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

I don't mind sharing.

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.

Eh, we'll figure it out. People -

[Please hold for this spate of ugly coughing to pass. He manages not to spill the soup by balancing it on his knee for support, but only just.]

- people been getting sick forever, just about.

Dunno if we wanna get into the pros and cons of being sick in Heian times or something, but sure. Germs're survivors, they did a good job.

Won the evolutionary jackpot.

[He takes another sip of the soup, but he is decidedly dragging, by this point. His eyes slip closed for a blink, but it takes them a couple of seconds too long to open again.]

[He honestly made it further than she was expecting, and she reaches over to take the bowl from his hands, gentle]

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

...mmm?

[He manages to get his eyes open again, with effort.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

Mmm.

[Shakes her head and lightly pushes him back into the pillows; sets the bowl outside the fort if he'll stay put for it]

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He makes a sleepy sound when she presses him back against the pillows - doesn't fuss when she takes the bowl.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

[She sets it safely down, then returns, pulling the covers up more snugly around him]

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He murmurs something not quite comprehensible, soft and questioning - reaches out a hand, without opening his eyes, to grope vaguely toward her.]

Re: day 14x(?)

[unbr8kable]

[Takes it, guiding it back in towards his body, humming something like reassurance]

Re: day 14x(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He settles at the touch and at the sound, letting his hand be guided. Then he nestles into the blankets a little more, with a soft sigh, and finally goes still.]

[Brushes a hand through his hair, light, then leaves him to sleep best he can]
