[A: EVERYWHERE IN MAYFIELD (Action; open)]

[Cain had risen early and left a note for his for his family on the side: GOING OUT. BACK LATER. CAIN. So now there was a small ten-year-old boy, muffled up in a scarf and coat, knocking on every door. He sounds bunged up with a cold, but he's smiling enthusiastically at whoever answers. Could it be you ( Read more... )

Well... I usually eat soup and take medicine when I have a cold!

B kinships October 14 2011, 18:02:41 UTC

What sort of medicine? I've never had one before, so I'm a bit ignorant.

wonribbons October 14 2011, 18:13:49 UTC

I don't really know 'what kind'. It's usually known as cold medicine, so maybe if you go to the pharmacy... you can find it.

Oh! And lots of rest, too would be good if you have a cold.

kinships October 14 2011, 18:34:28 UTC

Okay, thanks.

I'll stop by the chemist tomorrow, maybe they'll have something there.

[poor babby ;(

Abel is sinking down to sit beside his brother on the couch, a little furrow of concern at his brow as he drapes another blanket around tiny shoulders. soon as he's tucked up, he's holding out a cup of steaming tea for him to take before resting his hand over Cain's forehead to feel for fever.

this is. ;; THIS IS...]

...You don't look so good, little man.

B forevers kinships October 14 2011, 18:36:21 UTC

[He has a slight fever, but don't fuss Abel, it's only a cold. Taking the tea, he sips it and leans into his big brother's side.]

I think I have a cold, it's okay.

[He nudges the bags on the sofa next to him, giving a small smile, preferring to focus on something positive.]

I got you all presents today, aren't you curious what's in the bags?

custodismundi October 14 2011, 18:42:44 UTC

[SHUT UP HE'LL FUSS ALL HE WANTS

WHICH IS APPARENTLY GOING TO BE A LOT

AND YOU WILL LIKE IT YOUNG MAN

he looks a little further concerned when he does, indeed, feel a bit warm... hm. maybe it's time to dig into the medicine cabinet and see what he could find.

but he's distracted by the packages, and nudges at his glasses before leaning for a better look.]

Presents...?

kinships October 14 2011, 18:48:18 UTC

Mmhm, I went around all the houses today and earned money for them.

[Leaning out of his blanket, he plucks up one of the bags and hands it to Abel. It contains a big chocolate cake from the bakery.]

A, hope this is okay! whiterusestra October 14 2011, 18:43:24 UTC

[Belarus is lowering slightly so she can look eye to eye with this boy. Family has a lot of meaning to her, and the way he acts reminds her of her brother when they were little, almost.]

Is your fake family, or your real one?

A of course it is! kinships October 14 2011, 18:49:41 UTC

[He looks thoughtful for a moment, rubbing his runny nose.]

Abel is my real family, from back home, my big brother. The others aren't related to me exactly, but I don't think that matters for them to be family. They're still stuck here like me, and I bet they could use some presents to cheer them up, so I thought I'd try and earn money for them.

whiterusestra October 14 2011, 19:08:31 UTC

[she stares at him for a long moment before nodding her head]

There is nothing to be done with this house. Money is not mine. You are sick. Can step inside for a moment. [she leaves the door open behind her and goes into the kitchen to look for some cash.]

kinships October 14 2011, 19:28:32 UTC

[She talks in a strange way, so disjointed, but he doesn't mention it. Instead he smiles and follows her into the house, pleased to be in the warm even if there were no jobs to be done.]

Thanks for inviting me in, miss.

Medicine, soup, and rest. Those are all tried and true methods. You sound pretty snuffly there, kid.

phone kinships October 14 2011, 23:00:19 UTC

It's the first time I've ever had a cold, it's so weird not to be able to breathe through my nose. Are you sure soup will help with that?

phone alwayscarone October 15 2011, 00:36:29 UTC

Yes, of course. It's the best for head colds.

But how have you never had one before?

phone kinships October 15 2011, 18:05:35 UTC

[Because he's a genetically enhanced clone.]

Just lucky, I guess. Have you had lots?

[Once Esther gets back from whatever she does during the day, have the most concerned face young man.:<]

Cain! How long have you been like this?

B. kinships October 14 2011, 23:18:53 UTC

[Looking up at her with a smile, despite the flush in his cheeks, he shrugged.]

Since I woke up.

B. benevolentstar October 15 2011, 02:31:21 UTC

[Esther frowns.] You should have spoken up. Sit there. I'll go make you some chicken soup.

B. kinships October 15 2011, 18:09:17 UTC

I was out all day, didn't you get my note?

[Sickness cannot stop Cain, unlike his melodramatic brother.]
