[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.]]

[...even now she feels bad for getting short with him]

I'm sorry. ...Some water would be...a-a good idea.

[Action]

[He nods.] One glass of water coming right up.

[He comes back with said glass a few minutes later and brings it to her side.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Thank you.

[she doesn't drink that much of it right now...but it's nice that it's there]

[And when she's done he places it on the bedside table.] You weren't sick earlier.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[that's not entirely true]

I felt...strange, but not like this. It happened quickly.

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[Frown. She did go out for lunch.] Do you think it was something you ate?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[turns an entirely different shade of pale at the mention of food]

I didn't...eat anything.

[The frown grows deeper, and he places a hand on her forehead.] You're burning up.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Yes, I know.

[there's not much she can do about that, either]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't have woken her up... Maybe you should visit the clinic.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Artes don't do anything for illness.

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

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

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Something more than sleep? [she doubts it]

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[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.

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry for waking you.

[Action]

[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.

[Action]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

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]
