"I'm certain that we can get you well-informed by that time." If he had to, he might even have Eli show Astarion a thing or two. The man was more savvy than Thrawn when it came to these things, and without him, Thrawn wouldn't have made it to Admiral as quickly as he did.

"Fear not, wooden stakes are only used by gardeners in most worlds." He pulled out his commlink. "We're ready for you, doctor."

A few minutes later, the woman from downstairs entered the room, setting down her bag and putting on gloves. She got out a few tools, and her datapad, before approaching Astarion. "Hold still, please."

Thrawn stood by and watched as the doctor lifted the corner of Astarion's lip to look at his left fang, and then did the same to the right fang, taking notes on her datapad. She then coaxed his mouth open to gaze at his other teeth, followed by taking a swab of his cheek for DNA cataloguing. Taking a sample of saliva from Astarion, she put it through a handheld scanner and looked at the results on her datapad.

"Interesting. His saliva has an anticoagulant," She said. "And some kind of numbing agent."

"Fascinating," Thrawn stated, hand going to his chin.

The doctor then brought out a small plastic device, with a hole big enough for a finger. "I'd like to take a blood sample," She said to Astarion.
