After taking what felt like the world's longest shower, trying to wash of the feeling of ick that had permeated everything since almost two weeks ago, Anakin pulled on a pair of clean pants, drank a glass of water, and checked his messages.

Five minutes later, having finally gotten through them all, he was making a call. "Pick up, pick up," he murmured.

She did, almost immediately. "Anakinlukehi?" she asked, fumbling with her phone.

Anakin smiled to hear her voice. "I didn't mean to worry you, my love."

"Oh my god." Rory remembered how to breathe. "Where where where have you been? I've been so worried."

"The island cut us off," Anakin said, settling back against his pillows and trying to figure out how to explain what had happened. "There was a bit of an epidemic."

"You're okay? Everyone's okay?"

There was a small pause. "We lost one of the freshman," he said very quietly.

Rory's breath caught in her throat. "Oh no. Were they...did you know them, honey?"

"Does it really matter?" Anakin asked tiredly. "I felt him leave us and couldn't do anything to stop it. He wasn't in my class though, no."

auroryborealis November 17 2007, 08:13:01 UTC

"I'm so sorry," she said quietly. "So, so sorry."

Anakin cuddled a sleepy Vladdie on his lap. "I need to see you," he said. "Flip the thingie."

Am exhausted, fretful-looking Rory was looking back at him momentarily. "Hi. Hi Vladdiekins."

sith_happened November 17 2007, 08:23:12 UTC

Anakin's heart twisted in his chest, though he didn't look any better. "Haven't you gotten any sleep, love?"

auroryborealis November 17 2007, 08:27:42 UTC

"No," Rory said flatly. "I didn't know why I couldn't reach you."

sith_happened November 17 2007, 08:29:50 UTC

"I'd give just about anything to be there," he murmured.

auroryborealis November 17 2007, 08:35:13 UTC

"Are you okay? You look like hell."

Sleep deprivation did wonders for Rory.
