Oh...my head... Whatever was in the air ruined my sinuses...I can hardly breathe.

...I don't even want to think about what I did. And said.

Ngh...I need to go lay down...

[tread_the_earth]

...I can't say that was the greatest of ways to make use of your heart.

I'll find a humidifier.

[vi_schemer]

No...I don't think so either...

No need. I'll ask the closet.

[tread_the_earth]

By your own words, you should be in bed.

Now, Zexion.

[vi_schemer]

...

Fine.

[tread_the_earth]

*Arrives in a short while later, holding a humidifier and a few small towels; he spends a few minutes setting the items down and beginning to boil some water before walking over to the bed with the humidifier*

[vi_schemer]

*Holds a cold washcloth to his forehead, sitting in bed and trying to ignore the headache. Stupid caterpillar. He looks up as Lexaeus enters his room, glancing at the humidifier briefly*

Thank you.

[tread_the_earth]

Hm. You aren't suffering from anything other than the headache, are you?

*Sets up the humidifier near the bed, briefly leaving to fetch water to fill it with*

[vi_schemer]

No, nothing else. Whatever that...caterpillar was smoking turned everyone into lunatics. Myself included.

*Sniffs a little, tilting his head back*

[tread_the_earth]

I'll consider it a blessing I was outside at the time, then.

*Puts one hand to Zexion's forehead, and the other to the side of his neck*

You're a little hotter than usual.

[vi_schemer]

Yes, I would too. The things that went on... *Chuckles* ...if I had been unaffected, it would be humorous.

*Looks at him*

Hm?

[tread_the_earth]

Considering what the computers seemed to pick up of the event... Well, I found it more bizarre than humorous.

*Clears his throat, thinking he was misheard*

You're a little warmer than usual. Perhaps your body expelling remnants of the drug?

[vi_schemer]

You didn't see Xemnas running around with Marluxia as though they were best friends. In red, I might add.

*Sighs, pressing the cloth back to his forehead*

That seems likely. I should have gone outside...or gotten away from it somehow.

[tread_the_earth]

...I feel embarrassed for them. Perhaps Xemnas more so than Marluxia, but embarrassed all the same.

*Leans down to check on the humidifier, watching the water begin to boil into steam*

If it was as fast-acting as I assume it was, you would have still been affected even after a few ... inhalations. Then you would have been acting that way around me.

[vi_schemer]

Yes...that's true. Poor Xemnas.

*Looks over at him, nodding slowly*

...I'm glad, then, that I wasn't near you. Even if you had to hear and read what happened, at least you didn't get the full experience.

[tread_the_earth]

*Sits down next to Zexion, looking down on him as he speak*

That is true. And it could have been much worse; everyone could have been exposed to it longer and lost braincells, among other things.

[vi_schemer]

*Looks away, nodding again*

I know. I'm sorry.
