 Post 2 part 2 Fluttery Pegasi
Her hands were shaking as she picked up the other syringe. The closer she got to the Boomslang venom, the more they shook and Haddie had to put the syringe down and a take a few breaths before she could continue. Finally, when she felt ready, she picked up the syringe again. Her hands still shook but not nearly as bad. She could do this, she told herself. She'd get it right, and not kill herself with an overly venomous version of animal telepathy...
Right?
A strangled little panicked noise escaped Hadley as she drew the Boomslang venom into the syringe. 0.23ml... CARP! She emptied the syringe. That wasn't what she had been going for. She only meant to empty it a little, preferably 0.13ml... but instead all 0.23ml had escaped before she could react. Haddie drew more into the syringe. 0.16ml. Come on! Her hands were starting to shake a lot more now. Emptied. 0.04ml. 0.18ml... emptied. Haddie let out a small, frustrated sigh. Now that her hands were shaking a lot again, it was harder to draw just a pinch into the syringe than it had been. 0.3ml. 0.24ml. Emptied. 0.07ml. 0.13ml... Haddie paused. It was close enough right? Maybe as close as she was gonna get it to 0.1ml... but... she had an inkling that was just gonna get her poisoned.
Haddie emptied the syringe and set it down. She would take a minute or two to recompose herself before trying again.
