Grim stopped turned around with a grin before he left. He couldn’t help himself. “I’ll tell her you said yes. Look, she’s very nice just really shy. She’s also super tall so you know... Plus she’s paying me two hundred for this so you know... she’s got means! Give it a crack!”
He cocked his head to the side. “How about I get a blood test if you go on a date with this broad? None of that other stuff... I guess you can have a urine sample. The uh color is normal for half-goblins so don’t freak out.”
She had told him he’d get extra if he agreed to a date. The guy should have been thanking him. Dating was a nightmare. Especially these days with all the online crap.

He sighed. . . Not really willing to be bribed on this. . . Before it occured to him. . .
Wait a minute. . . Hes met this guy before. .
". . . . . Wasn't there a point you stated you were not steve?" He asked.
"There was a half goblin i met some time ago who at first introduced himself as steve before at the last moment, stated his name was not Steve. "

Grim stared at the giant, there was a passing familiarity like a scratch at the back of his head. Maybe they’d passed each other on the street but Grim was sure he’d recognize this guy if they’d had met before. Especially if he’d let up about his fake name. That was oddly specific though, was there another half-goblin in town using his schtick! That wasn’t alright. He glared indignantly, already mad at this interloper.
“Nope, not me. What did this guy look like? Where did you see him? Not cool, going around saying you’re Steve. That’s my thing... heh Because it’s my name.”

Jedidiah:
He blinked before grabbing a mirror and showing 'Steve' his reflection.
"Your voice and heart rhythm are the same as the other one as well." He noted. "Eyecolor is the same. Height is the same. Teeth are the same as the other one. . . . Even the sentence structure you speak in is the same. " he added.

Grim shook his head, he definitely did not remember this man and it bothered him. He didn’t have a twin and one that used his fake name? Spoke like him. Nope. There was one logical conclusion he could come to.
“Fiine. Sorry, my name is actually Malgrim Albercroft. I am a private investigator and I apologize for being flat out drunk because I don’t remember you past this meeting. I just... it’s embarrassing so I used this name. I apologize for anything I said or did while drunk. Ignore any promises I made... They don’t count.”
Damn he’d have to work on that. Maybe he should develop a lisp while being Steve? He’d look into it.

Jedidiah:
He was glad the man told him a real name of sorts. . . He Hopes its atcually the lad's name. . . Then Mr. Albercroft started to mention drinking and not to trust him to keep word on anything he said. . . .he sighed.
"Its alright. . . .I know better than to hold a man drunk accountable for promises. . . They might be looser with what they say but it is against patient privacy laws for me to talk about or disclose anything about paitent records or being without consent nor in private conversations . . . " he explained.
"I still think you should at least consider doing some tests to know where you are health wise in some areas. " he replied. "Knowing now will help you figure out what you need to do to keep at a relatively healthy state rather than collapsing and discovering everything while in the ER. "

Grim nodded, so he had been drunk, that made sense. He felt a little better knowing this, otherwise he might be going senile or something. He looked suspiciously at the doctor.
” Right! Sorry if I said anything saucy... It has been like ten years since my last check up... How much will it cost me?”
His stomach reminded him of his other agenda.

Jedidiah:
"General check ups are $15 dollars. " he explained. "Bloodtests depending on what we are testing for do vary in prices. " he continued.
"It is up to you whether or not you use this time to figure out where you are health wise or not. . . But either way, it will be $15. " he stated. "You did come in under the false pretence of this being a medical emergency, and had I simply sent you to the ER, a trip to would of been at least one thousand dollars. . . And this would not include bed and room." He shrugged.
"We are, however a non profit clinic. . . I do not believe a family should go bankrupt because their child broke their arm. . . .full payment will still be expected; but it can be broken up over however long you need to pay it. We do not charge intrest. "
They still need to be able to afford to pay staff, pay for supplies and what the land taxes are. . . .thankfully water is pumped from the ocean with a system that removed the salt from the water. . . And they produce their own electricity through the closed system he built while building his house and clinic. . .
So some of the builds had saved them from some of the costs. . . They could litterally stay open and it not cost money to run empty for a day.

“Sure! Full payment of $15? Right? I think I can manage... As long as you don’t need a swab anymore.. Sorry ah it seemed like the best way to ensure I could speak to you.”
Grim was a little curious to see if this doctor was up to the task, goblin physiology was a little different to humans though he did share a healthy amount of human aspects as well. As his mum would say he was a bit of a mutt.

Jedidiah:
He raised his eyebrow. . . Theres better ways of contacting him then claiming a false medical emergency.. . Outside of potentially harming the patient harming themselves by making such a claim . .
Then again, theres a reason Doctors, nurses and other medical staff do not have more than first name on their name tag. .
"Alright. " he said, before gesturing towards the examination table. "If you would please have a seat. . . "He asked. "And please don't claim a medical emergency under false pretences, if you were to atcually have one, I would hate to see bitter results due to distrust." He sighed. . . .then again, most folks lie, just some medical staff do not push pass it and look for clues which can cost folks their lives.
Right.
A simple check up was merely that. Heart. Breathing. Eyes. . . Ears . . .tounge and mouth . . . .and that's basically it.

Grim sat down but couldn’t help rolling his eyes a little. It had seemed like the best way and nobody had got hurt. This guy needed to let things go. Perhaps he’d done something horrific while drunk that had pushed this guy against him. Who knew?
”Do as thou wilt doc, just be gentle okay?”
He grinned. No harm in poking the bear a little.

Jedidiah:
"I can only promise to do my best." he replied, walking towards the door and closing it for Mr. Albercroft's privacy. .
He could see the prodding but. . . he was somewhat use to it considering he was huge and intimidating. Poor guy probably thought he was going to hurt him or something of the sort. He made sure to make it obvious that the door is not locked, just closed. . .Not uncommon, again, given his size.
walking back towards where Mr. Albercroft was seated, he used the stethoscope draped around his neck, placed the ear tips in his ears and with the bell in hand, gingerly placed the diaphragm against his chest to listen to his heart. . .now he can listen to his arteries and veins through his body and it not seem weird. . . despite being already able to do so with the door now closed. . . "Alright, Mr. Albercroft, can you please take a deep breath for me?" he asked. "breathe in. . "
he waited for Mr. Albercroft to take a deep breath.

Grim took a deep breath and let it out wondering what the doctor was looking for.
“So uh do you usually have ladies throwing themselves at you? Must be nice to be so wanted. I mean I would go on a date with her but uh just not her type. I mean she’s not really mine either but I take what I can get... “

Jedidiah:
He quietly listened to his respatory system. . . sound. . abit gummed up. . causing the doctor to frown abit. . . listening to the heart and arteries. . . .it did not seem those held anything out of place health wise. . . He removed the diaphragm from his chest and took the ear tips out as Mr. Albercroft started to ask him and talk to him about dates or attracting mates? He was not paying too close attention. "I can't say that happens too often. . . .at work it is just business and business only. Rather a patient not believe or feel they are being taken advantage of just because of the rather vulnerable state some folks can be while dealing with medical issues or just check ups. " he replied. hopefully to the answer correctly? more or less he was only partially paying attention as he pulled a thermo reader and prepared it. "can you open your mouth and lift your tongue for me?" he asked.
If Mr. Albercroft did so, he would place the Thermo reader in his mouth under his tounge gently before directing him to close his mouth and hold it for a moment. He also looked on Malgrim's face for any signs . . . not too keen on the fact the guy has a mile of make up on his face. . .

Grim did as he was told. He couldn’t help but feel like this was a great way to shut him up. Honestly at this point he was just making conversation, his client had her answer. He would skim over the straight out no he’d given though. She didn’t need that kinda heartbreak, seemed like the pining type. Some people enjoyed crushing from a distance.
