Sam knocked quietly on the door, then used her key to open it. "Cedric? How's he doing?" Her arms were full of magazines, orange juice, chicken broth, crackers, and tylenol.

"Good evening," he says, coming over to help her with what she's carrying. "He's just had some...dream. He didn't want to talk about it."

"God," Sam looked worried, handing off some of the things she was carrying. "He was restless last night, too."

He deposits what she's given him on the desk and then wrings his hands together.

"He was up to take a shower," Cedric says, scratching at the back of his neck. "And fell back asleep easily but something about that dream upset him."

"It's actually good that he was up to shower," Sam told Cedric as she dragged a chair over next to the bed, "it'll help keep his fever down. Did he eat or drink anything?"

Sometimes Sam thought she'd spent too much time in the infirmary.

He shakes his head and goes to stand on the opposite side of the bed. "Not while I've been here, no. He didn't seem to have much interest in eating. And you, how are you?"

"Tired," Sam sat down. "And I think it's more important that he stay hydrated than that he eat. Tea, water, juice, heck, even soda if that's what he wants. How're you?"

"I'm doing all right," he says, forcing a smile. "It's been an exceptionally long week and now this."

"Want me to stay and keep you company, or get out of your hair so you can worry in private?" Sam asked. "And what happened this week? Is everything alright, other than Jack?"

"Oh no, please stay," he says. "Can I pour you something drink? And nothing happened to me at all this week."

Which is the problem. He doesn't mention that though.

"You don't have to wait on me, Cedric," Sam said quietly. "And that's good, isn't it?"

"It's fine," he laughs and does indeed pour two glasses of whatever Sam wanted, la. "And it is. I haven't done much just to make sure I'm all right thus...nothing happening."

Sam took her glass and sipped, just for something to do. "That's too bad. Want to do something? I could get a deck of cards? We could trade our life stories?" She smiled innocently at him.

"Life stories?" Cedric asks. "I don't have much of one to tell myself."

"I was teasing," Sam told him. "And I bet you have more of one than you think you do."

Jack stirred slightly on the bed, then settled.

"No, I'm completely boring," he says straight faced. "Completely. It's a terrible thing to be this boring."
