[through chattering teeth]

It's s-surprisingly cold today. Even the tea...

[Housemates will find her curled up on the sofa with a large cup of tea and a blanket, shivering.]

[After Ginko's come and gone, we are going to assume Nephry ought to be resting in her own bed for a while. You can have the job of helping her get there if you wish.]

[And he will indeed, assuming no one else has done so by now. Feeling he'd overstep his boundaries if he carried her - she is married after all - Dist allows the woman to brace herself against his side as they walk towards her room together.

He hadn't been present during the "treatment", so Dist is more than curious as to how his friend is faring.]

Are you all right now, Nephry? Do...Do you still feel the effects of that creature? You aren't in any pain at all? Discomfort?

[she wouldn't appreciate being carried anyway; she likes to be as self-sufficient as possible, all the time. All she had to do was drink some medicine mixed with hot water, so while she is feeling better she's still pretty cold]

I'm sure I'll be fine. [note how that doesn't answer any of his questions, at all]

[Oh, he notices, and bites his lower lip to keep from pressing her further. Once they reach Nephry's room, Dist holds the door open for Nephry and ushers her inside politely.]

N--...All right. If you need anything at all, I'll have my journal open.

[she expected more questions, or for him to make her answer the first ones]

I could use something warm to drink, if you have the time.

[Dist had thought to, but bit it back. Nephry was an adult after all, and though he worried the most out of anyone - perhaps even Jade himself - he didn't want to press her buttons. He wouldn't be able to handle rejection again.]

Of course, excuse me a moment. [Dist returns not only with a steaming cup of mushi-free black tea, but an extra blanket for her bed, just in case she needed it.] Here you are. If...If you need anything else at all I--...I hope you feel well soon.

[her smile when he comes back with tea is faded, but genuine, and grateful. She can tell he's worried.]

Thank you, Saphir. I really appreciate your help.

[He smiles as well, though it seems a bit tired. Dist hands her the tea carefully before laying out the blanket by the foot of her bed.]

Of course. We...We're friends. [He looks away, and turns to leave, immediately feeling foolish.] Get some rest, Nephry. I'll check on you later, if it's all right.

Of course.

[But just before he gets out the door...]

Does it embarrass you, Saphir? ...Being friends.

[He halts, back to her and hand on the knob of her door. The question sends him for a huge loop, and he has to stare, wide-eyed, to search for a response. Did it embarrass him? ...No. Not with Nephry. She'd always been kind to him.

But--] Sometimes I wonder... [A sigh, as he opens the door to exit.] Get some rest.

Please wait.

[but she can't stop him if he wants to just leave.]

[Dist mumbles a soft apology, but doesn't stay any longer. There are just some things he'd rather not discuss, and Nephry did need to sleep. He'll apologize properly at a later date. For now, Dist just closes the door behind him, sighs, and goes to his room. He could use some rest himself.]
