Yamazaki-san? If you or someone else could go to the clinic and possibly get me something to cut down a fever, I would be most obliged. But don't worry! It's nothing very bad. I think Saizou tracked something in with him the last time he was out. Silly pig. [There's a muddy hoof print on the journal where

[The other Yamazaki is at Okita's door soon enough, carrying a tray. Not medicine -- she'll leave that to Susumu. But tea and sick-person food are good enough for her.]

[ahappylie]

[Wow, they really are alike. Okita is probably still in bed because there is no way in hell Susumu would let him out of it. Although Saizou is now off his back and instead under the covers, snoring. Okita is trying to see how long he can poke Saizou's nose before the pig wakes up.]

[cookingninja]

[What were you expecting, silly? She'll be polite enough to tap on the door, but waits only long enough to be certain there's no immediate objection before entering.]

Ah, Okita-san. I brought you something to eat.

[ahappylie]

[Not an invasion, but it's cool. He doesn't mind having Ayu-food. =3= ♥ The smell of it wakes Saizou up, though, and the pig wiggles out, popping his snout out from under the blankets.]

Oh, thank you. I didn't think everyone would respond so quickly.

[cookingninja]

[And she moves over to the bedside, glancing at a chair out of place and feigning complete surprise that someone else has been here.]

Everyone else?

I just thought you might want some tea, since it's been getting cold lately.

[ahappylie]

Well, you and one other so far. And thank you. That's very kind of you.

How have you been, Ayumu-san?

[cookingninja]

Mm, well, it's the least I can do. Even if my tea can't compare to Tetsunosuke-kun's.

[And she sets the tray down beside Okita, absently shooing Saizou away from the covered dishes that somehow managed to appear on her tea tray. At the question she glances up again with a smile.]

Oh, I'm fine. I've just been watching all the new arrivals lately... there are so many, and so different, too.

[ahappylie]

[He laughs.] No offense to Tetsu-kun, but your tea is much better.

[The pig grunts and is shooed away, only to burrow back under the blankets with only his snout showing.]

There are, aren't there? It's so exciting, seeing all the new people come.

[cookingninja]

But none that we know this time. Is it odd that several of us appeared at once?

[ahappylie]

It is a bit, yes. Nagakura-san said he'd been here for almost a year before i arrived and he'd been alone that entire time.

[cookingninja]

Hmm.

[She considers that a moment longer, then smiles and offers him a cup of tea.]

Well, at least no other friends were trapped here.

[ahappylie]

[He takes it with a smile. Saizou is pouting from under the blankets and snorts.]

Yes, that's good. It'd be a shame for all of us to get stuck here.

[cookingninja]

Yes. And it would be a shame if those of us already here didn't take care of themselves and got sick, wouldn't it?

[ahappylie]

.....Riiiiiiight.

[Sipping that tea now, kthx.]

[cookingninja]

[And she just smiles, completely innocent and all that. So glad he agrees.]

Don't worry about the dishes, I'll come back to get them later.

[ahappylie]

[Saizou pops out again and sits in front of the tray.]

I'll be sure to set them by the door for you.
