Post of Non-zombie-ness

[notallworthy]

Tom has cleaned up Richard and put him in his bed. At the moment he's using the other man's bathroom to clean himself up after Richard's zombie incident. He doesn't expect Richard to wake up for a while.

Indeed, it's about an hour later that Richard rolls on his side and abruptly vomits all over the floor.

T: Typo in the first post. Brilliant.

"Richard!" Tom hurries over and begins to mop it up. "Are you all right?"

[jarndyceheir]

His voice sounds raw, but otherwise back to normal. "Lord... Tom... I feel... I had such a horrifying dream." Because no, Richard's mind can't deal with this right away.

"What was it?" Tom has finished cleaning up and moved to get him something to drink.

[jarndyceheir]

"I... I was dead, again, but this time I was here, still. And you... and Curio..." He looks at the hand which the finger fell off of, as if inspecting it.

"And brains?"

[jarndyceheir]

He starts. "What? I..." He pales. "Then it wasn't..."

[notallworthy]

"I'm afraid not." Tom pulls aside the bandage he put on his neck.

Richard, gets up, looking for a basin or a wastebin as he's about it be violently ill a second time.

Tom hands him a bucket.

[jarndyceheir]

He vomited long after his stomach was empty, then sank down to the floor, hands shaking a bit.

Tom sat next to him, rubbing his back. "I'm sorry."

Typist: I don't think my comment posted on the other but I vote for having them take the money and run away from the mob. (And Tom has to find out about Richard's habits...)

[jarndyceheir]

Richard shook his head. "I was the one who... Lord, Tom. Are you hurt much?"

T: Of course. Posted.

[notallworthy]

"Not much. You've got a good bite."

[jarndyceheir]

He puts his face in his hands, shaking a bit more now.

Tom tried hugging him. "I'm sorry. But you're all better now, right?"
