[New gloves poof into existence over her hands. With quick, professional movements, Lilith takes Hiyori's arm to steady it and swabs from wrist to inner elbow with disinfectant.
There's the prick of the needle. Blood fills the syringe to the 20ml mark. Then it's over except for the slight pressure of a gloved thumb over the entry point, to be replaced by a band-aid.]
[ she looked away during the process; she's not normally squeamish, but there's just something unsettling about watching your own blood filling the syringe. Once it's over, though, it's fine to see it. the speed of the process was a bit surprising, though ]
[She empties the syringe's contents into one of the test tubes, stoppering it and tucking it away inside a vest pocket. The nail clipper and plastic container are offered to Roc.]
Would you prefer to collect the hair sample, or shall I?
Oh, I'm sure you don't want to do that. [ that's gross, right? having to clip someone else's nails? at least unless you're a beautician; then it's your job ] I can do it.
[ carefully she trims back each of nails, first on her left hand, then her right, making sure that the clipped ends fall securely into the bag. when she's finished, hands the items over. ]
[ veeerrry carefully she will trim the hair into the baggie; she doesn't want it to come out crooked and to therefor have to trim off more to even it off. When she's finished-- ]
[ eyuuck. okay maybe this is a lot more gross than she thought? she's a little embarrassed to have to spit into the test tube, even if lilith is an impartial scientist, and as she does so she kind of... shields the tube with her hand so that nobody can see her do it. when she's finished, though, and as she turns the vial over, she has a totally unrelated question to ask-- ]

But there's no protest, just calm observation. She takes the clippers, but refuses the container, and now offers the scissors.]
You'll need that for the hair sample.

[ She takes the scissors and then gathers up her hair. How much is an inch exactly, anyway? Her eyebrows furrow as she tries to figure it out ]
Uhm... does this look about right?
[ she holds the open blades level at an arbitrary length above the ends of her hair. ]

There. Proceed as you will.

There.

Thank you. And....here. For the nails and saliva.

Lilith, do you know how to change your realm?
no subject
Yes, although the extent to which I can change it depends on how much energy I can afford to spend on the endeavor.
no subject
[ good to know; that probably means that the difficulty level should vary too, right? ]
. . .
Do you think you could teach another echo to do it?
