I do not understand what it is with apples. I think I very strongly do not like them. But now I smell like them! I will not taste this time. I do not need to.

I think I may actually hate apples. But not Apple.

I am almost well again! I will be ready to return to normal things soon!

[Bell looked up from his journal, which sat in his lap as he flipped through the pages lazily. He was on the adjoining bed in Youth's room, the one he had staked out to keep an eye on his recovering roommate. He shrugged and remarked casually.]

Yeah, I preferred the soup taste you had the first day.

Though you know what they say about 'an apple a day...'

[And he went back to reading the journal.]

[Youth looked over at Bell and blinked.]

So this is even worse than something you already did not like?

[He glanced at the window very quickly. Too much being watched meant less chances to actually stretch well or even warm up.]

If the smell is something that you do not like, you could leave the room. [Youth frowned.] I think that an apple a day here would end in everyone dying.

[Bell kept his eye on the book in front of him.]

Uh...yeah. Right.

[He glanced sideways, just to see if Youth took his word for it. Youth was looking at the window, probably thinking about training, and Bell went back to 'reading' the journal.]

No, no, it's fine. You just want a chance to escape again, and I'm not going to give you the chance.
Probably. Thought that would keep the doctor away, I guess.

Right?

[It was probably just Bell being a bit aloof again. Youth didn't know what was wrong with solid answers... except when they were no. Then he knew what was wrong with them.]

There is nothing wrong with attempting to stay in some sha--

[Well. There went any chance to deny that he was trying to get Bell out of the room. Youth poked at his own journal before looking up with an idea.]

I could always do moderate exercise! Under supervision! I am doing better!

Oh Youth. So uncultured to the way of the apple

[crowsloveapples]

Maybe you're just not eating good ones. I can bring you some fresh from the farm if you like.

I'm glad you don't hate me.

And so fixated on the dangerous side. >.>

[spandexisyouth]

The last apple I ate had a surprise that was not fun. Are your apples just normal apples?

I could not hate you! You are nice! And thanks to you I have a turtle!

someone should bake him apple pie

[crowsloveapples]

What kind of surprise? I think so! They taste normal to me! Although maybe I should taste a bunch just in case!

[Slick kid is slick.]

You're really nice too! Did you ever name your turtle?

Ooh, that could work.

[spandexisyouth]

It was not good. It was the type that should not be written about. Be careful when eating them!

I have not yet. I want to name him something that fits, but everything I have tried so far does not quite work. Soon, I am sure, something will come to me!

[burntorangesky]

Apples this time? Strange. It makes one wonder how this place goes about choosing what we taste like.

I am glad you seem to be doing better.

[spandexisyouth]

I do not know. I was miso soup and apples. I read that there was another day in there, but I was not very aware of it. I do not know if I tasted like anything then.

I am doing much better! But I cannot seem to convince Bell of this.

[burntorangesky]

[Pen taps] I have been coffee, some sort of sweet lemon flavor, and [pause; she's licking her hand. Long pause.]

Anyway, it is a very strange event.

That is good, but you should not push yourself until you are all the way well.

[spandexisyouth]

And? You do not know what you are now?

It is!

I am not trying to push myself past what makes sense.

[redhead_rabbit]

Don't overdo it, 'kay? Don't wanna find ya as a patient anytime soon.

I could think of worse things to taste like.

[spandexisyouth]

I am trying to not overdo it but to not stay down the entire time!

I could not think of many foods that are worse for here.

[redhead_rabbit]

Well 'course not. Sure don't expect ya to do that, but if ya start hurtin' again, take a break, 'kay?

Ever have wasabi?

[spandexisyouth]

I understand!

I have! It was at the buffet! I enjoy spicy food!
