Stop the presses; it's official. Rae didn't like being sick. Not one bit. Her throat hurt and she felt achy all over- not at all like her usual self

William's been busy and comes in with his jacket tight around him and heads straight for the fire.

When he sees Rae, he blushes since she's wearing something less than he's used to and tips his hat to her, "Ma'am."

"Do you want some tea or medicine for that cough, ma'am? Don't want it to turn bad on you,"

He's heard a lot of coughing lately and it worries him.

[sunbaked_baker]

"What, you mean it can get worse?" she says, blinking at him. "It already feels like I've got a perpetual hangover - can you imagine, a hangover with no pleasant memories of the party that caused it?"

[not_his_pa]

"Can't say I know much about either one, ma'am."

[sunbaked_baker]

"Like I said before," she says, sniffing. "You're young."

[not_his_pa]

"Ain't that young."

[sunbaked_baker]

"Young enough not to know what a hangover's like, though," she says, sweetly.

Cute kid.

He shrugs and looks around for a rat,

"I'm goin' to order some coffee. You want anythin'?"

[sunbaked_baker]

"It's rather early in the morning, isn't it?" This place is so confusion when it comes to time. "I'll just have some champagne, I think."

It's technically fruit juice, after all. Of the very best kind.

[not_his_pa]

"That's why I want some, ma'am. That's the fizzy stuff, right?"

[sunbaked_baker]

"Fizzy... oh yes!" she giggles, cheerfully. "That's the one!"

[not_his_pa]

"Had some on New Year's, its nice."

[sunbaked_baker]

"It is, isn't it?" she smiles, though the brightness of her eyes may just be fever.

"I only tried it for the first time a year ago, but I love it so. It's just..." she's interrupted by a coughing fit. "...so bubbly."

Maybe a bit like her. And maybe some champagne will help her feel less ill.

"Just make sure to get some tea or somethin' with honey in it. Don't let that cough get too bad, ma'am,"

She's fun, sort of like Tiger Cub just without her seriousness.

[sunbaked_baker]

"I never caught the British' attraction to tea, to be honest," she says, giggling, though her eyes look confused.

Of course she likes tea. What was she saying?

[not_his_pa]

"Thought you were from London, ma'am?" He's confused too.
