Lily's Prognosis

After a lengthy silence, Lily finally agreed. "Lily will visit the doctor, but it won't help. Lily is still dying."

You put your arm around her waist for support as you exited her room and headed toward the elevator. Lily was completely naked, but at this point, she didn't seem to care about her state of dress. She seemed feeble and she walked very slowly, but you didn't know whether it was due to her condition or if she was just acting that way. She even stumbled a few times, but thanks to her arm around your neck and your arm wrapped around her waist, she didn't fall. Inside the elevator, she turned toward you, put her other arm around your neck and rested her head on your shoulder. Eventually she whispered, "Lily thank Sky." It seemed like she wanted to say more, but instead she started whimpering. When the door opened revealing the fourth level, she pulled even closer against you, as if she was scared to exit. After several attempts to convince her to exit, you finally resorted to bending down and picking her up. With one arm supporting her from below her knees and your other arm under the small of her back, you carried her limp and naked form the remaining distance to the medical bay.

As you entered, you asked the doctor, "Can you take a look at Lily?" He motioned toward the nearest table, and you gently placed her into a sitting position atop it. Her shoulders slumped heavily and she remained silent. "She thinks she has something called the Withering," you added. You continued your facade of not knowing much about Lily's ailment. At this point, you didn't know who Orphic was. Although it was possibly the doctor, it could also be one of the other Greys who you'd seen in the lab, or someone else entirely.

The doctor had Lily turn and lie back on the table, but she kept her legs bent and spread as if she was expecting to be probed. Your Gargo dick twitched a bit at seeing her positioned that way, but you managed to keep your focus on the doctor's examination. Instead of using a probe, the doctor motioned for the external scanners, and immediately a series of light beams began passing over her from head to toe. He then examined readings that appeared on a nearby console. You looked over his shoulder at the screen, trying to get a glimpse of anything you might understand. A few readings made sense such as readings for body temperature and heart rate, but you didn't understand most of the other terms and numbers.

After a few minutes, the doctor turned and announced, "Based on these readings, Lily does not have the Withering."

Lily tilted up her head, blinking in disbelief. "Lily isn't dying? But Lily has pink hair turning gray! And spots and wrinkles!" she exclaimed. "Also feel very weak and stomach hurts!"

"Pink-haired Cunis are more likely to be affected by the Withering, but in your case, the gray hairs, spots and wrinkles are just natural side effects of getting older," he explained. "As for the weakness and stomach pain, it appears that you haven't eaten for over a day. You're feeling hunger pains, and you are in early stages of semen withdrawal."

You had been correct in your guesses that it was just natural aging, and that Lily was in need of food. Since meeting Lily, the pressure in your abdomen had continued to build, and it was reaching the point where you needed to unload it soon, or it might cause problems. "I think I can help with that," you added and motioned toward your semi-erect Gargo dick.
