[YEAH WELL SHE'S SUFFERING. She's currently curled up in a ball on the floor, hugging a nice bucket she had been considering using to clean, or hiring a droid to use to clean. Whatever, details are unimportant now.

All that matters is that she feels worse than she did before, and now there's more than just coughing and flu symptoms. Whatever Anakin had given her before, it didn't do anythign in the long run and now he was gone.

He had left her, and she got worse.

God, she hates her life.

Upon hearing her name being shouted, she wants to shout back, but instead just rolls over to lay on her back, because that's easier than screaming.]

I'm over here, thank you for bothering to show back up.

[alwaysqueen]

Mmhm. [Clearly, she's not convinced. But if he's willing to believe she's not going to die, and he's not even her...

The Blair Waldorf back in New York City never would have just accepted that she's going to die. She wonders what happened to her, to make her this resigned to something like death. Maybe it's the fact that it's not permanent that makes it alright with her.]

You may be right, Anakin. I hope that you are, or else I'll have to take it out on you when you're wrong. [A joke, and she turns her hand so she can squeeze his.]

[notyourlight]

And just how're you going to take it out of me?

[He smiles and lifts her hand up to kiss her fingertips.]

I hope you have something mildly entertaining planned.

[alwaysqueen]

I'll figure out something. I'm perfectly creative when I'm at the top of my game. [She smirks a little, relaxing a bit more as he kisses her hand.]

Really, you should hardly be amused by the promise. You should know how difficult I can be.

[notyourlight]

I do know. That's why I'm so excited.

[He leans in and kisses her softly, leaving his lips pressed against hers for just a second longer than necessary.]

I'd much rather you just rest for a while and take it out on me later.

[alwaysqueen]

If you'd rather me rest, then you wouldn't get me so interested in kissing you. Also, it's terrible that it took me almost dying for you to kiss me. [She points out, her hand going to his face to hold him in place so she can return the gesture.]

[notyourlight]

[He lets her return it, letting the kiss press her down into the pillow.]

Just breathe through your nose, my Queen.

[He smiles down at her before continuing the little session they seem to be having.]

[alwaysqueen]

[She wishes she had the energy to do more than this, but in between feeling disgusting and honestly being exhausted, she's not able to breathe through her nose for too long. She eventually breaks away and turns her head so she can cough, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment.]

When you call me that, are you mocking me?

[notyourlight]

[He doesn't take his eyes off of her and uses his free hand to push any stray hairs out of her face. He fights down the urge to cough himself using a surge of the Force to hold it at bay. He even uses their connection to push back some of the disease in Blair as well, if only for a moment. When he speaks his voice is soft.]

I was at first but now... it just stuck. I could call you whatever you wanted but it wouldn't feel right. You're my Queen, Blair.

[alwaysqueen]

[She laughs, her nose wrinkling up as she tries to process that.]

Then what does that make you to me, I wonder.

[She's smirking more than smiling as she leans up to kiss him, keeping it short and teasing.]

[notyourlight]

[He smiles after she kisses him, unable to contain the emotions as he's overwhelmed by everything.]

You're Jedi Guardian, of course.

[He leans in close to whisper in her ear.]

And your secret lover.

[alwaysqueen]

[She tries to keep on her smirking mask, but at that last part she shivers and it crumbles, leaving her wide eyed and stunned. She hadn't expected him to say something like that to her, and all she can do is stare up at him.]

Secret?

[This is now entirely starting to remind her of a certain limo encounter with one Chuck Bass, which has her a little wary.]

[notyourlight]

[He chuckles sitting up a little straighter but still remaining close.]

I'm teasing. Just because you're in my room doesn't mean we're going to do anything yet.

[He squeezes her hand.] And I'm not ashamed of this so if you're okay with it we won't be together secretly.

[alwaysqueen]

[She glances down at their hands, before looking back up at him.]

I'm not ashamed.

[She shakes her head, smiling.]

But unless someone asks, it might be more enjoyable to keep it a secret. Just for a little while.

[Yeah, she's going to wait until they're both healthy to put the moves on you, or let you put the moves on her, Anakin.]

[notyourlight]

[After smiling again he runs a hand over her hair gently. The feel of her on his hands helps reassure him.]

What makes you say that? Not that mind. I'm just curious.

[alwaysqueen]

If you're going to basically proposition a girl, you should at least know how much more heated it makes things. [Things being sex, Anakin. God. But she's oh so amused and lets out a soft laugh as she quirks an eyebrow.]

Part of the fun is no one knowing what you're up to.
