Suriel's fur stood on end as Ikaria came closer with that sharp object. He wasn't going to risk getting cut open for wanting to skip a class. Suriel jumped of the examination table and ran over to Ikaria and tightly wrapped his arms around her.<br/>"I'm not sick! I'm not sick!" He wailed, "It was all a joke to get out of class! There is no stomach ache! There is no illness! I don't need an operation! Please don't cut me open!" He said it so fast that the words almost fused with the next. He looked up at Ikaria through tear filled eyes. "I'm not sick! I'm not sick!" He hugged his body against hers and trembled in fear. Tears rolling down his cheeks. "I just wanted the day off that's all." The words barely audible as he mumbled them into her scaly skin.
