[chorusangel]

[Transmission begins with Christine fumbling with her communicator. Her voice is uneven with panic.]

Doctor, I-I need a doctor!

Please, j-just come t-to room 8447, deck 5.

Hurry.

Christine, what's wrong??

[Audio//French]

[chorusangel]

I'm fine, b-but Erol...

[She pauses and takes several deep breaths, yet not sounding any calmer when she speaks again.]

He's ill, and I'm s-so scared that he'll... he'll...

*heard Erol's name, PING.*

[Audio//Spell-Switched to French]

[faeriexprincess]

Calm down, Christine. What is he ill with? Coughing, or a fever? I'm sure he'll be fine w-with some rest...

=commentlog=

[psychoticracer]

I'm --

*cough cough*

M'fine.

*feverish, weak and coughing, but at least he's still coherent*

=commentlog=

[chorusangel]

You not.

[She takes Erol's hand and grips it tightly - more so than she probably means to - and gives him a pleading look.]

P-promise you not d-d...

Die.

=commentlog=

[psychoticracer]

*Looks at her, not sparing the energy to squeeze in return. He's flushed beneath his tattoos, clearly uncomfortable but refusing to complain.*

F'I die I'll come back. Any- *bout of unproductive coughing*..... anyway... not... that sick.

[chorusangel]

[She's about to argue further, panic more, as if she were suddenly a helpless seven-year-old girl again, when someone knocks at the door.

It was either the doctor or Hajime - either would be a very welcome sight at this moment in time.]

3/3

[smite_knight]

Do you want my help?

[Audio//Translated to English]

[chorusangel]

I-if you know how to b-bring down a fever...

I'd be very grateful.

[canttrustliars]

What is it? Are you sick, like everyone else on this boat?

[Audio//Translated to English]

[chorusangel]

No, I'm fine, b-but the person who is sick isn't exactly in any state - and has too much p-pride - to call for help himself.

[Text is so much easier.]

[canttrustliars]

Let me guess, it's Erol.

[Text] Chrissie agrees

[chorusangel]

Perhaps.

[waywardassassin]

[His speech is slurred, because, lolsick.]

Whass goin' on.

[Audio//Translated to English]

[chorusangel]

[Pause, then a sigh.]

Perhaps you should go back to bed, Cadence.
