RWBY – The madness of Lappland
The Hidden Truth 2

( Dr. Linzi's clinic . A few seconds after Blake left )

Looking at the peanut chocolate that Blake had left as a gift for her , Dr. Linzi was silently waiting a moment to make sure that a certain curious cat was not eavesdropping . There was an awkward silence and tension in the office , emphasized by the ticking of the clock . On one side of the desk sat casually Lappland , from her posture she clearly showed that she did not care too much about the atmosphere in the room .

Her legs were straight as she rocked on the back legs of the chair . Her tail was sticking out of the back of the chair , which had its support in the upper back , leaving Lappland's lower back unsupported . However, this allowed her tail to wiggle freely behind her in a weary dullness . At this time Lappland's hands were behind her head , showing the doctor her armpits and exposing her chest and bandaged belly .

 Across from her , Doctor Linzi sat with her leg cross on the other leg . Her back was straight and her shoulders pulled back . She sat with medical correctness and watched her gift with a calm look on her face . Which didn't sit well with her visibly tired face . Her hair, despite apparent attempts, were not arranged . Now they were simply pinned up in the simple bun , and many wild hairs were sticking out of her head . 

The dark circles under her eyes and clothes that had not changed since yesterday emphasized that the doctor had not even visited her home . And well , Lappland nose easily detected that the doctor did not even see the bath . And knowing the doctor , she knew that Lappland knew . But what could she do ? She stayed up all night at the office . And the reason for this was the girl in front of her .

Lappland: " Don't you like chocolate with nuts ? "

Asked Lappland , breaking the silence .

Dr. Linzi : " I can't say that I don't like it . I am simply allergic to nuts . "

Replied Dr. Linzi , putting down the chocolate next to her thermos filled with coffee .

Lappland : " If you don't want it I'll eat it . Just don't tell Blake or she'll be embarrassed and she's going to be sad . I'll just buy you something else . "

Said Lappland indifferently , shrugging her shoulders . Dr Linzi just sighed and moved the chocolate closer to herself .

Dr. Linzi : " I am allergic but not enough to die from a small amount . The flavor of nuts goes nicely with coffee and the chocolate itself is stimulating . So it will be useful ...... As , it looks like I'm in for a few sleepless nights .. "

Said doctor Linzi with evident fatigue . After that , she picked up her thermos to take a sip of coffee .

Lappland: " I really don't understand why you don't just accept payment doctor ? Isn't that what all business is about . "

Said Lappland , with a slightly noticeable irritation in her voice . Of course, she completely ignored the issues of Dr Linzi's fatigue . However, Dr. Lizni didn't look like she was going to feel sorry for herself either . Instead , she prepared to answer Lappland's question. 

Dr. Linzi: " I simply can not Lappland . And this is due to many things . But I won't dwell on that . Just know that I do not need payment from you . "

Said Doc Lizni , with a tired sigh , rubbing the root of her nose . 

Lappland: " Just saying . It would simply be easier for Blake . She is very concerned about it . You know how she is . "

Said Lappland shrugging her shoulders . Her indifferent tone , relaxed posture , relaxed face and closed eyes confirmed her calm demeanor . Indeed Lappland did not care too much about this issue . If Dr. Linzi wanted payment , Lappland would pay . But since Dr . Linzi refuses to accept it , then why bother ?

Dr . Linzi : " But let's start with why I told you to stay . "

Said Dr. Linzi moving to the point . Lappland hearing this opened her eyes , in which there was a dangerous glint .

Lappland: " Yes ...... we need to talk . "

Said Lappland staring at Doctor Linzi , who with calmness , looked into the eyes of Lappland . Which for that moment were becoming more and more cold and sinister .

Dr. Linzi : " You are very calm despite your apparent anger , Lappland . "

Said Dr. Linzi looking at Lappland with an appraising glance . Lappland nevertheless , continued to sit casually with her legs straight and her hands folded behind her head . Her posture was lazy , indifferent and detached . However , her gaze lingered on Dr. Linzi . A look behind Lappland's head would reveal her hands clenched into fists .

Lappland: " I am a fucking oasis of peacefulness doctor . Can't you see ?"

Said Lappland giggling , in a light tone although in the eyes , which she opened again to look into Linzi's eyes , there was nothing else as a denial of her calm . Lappland was like a volcano ready to erupt . Her pupils contracted , and her fangs threatened to expose from beneath her lips .

Lappland: " Fucking oasis of peacefulness !".

Repeated Lappland , this time furiously hitting the desk in front of her with her fist . Fortunately she controlled herself enough not to destroy it , unfortunately the doctor's coffee spilled on the desk . Dr. Linzi , however, already prepared for this, took the most important things from the desk before it happened . 

Lappland: " Was examination of Blake necessary ? "

Asked Lappland , when her blue as pure ice and silver as a cold blade , eyes stared at Dr. Linzi . Her eyes and the insane smile that showed her white teeth , would have made anyone back off by now . But Dr. Linzi looked at Lappland without the slightest emotional wavering . Well she was clearly slightly irritated by the loss of coffee , however there was no fear in her . 

Dr Linzi was understanding because she was one of the few who understood the girl in front of her . She is what she is not by choice but because of what was forced on her. And as if there wasn't enough suffering she didn't experience , there came this painful , fatal , disease . Therefore, instead of anger or fear , Dr. Lizni felt empathy and compassion .

 Lappland herself only found out yesterday, so Dr. Lizni was sure that Lappland may not yet be fully reconciled to the situation . That's why her normally already forgiving attitude , was copletely calm and submissive . Obviously submissive about Lappland's explosive behavior . Dr. Lizni is simply ready for more extreme behavior from Lappland.

Seeing this lack of reaction and seeing that Dr. Lizni is looking her straight in the eye , Lappland seemed to calm down . Clenching her teeth , Lappland looked at the mess which she created on the desk . Then she returned to sitting quietly and calmly . Her breathing, however, was uneven and deep , showing her still boiling emotions . In contrast , Dr. Linzi calmly got up from her seat and went to get towel papers to wipe her desk .

Lappland : " You promised not to tell Balke . She can not know sbout my condition . At least not now , as this could destroy her plans ."

Said Lappland with more self-control . But her hesitation about , how to deal with this whole situation was evident . However, again there was nothing to be surprised about . Not even 24 hours had passed since Lappland found out . And even in the few hours that she had , she didn't think about it that much because she was in a complete daze and bloody rage .

Dr. Linzi : " Lappland ........ "

Says Dr. Linzi , stopping for a moment to collect her thoughts and choose a good way to put her thoughts into words . 

Dr. Linzi : " I didn't really tell her anything Lappland and I only did what I had to do . Besides Blake is not stupid , and your situation is not very discreet . Sooner or later she would find out anyway . When you left the office yesterday we could still hide it Lappland . But look at you now and think . You are all covered in crystals . How are you going to live so that Blake doesn't know about it ? "

Said Dr. Lizni , pulling out the most obvious things , then she slapped Lappland in the face with these facts . And whether Lappland digest and accept them is now up to her and her mental state .

Dr. Linzi: " Lappland , understand that this matter is serious. Look what happened to you in just one night ! From a few crystals hidden under your skin , now you are covered with many crystals all over your body . A few crystals on your internal organs have also grown . Now think what I felt when, yesterday while I was treating Balke's hand I found a crystal in her wound . I had to examine her. Just for peace of mind . "

Said Dr. Linzi making Lappland freeze in place . She was crazy , often did and acted illogically or foolishly . However , Lappland is not stupid . In fact , underneath all the madness , there is an intelligent and quick-thinking , creative mind . To put it another way , Lappland is rather intellectual . That's why she instantly caught on to the meaning of Dr . Linzi's words and froze .

Dr . Linzi : " Don't think about it too much , I have confirmed that the crystal belongs to you . Thanks to the x-ray , I did not find any crystals in Blake body . There is also no indication of a crystallization process in her body . Unfortunately I found some of your " dust " in her blood ."

Said Dr . Linzi , making Lappland tense up again . By now Lappland was fully focused on Dr Lizni , waiting for her further words .

Dr . Linzi : " If I didn't know what to look for , I wouldn't have found an abnormality . The amount of your " dust " in her body is negligible . Really negligible , so much so that it does not matter . So don't worry , Blake is in no danger . For some reason the dust in her blood seems to be ...... Inactive .

Said Dr. Linzi looking at the silent Lappland .

Lappland: " However , the fact that " my dust " is in her blood , means that to some extent the dust in my blood can get into body of somebody else . "

Lappland said, understanding the implications of this discovery . After these words, she clenched her teeth and remained silent with her head lowered .

Dr. Linzi : " Yes , however, you don't have to worry about anything. What afflicts you , is not contagious . I've already checked this . I have done some quick diagnostics and I am sure that it is not any , virus , bacteria or fungus . It is simply a substance that must have entered Blake's bloodstream through contact of her blood with yours . "

Said Doktork Linzi , reassuring Lappland , who at this point was sitting in silence.

Dr Lizni : " Well that means it is contagious in a way , but still it is not something that is beyond control . As I mentioned Blake does not suffer from crystallization like you do . There is no sign of energy gathering . No excess heat . For now, it poses no threat to her . There is just some dust is in her blood and that's it . "

Dr. Linzi : " Many times the particles of normal dust enter the bodies of humans and faunus by inhaling it or accidentally ingesting it . Many times dust also gets into open wounds . This is normal when all technology relies on it . Small amounts of dust decompose harmlessly in the body . As for Blake ...... Her body should be able to deal with the amount that entered her body . Especially since , your dust is devoid of eneregi and appears to be a biological substance formed from your body . "

Said Dr. Lizni giving her observations and assumptions .

Dr . Lizni : "It is obvious under many assumptions . In the end there is always a " but " . For example, it may not have been enough time for something to start happening or there was no situation that triggered this condition . However, it may also be that only you can suffer from this disease. "

Dr. Linzi : " But personally, I speculate that it's mainly about something that triggers this condition . Something about you . Something you do , consciously or unconsciously makes your body started the process of crystallization . Now this something , only accelerates this process . As it happened last night "

Said Dr. Lizni , speculating .

Lappland: " Are you saying that there is some kind of trigger that stimulates my condition? "

Dr . Lizni : " Exactly . And something tells me that yesterday this something happened . And looking at your face I feel that you already know what I am talking about . Lappland tell me what happened again , and tell me when , crystallization started ?"

Asked Dr. Lizni , waiting for an answer . At that moment she was not in the mood for a possible lack of it . Lappland however seemed to be thinking about something . Of course , just as Dr. Linzi pointed out , Lappland in her heart already had suspicions . However, saying it out loud would make it a reality . After all, there were no other options . But if this is the problem ........

Dr. Linzi : " Lappland....... This could save you ."

Said Dr. Linzi , seeing Lappland's internal struggle. She knows that she should not press Lappland , however she had no other option . As a doctor, she knew that she had to do it for the sake of Lappland herself.
