Unfortunately, Rhyme wasn't a doctor, or even a particularly good healer. But there was more to being a doctor than just medicine and knowledge! So, armed with two bananas and four pieces of toast, Rhyme made her way to Naoto's quarters. Hopefully she would be allowed in!
She knocked on the door very loudly, and then a few moments later called out. "May I come in?"
Reply
"...yes."
She wasn't sure who it was but the voice sounded childish, perhaps it was Amu?

"Hi! I'm Rhyme, it's nice to meet you." She couldn't do much more than be cheerful, so she set the toast and bananas down on a table near Naoto. "I brought you some food, it's good for if you aren't feeling well." She gave a huge smile.

...ah, so it was Rhyme. The new cabingirl on the ship.
She smiled back, albeit a bit tiredly but as warm as she could muster.
"..thank you, Rhyme."

...never mind, now was definitely not the time to think of that.
"You may come in, Kambei."
She straightened up as best she could against the wall and brushed her bangs as she rubbed the skin in between her eyes. The headache was only getting worse but to refuse help would be stupid. She understood that much.

"It seems you have seen better days..." Kambei whispered quietly as he came close, inspecting Naoto's condition with an experienced gaze. "A flu, no less. Perhaps the stress of your days catching up with you." He leaned in close as he offered the mug of hot tea toward the ailing woman.
"Perhaps this minor remedy can ease your pain."
Reply
"..perhaps."
She reached out for the warm mug and took a tentative sip before smiling up at him, thankful for the hot drink.
"Ah, I think it will. Thank you, Kambei."

"Come in."
She had never met the crew doctor, unaware until today that they even had one. But medical procedure was medical procedure, and she only hoped that he was capable.

"My name is Doktor Sleepless. I understand that you haven't been feeling well, Miss...?"

"...Naoto Fuyumine."

She had hurridly gone to the kitchen to get a large glass of whatever. Whatever it ended up being she felt it would help at least a little, and then went to Naoto's room. She gave a gentle knock on the door first.
"Naoto? It's me."
Considering she had been given the invite, she felt it would be okay to enter so she slowly opened the door to give Naoto time to protest should she be wrong, before stepping in.

"Ah, Winry."
She shifted on the bed, hand rising to steady her shaking head while she did so and leaned her back against the wall behind her. She was definitely looking worse for wear with her disheveled hair and clothes but she managed to keep a strong front. It would do no good to have to have Winry see her in such a weakened state, and to have anyone else worry about her was..unnecessary.

She approached to stand by Naoto's bedside, she held out the glass of water towards Naoto "Thought you might want this." She was significantly less worried about her now, but still wanting to make sure everything would be alright.
"Have any of the doctors come to see you, yet?"
Reply
"Thank you. You can...take a seat, if you'd like."
She rustled some of the sheets to make room for her and continued speaking.
"..ah, no, not yet. To be honest, I wasn't aware we even had a doctor on crew."
Reply
Even if not, he could at least see how she was doing.
He knocked gently on Naoto's door, quietly enough not to wake her if she was sleeping. After waiting a few seconds for a response, he pushed the door open a little way to look into the room - he didn't want to barge in, but...
"Naoto?"

"Ah, hello Lavi."

He stood somewhat awkwardly by the door, not entirely sure what to say now he was here. He wasn't used to this sort of feeling - most people he knew how to deal with, but he was conscious of a need to tread more gently than usual around Naoto, especially if she was feeling as fragile as she looked.
"I didn't mean to disturb you," he said, concerned at the obvious effort it took her just to sit up - it looked like she really needed to rest. "I just...wanted to see how you were."
Reply
Pulling the sheets around her, she glanced back up at him.
"...I..haven't seen you for a while. How are you?"
