[This was supposed to be private, but Tifa's uncoordinated flailing right now means it's just public. Her room is dark, with the blinds pulled and a pile of shapeless blankets over a mop of dark hair. She moans as one bare arm brings the NV into recording range.]

Nnnh. Sam, I...I can't make it into work tonight. I feel awful, my head is swimming and

Are you all right, Tifa?

[meteor_heart]

Nnnh...Vanille? Hi. [It's more of a croak then a voice, but Tifa's pale face surfaces to crack a smile. Her eyes are blood-shot with heavy black bags under them, and her whole skin has an unhealthy pallor.]

I think I caught a nasty flu. I was helping out against the wave of undead, but I don't remember a lot.

[She switches to video so Tifa can see her too, looking very worried.]

Oh, Tifa, you don't look very good at all! I mean you look like you don't feel very good. Want me to bring over some soup?

[meteor_heart]

[She offers another weak smile up.]

I look like I feel then. I'd love some company, if you don't mind other people. Kairi and Joe were going to come over too. It would be nice to see you, I'm feeling pretty useless really.

[Video]

[yay_us]

No, of course I don't mind! Joe's very nice, and I've not met Kairi but I'm sure she's very nice too!

Right! [gets up decisively] I'm on my way over. I'll be stopping for some soup on the way.

[Tifa sank back into the pillows with a pleased warmth in her chest. She liked Vanille, had since they'd met in the shopping mall. Having her over here would be nice, and it would be good to introduce the girl to other people too.

When the knock came she called out.]

It's open...

[action]

[yay_us]

[The door opened, and Vanille tipped half her body sideways through the threshold, looking toward the bed with her head tilted to the side.] Hel-lo! Are you sleeping?

[Apparently not, since she had called out. She slipped into the room, leaving the door ajar, and hurried to Tifa's bedside, carrying a shopping bag in one hand.] They didn't have chicken soup so I got split pea. The man behind the counter said it's the next best thing for being sick. How do you feel?

[action]

[meteor_heart]

Like somebody used me as a meat tenderizer, inside and out. [Tifa manages a weak smile around dry, cracked lips.] Thank you for coming by Vanille, I -really- appreciate it.

[action]

[yay_us]

[Oh dear, she doesn't look good at all. Much like she just described, in fact.]

Oh, that's no trouble! In fact...hmm, well, I think I'll just have to stick around until you feel better! You need someone to look after you.

((ooc: eons late but I'd still like to thread if you want to! C: ))

[action]

[meteor_heart]

Aww that's sweet Vanille, but you don't have to stay long if you don't want to. I'm not exactly great company right now you know? [She smiles weakly, shifting around in bed so Vanille can sit if she wants.]

[action]

[yay_us]

[She takes the unspoken invitation and plops down on the mattress, patting Tifa's knee reassuringly.] Silly, you don't have to be great company when you're sick! You just need to let yourself be looked after.

[action]

[meteor_heart]

Aww, you're a sweety. [She smiles, curling up and resting her head against the side of Vanille's leg. It's a little forward maybe, but she does feel -awful-.] Thanks for coming.

[action]

[yay_us]

[Vanille doesn't mind at all. Really, it feels just right to her. She pets Tifa's hair gently, doing her best to give comfort.] You don't have to thank me! We're friends, aren't we?

[action]

[meteor_heart]

Mhmmm, lucky for me we are. [She smiles up through cracked lips before laying her head down again.] Joe thinks I have some kind of zombie sick...

[action]

[yay_us]

Zombie sick? Oh, that doesn't sound good at all. [Looking around for some...ah! Vaseline will do. She hefts up the pot.] Want some? For your lips?

[action]

[meteor_heart]

Oh, please, that would be great. [She reaches out a trembling hand for the pot.] Yeah...I don't know exactly what that means. I think I got bitten during the big wave of Undead but...I don't remember much.
