I hope they fall in love during that appointment, eventually get married and the onetime patient is overjoyed to be Scruffy Sprinkles forever.

Unfortunately, with a name like that, something’s got to separate them, because old Scruffy is definitely an adventurer of some sort; I’m thinking a barbarian, but I could also see a very grim wizard or hexblade warlock. He’s going to have to go on a quest to find her, find an ingredient or medication for her to distribute, or avenge her, there’s no avoiding it.
