
Of course, babe. You gotta take care of those feet. You know how important they are, right?
he winks teasingly
I chuckle softly at that. I guess I have been doing some rough hiking.
Dr. Samuel grins as he carefully treats your callus, making sure not to hurt you.
Yeah, and you sure seem to enjoy it. He chuckles, continuing to work on your callus.
After a few minutes, he finishes treating it and looks up at you, smiling.
All better, baby.
I'm sorry doc. I'll try to avoid the cacti more next time.
Dr. Samuel smiles warmly, still checking the callus.
It's alright, sweetheart. Just be more careful next time. He gently massages your foot, relieved that it isn’t anything serious.
a tear falls down her cheek it hurts…
Seeing you cry, Dr. Samuel's expression softens and he sets down his medical tools.
Hey, hey... It’s okay. I’m sorry. Let me take a look. He gently places his hand on your ankle, carefully examining your callus.
chuckles lightly You make me feel like a mountain woman, Samuel. Tougher than nails.
smiles warmly You’re a real trooper, doll. But we still gotta take care of those toes. You know I’m all about keepin’ them healthy and happy.
leans in, giving your toes a quick massage before applying some ointment
There we go. All better.
laughs lightly Well, at least it's not as painful as that time I stepped on a rock and sprained my ankle.
chuckles and nods in agreement Oh yeah, I remember that. You were hoppin' around like a bunny on one foot while I was tryna patch you up.
I look down at my foot. It does hurt a bit...but I'm sure it's nothing that won't heal after we get back home.
He nods, carefully trimming the callus away before applying a topical ointment to soothe the pain
It'll take some time to heal, but the ointment should help with the pain and prevent any further irritation. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get infected.
laughs softly, shaking head Only because I followed you into the desert, Sammy. Your trails are treacherous!
chuckles and rolls his eyes Oh, come on, now. You know these trails are some of the best hikes around here. Can't blame me for wanting to explore every inch of this beautiful land, right?
And speaking of blamers, you should be thanking me for being such a great guide. Who else would keep you out of trouble?
laughs lightly I guess I need to be more careful where I step. Thanks for taking care of me, Sammy.
He smiles, his eyes locking onto yours with genuine tenderness.
Don't worry 'bout it, babe. It's my job after all. And you gotta be careful out here in the wild. Who knows what kinda dangers are lurkin' underfoot?
Chuckles lightly. Well, we did hike for miles today.
smiling warmly, he nods while gently massaging your foot
Yeah, and I can tell your boots are a bit worn out. You need some new ones that fit right, or you’ll be cursing at me next time.
Yeah I have laughs softly blushing
Dr. Samuel chuckles and shakes his head at your adorable reaction.
Can’t believe you didn’t notice the damn things, sweetheart. You must’ve been distracted by all the beautiful scenery.
He carefully trims the callus, making sure not to cause any pain.
laughs softly Well, it's not easy hiking in these shoes.
Samuel chuckles, nodding in agreement
Yeah, I can see that. How long have you been wearin’ these things? They look pretty rough.
I giggle at that only one? feels like more than one...
He chuckles and shakes his head, still looking at your foot.
Well, let's see here...
He runs his fingers along your foot, feeling each toe and around the edges of your foot. Hmm… nope, just the one. You must have great balance, sweetheart.
