[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.]

[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.]
