William doesn't have any shoes on and looks pale as he enters through the Front Door and sighs. This wasn't where he meant to go and he shivers as he heads towards the fire

That don't look good.

Shephard doesn't say anything. He does, however, go over to the Bar for a moment. There'll be a pair of slippers and a mug of tea with a lot of honey in it- Momma swears by honey- when William looks away from the fire next.

[not_his_pa]

It's the slippers that get the longest look before William puts them on and carefully picks up the tea.

Once he's had a good long drink of the tea he says, "Thank you, don't have slippers."

[remindmeof_me]

"Good thing t'have when you feel like shit," Shephard says quietly. "Mama's still got the pair we bought for Poppa when I was nine."

[not_his_pa]

"Mark has slippers though don't fit anymore. This is good,"

He shifts to try and find a comfortable way to sit.

[missmarybennet]

A young woman in a green dress and a grey shawl is eying him with deep displeasure.

Of course, it's Mary Bennet. She eyes most everything here with deep displeasure.

"You look positively dreadful."

[not_his_pa]

He looks up and curls more into his blanket, "Thank you, I feel the same."

[missmarybennet]

"Are you ill?"

He most certainly doesn't look well. Mary hopes it's nothing too catching if it is.

[not_his_pa]

"Only a little, just need to sleep some more and I'll be fine by tomorrow,"

So she doesn't need to glare at him as if it's his fault.

"Do you want some Pepperup?" Scorpius asks, looking on at the boy with some concern.

(And a bit of guilt too, remembering how weird he'd been around William the last time they crossed paths.)

[not_his_pa]

William coughs and looks up at Scorpius, "What's Pepperup?"

[alsoagreengrass]

"A potion that helps with a cold. If that's what you have."

Scorpius is certainly no Healer, but William looks ill all the same.

"It'll make your ears steam, but it's brilliant."

[not_his_pa]

"That sounds painful," He's not sure he wants to mess with his ears.

[forgottenmotley]

A worried looking Fool peers at William. "You look like you're about to pass into the shadow ways."

[not_his_pa]

William has to take a moment to focus on the Fool,

"How would I do that? I'm just tired and a little sick."

[forgottenmotley]

"Well... you also look half dead. Little sick, half dead." He stares at him, but doesn't touch. "Or like you want to curl up somewhere and die. If not permanently."

There's a pause.

"Don't move."

[not_his_pa]

"I'm not that sick. Why not?"

He doesn't want to move that much but it's strange to be told not to.

[a1enzo]

Enzo and William haven't spoken, not significantly, but he's spotted him around the stables.

He usually looks better than this.

He's also probably been given more tea than he can stand, which is why he will find himself being handed a mug of hot chocolate instead.

[not_his_pa]

William's been napping and it takes him a few moments to realize the green shape in front of him is a person.

Then he sits up and puts the pieces together to recognize Enzo, "Hello."

[a1enzo]

"Hey." He proffers the mug again. "It's not tea."

[not_his_pa]

"Thanks,"

Once he's more upright, he takes the mug and coughs, "You're Enzo, right?"
