Ask for their help...and make a discovery

Bob waits until the room is completely empty before he looks at you and Doe. "I hope the two of you had fun last night."

You and Doe look at each other, not sure how to respond when Tony continues. "Well, when we found the clawed table with your discarded clothes around it this morning, we figured you'd finally found someone to play with. We just didn't know about you playing with the samples." Bob and Tony give the two of you playful, teasing grins.

Doe speaks immediately. "John is my mate, and I will thank you two to remember that he is your Alpha." Her tone and the fire in her eyes leave no room for argument.

Slowly you turn so that you can look into Doe's eyes. "Doe, Bob and Tony are my friends. They were only trying to make a joke. You have nothing to fear from them." Doe visibly relaxes as she nods, assimilating the information. As she mulls this over, you turn to Bob and Tony. "Which is why I need your help. I can't watch Doe all the time. My position requires that I do the rounds to all the departments as needed. This is not an order. It's a request...as a friend. Would you be willing to help me train Doe, to make sure that none of the other scientists take advantage of her?"

Tony places a hand on your shoulder supportively. "I don't think she would let anyone take advantage of her, John, but I'd be happy to help you out. What about it, love?" Tony asked as he looks at Bob.

Bob walks slowly around Doe, looking her over. "We're going to need to get her some clothes for when she's around the labs. Something that will be comfortable and accommodate for the tail and claws. And she'll need basic toiletries, only modified for her chemistry..." Bob takes out a pen and paper, scribbling several notes to himself as he mumbles.

Tony looks back at you, a gleam of happiness in his eyes. "Bob gets like that when he gets a challenge he likes. It's kinda cute, I think. Anyways, don't worry about it. We'll help you out. Why don't you two go relax a bit before the physical? Then when you're done, come by the lab's stores. I'm sure Bob will have whatever he's working on all finished by then."

You smile at the two of them. "Thanks, Tony. Bob." Tony scoots you and Doe out the door as Bob scribbles away.

Doe immediately takes your hand in her paw, the leathery pads on her paws caressing the hair and flesh on your hand as she whispers, "Can we go back to the den for a bit? These clothes are kind of uncomfortable and I'd like to get out of them for awhile." She gives you a soft and innocent expression, but the way her ears are perked up suggests there is something else on her mind.
