It seems warmer weather is returning already. ...At least it will be more comfortable for these new arrivals, should the trend continue.

...I'm sorry to hear about those who did not return from the draft immediately. [it hits a bit closer to home now that she's been through a draft herself]

Do we have any idea how many New Feathers have appeared so

[Hey Nephry. A certain someone who's been in denial over his impending cold just walked in the house, coughing. He was still feeling all right this morning, but fevers really have a way of hitting you fast... he only left the house an hour ago!]

[Clearly that thick winter coat is no match for a fail immune system.]

[He makes a beeline for his room and doesn't even take off his coat before crawling under the covers of his bed, shivering.]

[Action] /you monster

[offallingsnow]

[Oh. Oh dear. She waits a moment out of pure surprise, then follows after him, knocking quietly on his door]

Is everything all right, Ion?

[Action] /insert appropriate evil laughter here

[soreplaceable]

[The door hadn't been shut all the way, so knocking should push the door open. Not that Ion minds, of course. His head is just barely peeking out from under the blankets.]

I'm not feeling very well. It's just a [Cough.] s-slight cold, I'm sure...

[He makes a small, shivering noise before pulling the blankets over his head.] It's freezing in here...

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

May I come in?

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

You don't have to ask, Nephry.

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

[Yes she does. But never mind that, with permission she is coming in and Ion why are you still wearing your coat and mittens. Ion totally wears mittens.]

...Perhaps it would help you to put on something more suitable for being in bed.

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

I was hoping to warm up a little before I tried changing... although I guess that's a little silly, isn't it?

[For someone complaining about being cold, his face sure is flushed.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

Yes, just a bit. And you're probably not going to warm up very quickly, considering it's your fever that is making you feel so cold.

[she doesn't even have to touch him to be able to tell how warm he is.]

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

...is it that obvious? [Ion couldn't hide an illness even if he tried. And thankfully, he's not trying right now.]

[Knowing it'll just be more difficult the longer he puts it off, he sits up in bed and takes off his totally macho and manly mittens and his coat, simply letting them fall to the floor... before deciding that was apparently enough and once more covering himself up with blankets, shivering.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

...You should change into pajamas, Ion. You would be more comfortable. I'll go get you some tea.

[and give you the privacy to change.]

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

[He knows, he just wanted a few more moments of warmth beneath the covers... reluctantly, he sits up again, scooting to the edge of the bed to stand up.]

Tea sounds [cough, cough] g-good, thank you.

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

[A nod, and she's gone. It's only a short while before she returns with the tea, as well as an extra blanket and some cold medicine (they totally have that, Dist lives here). ...Which he will actually get in reverse order, as long as he's in bed and not, you know, shivering on the floor]

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

[He's not that bad off, having managed to not only change but even hang his coat back up in the closet. Of course, the moment he lays down he seems to remember just how dizzy he is and he'll be more or less hiding under the covers again to stay warm.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

[She's going to make him sit up and take that cold medicine. :| And then spread the extra blanket over him, thinking maybe he will at least believe it is helping.]

When Tear gets back, I'll let her know.

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

[Oh, he takes the medicine without complaint, even if it does taste like Natalia's cooking awful. He lays back down with a small frown. He didn't want to start worrying everyone!]

It's only a cold, Nephry... [He says as he started coughing some more, covering his mouth.]

[Action]

[offallingsnow]

Your colds have a tendency to worsen if not seen to immediately. [and, as she knows now with one hand on your forehead, you've got a high fever already. She will move her hand to gently brush his hair off of his face.]

I did bring tea. Do you feel well enough to drink it?
