[ 32 ] accidental video

[shockinglycool]

[ CLATTER-Sorata drops his communicator. It doesn't fall far-only a foot or so-and lands at an awkward angle, video turning on in the process to reveal him pretty clearly, if sideways (and also the couch and wall). First clue that something is wrong: he's sleeping on the couch, not on his little corner of the kitchen floor in Latimir 107. Second

[He'd better at least drink the tea. Shinji would threaten if he didn't feel so bad about the other day.]

Quit worrying so damn much. I'm pretty sure it won't, but you're not gonna get any better unless you sleep.

You don't have to come over...

... [He's not so good at taking that right now. Have an awkward silence.]

...It's not a big deal. I won't stay long... I'll just give that stuff to the kid.

Not sayin' it for me. [ And drifting back off a little. ] If it bugs you, I mean...

[prodigal_axe]

I meant for both of us. Besides, if you were pissed at me and I got sick, you'd nag the hell outta me...

[And he's quiet a bit after that. Hoping Sorata will just fall asleep, so he can get stuff together for a ninja visit.]

[ There's a long half-asleep delay, before he remembers to say something. ] If I was mad at you, I'd cough on you on purpose. An' I ain't.

[prodigal_axe]

You should be...

It's not a good time for that. Besides, it wouldn't even work. It's not contagious, remember?

[shockinglycool]

Might be... [ Too tired to be whiny, but that was the intent. ]
