[Puts some water on, and starts digging things out her satchel]

Mm, you prefer grape or cherry?

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, like the actual fruit?

[Busy pulling a mound of blankets over himself.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

[Tosses a bottle of some sort of purple stuff at him]

Cold medicine. Crack that baby open, 'kay? Should help you sound less like warmed-over death.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Peers at the bottle and shrugs, then shakes it and twists the top until it gives]

[He takes a swig from the bottle - makes a face, and takes another.]

...this stuff's gross, dude.

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

That's how you know it's good for you. Here, you can wash it down with this.

[Comes over with a bowl of miso soup, still steaming; offers it in exchange for the bottle]

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[...takes it.]

Man, you really went all out.

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

[Shrugs, arranging the pillows into a better little nest behind him]

'S not the fancy kind or nothing. Not that it won't do the job.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Ducks his head a little, and leans back against the pillows, careful.]

Looks pretty awesome to me, fancy or no.

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

Taste it first before you start saying too much.

[Sets the cold medicine just outside the fort and heads back out to check on tea]

That enough blankets? I brought an extra, in case.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Takes a sip and swallows, with difficulty. It still hurts to get anything down, but the heat's nice on his throat.]

...s'good.

I'll take that blanket, too, if you got it.

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

You got the electric one plugged in?

[She comes over with an obviously Avante bedspread nevertheless, and drapes it unceremoniously over him--remembers the soup at the last minute and pulls back from going completely over him, letting it go around his waist instead]

...Try to finish that off. Gotta feed a cold, I think.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

Forgot to plug in the electric one. Maybe this'll be enough. S'pretty big.

[He takes another sip of soup, careful.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

[Goes back to mess with some more stuff in their makeshift kitchen again]

Give it a bit, see how it goes. 'Course you're gonna be cold if you keep squirming around.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

M'not squirming.

[He takes another sip, both hands cupped around the bowl for the heat. His eyes are glazed over a bit more than before.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

Keep still and drink your miso, then.

[She putters around a bit longer before poking her head back in, their thermoses from before hooked on her finger.]

...Man, you really look like shit.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

...mm?

Just tired, is all.

[He looks tired, too. More tired even than he usually looks, these days, and that's saying something.]

[He does take another sip of the soup, though.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

More than tired.

[Pauses, shifting her weight]

You feel like lying down, let me know.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

Naw, I'm doing okay. Just gonna - gonna finish up my soup.

[He blinks at the soup in his hands - sares blankly for a long couple of seconds, before he takes another sip.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

Okay... You feel like dropping soup all over my bedspread, you let me know. Preferably beforehand.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

Aye aye, captain.

...how bout you, you gonna eat?

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

Afraid I'm gonna steal your dinner?

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure you'd've done it already if you were gonna.

[Sips at the soup.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

I mean, I did, but something's telling me you aren't finding it that much of a loss at the moment.

[Settles near the entrance with her lunchbox, since of course she'd taken them along with all the other crap]

...Guess you wouldn't notice how bland this stuff tastes, at least.

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude. For real, you sure you don't want some soup?

I don't mind sharing.

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

Pretty sure you need the vitamins and I don't need the germs.

[Mugs at him and nudges against (what she's pretty sure is) his leg buried under the covers, comfortable]

'Sides, there's plenty, so don't sweat it. ...Unless you're 'sposed to sweat a cold. Probably should've looked that up.
