[Well, if nothing else, this has been educational: Cornelius wasn't even certain if the Pooka could get sick. Evidently, they could. The first bout of illness had seen him shivering in the living room in total seclusion; he hadn't wanted anyone to see him like this. He had finally expired sometime in the night, only to awaken the next morning in

Your offer is kind, but I do not need any help.

[pooka_prince]

I did not think you would. Still, should something befall you, you have but to ask... I hope you know that.

[immortal_smoke]

This is Mayfield. Something will always be befalling everyone.

[pooka_prince]

True enough, but you need not bear every burden alone.

[Russia's still managing to hang on, but he looks like death warmed over. brb dying on the couch]

Comrade does not look so good.

[pooka_prince]

I am better than most. I still have some time before I succumb once again... Is there anything you need?

[kol_shevik]

[Well if you're that interested in helping. Russia gestures to a partially-open drawer on the other side of the room. There's a half-bottle of vodka there, obviously stocked in case of emergencies.]

Can't sleep.

[pooka_prince]

[Cornelius sighs, grabbing the vodka and handing it to Russia.]

Is there anything I can do?

[fallen_cupid]

Ah, Mister Bunny! You're right! Is there anything I can do to help you?

[pooka_prince]

I am still [cough] well, for now. Focus your efforts on those who require aid.

[fallen_cupid]

Are you sure, Mister Bunny? I think I heard a cough!

[pooka_prince]

Nonsense, I am the picture of health. There are others in far worse conditions than I. Let us go to their aid.

Cornelius...

You need to take care of yourself, too... okay?

[pooka_prince]

Of course. Are you alright, MOMO?

[spacepeach]

I'm... I'm okay.

[pooka_prince]

There is no need to feign strength. If something is troubling you, you have every right to speak of it.

[hop_toit_udonge]

Hmm...

Noble.

[pooka_prince]

'tis nothing. If we cannot depend on one another, we are lost.

[hop_toit_udonge]

The problem with nobility is that it is too rooted in idealism, however.

Your heart is in the right place, but reality is far crueler.

[pooka_prince]

In that I fear you are all too correct. Is it not preferable, then, to strive to make that reality kinder for others- if only a little?
