[Ladd was currently curled up on a sofa, his face red and his nose dribbling slightly. He felt like crap, not just from the illness but also from the fact that he was stuck indoors. He didn't appreciate outside enough until it was gone.]

[Not that he hated spending time with Lua, of course. It just felt so restricting to be stuck in one place without the freedom to move. That's probably why he was so grumpy.]

Ain't there anything else to do but watch this goddamn television?

[Normally, television was a modern marvel, something that could draw Ladd's attention for hours if he let it. When he had no choice but to watch it, the whole premise became a lot more unwelcoming.]

[ When Lua comes back into the living room, still in her apron and with a bowl in hand, she just stares blankly at the television. She might spend a lot of time at home but she was never that interested in watching it, that was just something she'd do with Ladd. ]

[ Finally she turns away from the moving pictures to answer. ] I usually do a puzzle... or read.

I don't think I can focus much, considering I'm boiling hot in here. Can't you open a window or something?

[He fans his shirt in an attempt to generate a cool breeze, but it's obviously not going to work.]

[ Setting the bowl on an end table, Lua nodded and moved to open the window. That was about all she could do. ]
