My head is pounding like crazy. I can't even writeee properly.

Maybe just homewrk and all.

(( ooc: Understatement. He's worse than he says he is, not as bad as Cassie, but pretty awful still. Pale, jumpy, looks like he might throw up soon. Also, he'll be susceptible to direct commands from people, thanks to having taken Crane's potion. ))

[Tsu didn't read his journal. She just sees him in the common room looking really, really sick.]

Oh good lord Firo!

[She runs over, and puts the back of her hand against his forehead, and then each of his cheeks, to feel for a fever.]

Firo, what happened!? Are you all right? You look terrible!

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

[[ The first thing Firo does when he feels Tsu's hands on his face - feel because he had his eyes closed at the time - is jump, startled ]]

Ts-Tsu...?

[[ He almost flinched away from her touch, eyes wide ]]

I-I don't know. I really don't. It's like, it's like it just happened and I can't explain why and- and my head hurts...

[ Tsu's eyes flash for a moment in concern and assessment. ]

You're sick. You're not feverish, but you're definitely not well.

[ She leans in close, trying to see his eyes and if they're dilated or pinprick, and keeps a hand on his arm. ]

Did you eat or drink something lately tasted off?

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

[[ He's neither but his eyes themselves are wide and shifty, but it appears incredibly involuntary and he has to blink repeatedly to stop himself. He jumps again at the hand on his arm but takes a deep breath and forces himself to relax ]]

Not...Not that I recall...I've been this way-

[[ He frowns, in thought ]]

...Can't remember...

[Action]

[slug_healer]

[ Yeah... not good. What she sees makes no sense, symptom-wise. ]

[ She steps back, then uses both hands to tug on one of his. ]

Come on, Firo. Let's get you to the medical wing.

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

[[ He frowns a little, initially confused as to why he needs to go to the hospital but then it comes to him with an unpleasant rush of nausea and he quickly gets up, forcing himself to stay balanced. ]]

Alright.

[Action]

[slug_healer]

[ She lets out a small "ack" as he lists quite horribly, and uses her shorter height to some advantage as she pulls his arm over her shoulders and puts her other arm around his waist to steady him before they start walking. ]

Firo, tell me what's going on. Each and every symptom, however you can describe it.

[ Said in her best future-awesome-medic-authoritative tone. ]

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

[[ he can't help but chuckle at her tone before frowning as he thinks ]]

Dizzy spells...can't concentrate, really awful headaches, frustration for no reason... and something else but I can't remember, innit?

[Action]

[slug_healer]

[ She takes mental notes of these. ]

Nausea?

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

Oh, that one too-

[[ He stops and holds a hand to his head, groaning softly ]]

[Action]

[slug_healer]

Firo??

[ She stops when he does. Plainly she's worried, and just as plainly she's thinking furiously to try and string all of the symptoms together to try and figure what's wrong. ]

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

H-headache...

[[ he takes a deep breath ]]

Alright. I'm fine now.

[Action]

[slug_healer]

[ Times like this she REALLY wished she was a fully-trained Healer, instead of just starting to learn. ]

O-okay. [ She gently urges him to start walking again. ] Is light or sound making the headache worse?

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

[[ he begins walking, shaky at first ]]

Nothing...not really...mostly it's just stuff I do. ...does that make sense?

[Action]

[slug_healer]

[ She tries to encourage him to let her take more of his weight. She's pretty strong for a thirteen-year-old. ]

...Not really.

[Action]

[italianscanspar]

[[ he frowns, trying to concentrate on his speech ]]

It's like...if I move too fast...or think too much...
