11th Fairy Tale § Action/Written

Jul 09, 2011 15:51

[In House 7]

[It was very unusual for Jilly to go to bed early or to sleep in. There was too much to be done and she just wasn't the type to sit still unless she had a rather engrossing art project holding her attention. Yet, as Friday had come to a close, she'd found herself feeling...off. She'd gone to bed early, determined to sleep off whatever ( Read more... )

♦Jack Sparrow, ♦Archie Kennedy, fevers are the worst, !luceti, ♦Doctor McCoy, better than mallynaps, ♦Buffy, ♦Amelia, wings don’t make up for this, who needs sleep?

[ when he gets whiff of the coffee brewing in the kitchen, McCoy emerges from his bedroom. he smiles when he sees Jilly and apparently, his doctor senses aren't tingling quite yet. ]

Nice to see you've joined us in the land of the living.

[she starts a little. She really hadn't been paying enough attention to notice his approach until he spoke. She does try to manage a bleary smile, though]

I feel like I'm still working on that part. I didn't mean to sleep so late.

hippocraticly July 10 2011, 00:51:42 UTC

Sorry. [ he shrugs apologetically when she startles and moves across the kitchen to reach into one of the cabinets. ] I didn't hear you come in last night.

tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 00:54:55 UTC

[she shakes her head, quickly stifling a yawn, followed by a small grimace. That actually hurt. She'd be glad when the coffee was done, grateful for something warm to sooth her throat] I think I was home before you. I went to bed...pretty early I think.

hippocraticly July 10 2011, 02:28:40 UTC

That's not like you. [ McCoy catches that grimace and takes a closer look at her. ] Feeling stiff? Achy?

tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 02:39:57 UTC

I'm just tired.

[she knows that tone...] And a little....off. My head feels fogged. A little bit of a sore throat. But it's not that bad.

[and she was hoping the coffee would help with that]

hippocraticly July 10 2011, 11:52:23 UTC

[ it's a tone that everyone once feared living under house seven and he is seldom deterred and lifts a hand to press it on her forehead. he's taken aback by the small furnace burning beneath her skin. ]

Back to bed.

tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 16:54:47 UTC

[she's not expecting the hand, so she merely blinks at him as he checks her temperature....and then orders her off]

What? But....

[...her coffee] I just got up.

hippocraticly July 10 2011, 18:15:21 UTC

And now you're going back to bed. You're burning up.

tehoniongirl July 11 2011, 02:48:45 UTC

But...the mural. I told Archie I'd be there.

[it's not a strong protest. She's not even sure why feels the need to insist. It's just been so long since something has truly made her slow down...she's not prepared to just give up and do as she's told]

hippocraticly July 11 2011, 16:16:23 UTC

[ McCoy steps around the counter and places a hand on her shoulder. he isn't going to drag her back to her room, but his voice drops to a gentle insistence, that will hopefully coax her back to returning herself. ]

It can wait for another day.

tehoniongirl July 11 2011, 17:49:02 UTC

[she's wouldn't fight him, even if she was up for it. As he gently directs her away from the counter, she goes. After all, the idea of standing for hours and painting sounds anything but appealing at the moment.]

I'll let him know. Maybe tomorrow.

hippocraticly July 24 2011, 16:41:13 UTC

Maybe tomorrow.

[ McCoy echoes, but with little conviction in his voice. as far as he's concerned, she's grounded. ]

tehoniongirl July 26 2011, 02:06:35 UTC

...I don't get sick.

[it's not quite, but almost, petulant as she heads towards her room.]
