[the weather has been mild for a few days now, giving the ground a chance to dry up. This morning, Nephry thought this seemed like the perfect day to spend outdoors - it's not too warm yet in this village, and she has no real obligations here - and she even packed a picnic lunch to that effect. However, anyone who sees her headed off to enjoy that lunch will probably catch her in the act of a stumble or two, or even a shaky move to the nearest bench or equivalent place to just sit down.]

[[ooc: I know I failed at the clinic meeting post thing. School is getting kind of heavy for me right now but something will happen, promise.]]

Artes don't do anything for illness.

There are other healers there who can do something for you.

Something more than sleep? [she doubts it]

[A sigh. Why are they both so stubborn? He figures it would be easiest to compromise.] If you're still not well tomorrow, will you let me bring you to the clinic?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I'll consider it.

...I'm sorry for waking you.

[silversnowfall]

It's fine, Peony.

[if he sticks around long enough she'll just have to get up again anyway]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[But he wants her to rest. And him being there probably won't be conducive to that.] Can you sleep while I'm around?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[But she doesn't want to be sick all over her bedroom.]

Probably.

Then I'll stay here and keep watch, if that's all right with you.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I can h-hardly stop you.

[going to stop talking now and try as hard as she can to fall asleep again. And maybe she just won't be sick]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

You can always say no. [But he'll shut up now too, and let her get the rest she needs.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[it's almost no use now. She's feeling too sick to get to sleep]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[He'll just sit by her side, assuming that she'll be drifting off to sleep soon.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[well then won't he be surprised when she gets up and heads for the bathroom]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[He does look a bit taken aback, but he doesn't comment on it. Everyone needs to go to the bathroom, right?]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[well, it will be more of a stagger than a walk when she comes back. After a while. And then climbs right back into bed]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[Another frown. If she decides to get up again, he'll be accompanying her, no matter how strange it will look.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[no, at this point she's exhausted enough to fall asleep again, and she does. Peony or no Peony]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[He finds himself smiling affectionately when her breathing evens out. He'll just stay here for a little while - she never said she minded.]
