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?

What's the matter?

[voice] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 00:49:11 UTC

I've been grounded.

[sick or not, there was still enough energy in her to joke a little]

I've caught some kind of bug or something. I just need a little sleep, is all.

[or, you know, a couple weeks of sleep. Same difference]

[voice] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 00:52:19 UTC

You've caught a what?

[voice] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 00:57:07 UTC

A-

oh... a cold. Or something. Not an actual bug. [she doesn't generally get fevers with a cold, but there's no point in making a fuss]

[voice] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 01:02:15 UTC

Oh, well. Would you like me to bring books, then?

[She did this for him, so.]

[voice] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 01:09:05 UTC

Actually... [there's a bit of a yawn, followed by a grimace at the ache it causes. Stupid sore throats]

If...if I described it, do you think you could see if they have any pochade boxes in the store? I've been meaning to look for one for ages, but...I never got around to it.

[voice] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 01:13:59 UTC

Only describe it and it will be yours.

[voice] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 01:22:16 UTC

[that gets a laugh. You are the best of friends, Archie]

It's a box with a space for holding paints in the bottom. And, when you open it, the lid is an easel. So you can travel and still paint.

...Or sit in bed and paint. [as the case may be]

[voice] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 01:38:02 UTC

I'll see what I can find, then.

[voice] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 01:43:48 UTC

Thanks, Archie.

[followed by another yawn. She doesn't understand how she can be so tired]

[action] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 01:51:05 UTC

[Probably a little over an hour later, there's a knock on Jilly's bedroom door.]

[action] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 01:57:58 UTC

[she's been dozing off and on throughout the afternoon, so it's a rather sleepy murmer that answers the knock] Come in.

[action] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 02:33:57 UTC

[Archie slips in, smiling softly.] Forgive my tardiness. Here. [The box she asked for, and a thermos of hot chocolate. When Archie makes hot chocolate, he makes it the proper 18th-century way. He's pretty good at it, too.]

[action] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 02:49:02 UTC

[disheveled would be a good word for her appearance...though it probably wasn't a far cry from her normal look. She does brighten seeing him, though, pushing herself up into a sitting position]

Archie, you are - in fact - an angel. Thank you.

[action] noprevaricating July 10 2011, 02:54:39 UTC

[He sets both items on her bedside table and smooches the top of her hair.] This is most excellent news. I shall go at once to strike down the Third Party single-handed. Then I think I should appear to the leader of the Malnosso in a dream.

[action] tehoniongirl July 10 2011, 02:56:08 UTC

No striking. There's been way too much of that.

...I'm sorry your mural will have to wait.
