There was no response to his call, no indication that the woman had even heard. Even the click of her shoes against the tile had disappeared, as though the woman had simply left him there. Alone, with only his thoughts and the monotonously even drip of the IV fluid.
Gradually, though, the subtle hum increased in volume, as hidden in the shadows the doctor prepared the equipment for the next phase of the experiment, to be performed as soon as the drug had made its way through the dragon-boy's system. It should soften him up, so to speak, lay the foundations for what she intended to do. And it had the added side benefit of making him drowsy -- it was ever so much easier to do what she intended when he wasn't trying to whine or struggle.
For now, though, she just waited. And watched. She had no shortage of patience, after all, and a great deal of interest in the results of this experiment.
