She's never liked doctors.
Ever. She hated the smell of the offices, the stethiscopes, the needles, the popsickle sticks, the cotton balls and swabs, the little device they stuck in the patient's nose and ears, the feel of rubber gloves... Ugh.
Deep down, even child Lottie knew this was because doctors had failed to save her mother. She had later found out from Big Daddy that he brought in numerous doctors too, but it didn't matter. Her mother was taken from her anyways.
"Hi there, doctah..."

"I jus' wanna know about you. I'll go first. Tell you a little somethin' about me. When I was a kid, growin' up on the Kansas plains, every autumn those leaves would fall and it'd be beautiful.

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. DING.
"What?! No way! What a small world!" Holy keysmashing, Batman!
"And yes, she's still th'bes' cook t'evah walk N'ahlans, though not too many people know that!"

He was curious about Tiana, mostly because he'd heard she was up here. Hadn't seen her yet, and the girl was his niece! Not even a hello.

After all, Lottie shared a room with Tiana, and the only real time they spoke was when they wished eachother goodnight, or had a question about where they placed a certain belonging.

He knew he hadn't been around, but hey, Uncle's got a right to be protective.
