"It was... interesting. Let's just leave it at that," Alicia somewhat agreed with him, though maybe there was something to what he was saying and she just needed to get used to this new combination of tastes. Only time would tell, and still she had plans for something else for dinner tonight.
Looking down at the bowl that Charlie had handed back to her all she could do was shrug. "Alright," she gave him, "I'll see if I can find someone," and hoped that he was right in his estimation of his stomach's strength. Although it had been a pleasant experience Healing him, she didn't want to see him back in here as a patient anytime soon. His smile brought forth one on her lips, and as he spoke again, she nodded and blinked slowly. "I will," she promised him, "You have a good day, too, Charlie," before she closed the door behind him as he left.
Once alone in the examination room, Alicia leaned back against the door, her face screwed up in a grimace of embarrassment as one had kept a tight grip on the bowl of yoghurt and the other was pressed to her forehead as if to erase all memory of what a fool she had just made of herself while she slowly slid down until she was sitting on the floor. "You are so pathetic, Spinnet," she chastised herself. "Real professional. Right!" While it was nice that not all people were complete strangers here, comforting even, it was still no excuse for the way she had behaved while Charlie had been in the room, and Alicia felt, more than anything, like she had the first time she seen him at school and she hadn't been able to do anything but stutter, though she failed to even recall why she had attempted talking to him in the first place. "Suck it up, Spinnet," she sighed and before she knew it, a spoonful of yoghurt had made its way to her mouth. Great, now she was comfort eating.
With a groan Alicia floated the bowl to the counter and got up. Quickly she cast a cleansing Charm on herself and picked up her datapad. No matter how much of a fool she had made of herself, there were still patients to see.
