Ah...

[As Fay talks, he tries to sound as normal as possible, but alas, his voice is hoarse and raspy.]

Meryl-san? I'm afraid I'll be unable to help at the soup kitchen this weekend.

[He pauses and coughs. It's one of those dry coughs that just sounds like it hurts.]I should be fine next weekend though, but I do apologize for cancelling on such

[dreamgranter]

Whaaaat? No soup this weekend? [/is a baby right back]

[big_kitty]

U-uwaaah... I'm sure Meryl-san will be able to find a replacement for me this weekend.

[dreamgranter]

But it won't be the same. It is Fay-san's assistance that makes the soup all the more delicious.

[big_kitty]

I apologize for inconveniencing Yuuko-san then~ I wouldn't want to get anyone else sick though! [Mmm, delicious hacking cough.] I'll be sure to make an extra special batch for Yuuko-san when I'm well again.

[dreamgranter]

Really?

[big_kitty]

Would I lie to Yuuko-san? [ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS?]

[dreamgranter]

Oh, I do think Fay-san is wise enough not to. [ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS.]

[big_kitty]

Then I suppose that's how she'd know I mean what I'm saying~

[dreamgranter]

I'll have to take your word for it, then.

Pray tell, though; how did you ever get so sick?

[big_kitty]

It comes with the territory of caring for a sick child, I suppose.

[dreamgranter]

Ah, the joys and troubles of parenthood. Can't say I'm personally acquainted with them. [Not by conventional means, at least.]

[big_kitty]

It's a small sacrifice to be made, but it's hardly a big deal!

[dreamgranter]

Well, people only ever sacrifice for something when it's worth it.

Is Hikari-chan feeling better by now?

[big_kitty]

Mm.

Much better now, thankfully. [He loves his not!daughter-chan.]

[dreamgranter]

That's good to know. She must be quite worried about you, though.

[big_kitty]

A bit, but she knows it'll be okay. She's in good hands with Kuro-sama and Sakura-chan for the time being.
