「5th」

[heavenfists]

How I managed not to catch this bug while more than half of the children here have it is a miracle. I'm letting the ones who aren't sick stay in my room so they don't catch it, but who knows how long that'll last.

And now is the time when medicine is most expensive. Ugh...

I wonder if Prince Clement caught this...

I expect you'll catch it eventually. Then all the children can dote on you.

[heavenfists]

I'd rather not catch it so I can have more of a handle on things. It's bad enough most of them are sick.

[necropantser]

I suppose as long as you only get sick once everyone else is well, then it wouldn't be as much of a burden. Still, life is rarely so convenient.

[r_esistance]

But you've got enough medicine for 'em all, righ'?

[heavenfists]

If the doctors do, I do. I don't care how expensive it gets.

[r_esistance]

If ya don't have enough, lemme know. Can't help much, but if it's fer the kids, then yer just gotta do what ya can.

'nd don't get all proud 'bout it and say no! Gotta look out fer each other, days like these.

[heavenfists]

Really, it's all right. The tips I get on average are enough to pay for everything.

I wouldn't place pride before these children's lives. Of course, it's not so serious a danger. Not yet.

[holy_song]

It seems like a lot of people are feeling ill right now. I hope everyone gets better soon...

Is there anything I can do to help?

[heavenfists]

Hmm... are you any good with children, Colette? You probably are, but I may as well ask, huh?

[holy_song]

Well, my dad always said so, and sometimes when families come to the Church, the priests ask me to take care of the kids. It's a lot of fun!

[heavenfists]

I figured as much.

[wingsto_fly]

I know what you mean, Tifa. Money is such a problem.

[heavenfists]

The economy sort of goes downhill after a war, I guess. I think.

[wingsto_fly]

Does it? I never went to school, so I didn't know that... but I guess it makes sense. Things have been harder to get since this all started.

[the_true_mirror]

Oh no, you're caring for all those kids by yourself? Do you need anything? I'm still healthy, myself, so if you need any help...

[heavenfists]

Hmm... didn't you put up a flyer about looking for work once?

[the_true_mirror]

Yes, that's right. I am employed at the moment, but that doesn't mean I can't lend a hand.
