Subject: Meggan's bloodwork
Hello Amanda,
got the results from Meggan's blood work this morning and I have a bit of a surprise for you. It seems she's rather older than she seems. She's started puberty, and is somewhere between twelve and fifteen years old, but I can't place it much better than that. The malnutrition's stunted her growth, somewhat, and has also inhibited her natural development.
She's as vitamin deficient as I expected, and she will need the vaccines, although it looks as though she's already had the chicken pox, which, given her age, is a blessing, as shingles are a dreadful, dreadful thing.
Let me know if you have any questions about her bloodwork, and when you two are ready to schedule her vaccinatioons. We don't keep thoes in stores, so I'll have to get them from Westchester Hospital.

Sorry, I was just sort of shell-shocked. I suppose there's no way of telling exactly, is there? Apart from cutting her in half and counting the rings? Bad joke, I tend to do that when I don't know what else to say.
I'm guessing the shapeshifting thing has something to do with it too. Sort of like Jake getting stuck as a bird - Meggan might be stuck in a younger shape 'cause that was easier for those bastards that had her or it was safer for her, or something. So yeah, once she's settled and eating regular and all the rest, there might be a change, yeah?
*adds 'talk to Moira about powers training' to the list*
Make an appointment for me so we can talk about this? Best we deal with all this early.
A.
Subject: Quite all right. I understand.

It's all right, Amanda. I know this is a shock. Believe me, I spent several minutes staring at the results, trying to figure out how they had gotten corrupted. And no, I'm afraid there really isn't a way to narrow it down much more than this.
I will schedule you for a meeting with me tomorrow, nominally at 10, but if you would like to come in earlier or Meggan or your school work is demaning you make it later, either is fine. And yes, speaking with Moira about her training would probably be a very good idea.
