✿ Sixth Bud [accidental video]

[seiriald]

H-hey, don't go falling! [Hello, Luceti, it seems that one of the journals out there has decided to turn on the video feature to show you one lovely ceiling, with rather creepy shallow breathing heard in the background. Before long a frazzled Kaori pops into the picture from the edge of what must be a bed, clearly still half-asleep since her eyes are closed, but... There's a distinct redness to her normally pale complexion, if you catch sight of her reaching around for the fallen book while her cracked voice mutters the occasional word.

... Actually, she's reaching out a little too far from the bed...

Damn it, where did you – Agh?! [And down she goes toppling in a tangled mess of blankets to the floor, because depth perception sucks when you're feeling so damn sick, right? Someone save her from the blanket monster!] Ow!

[falenandawn]

Kaori, are you ok? [Ok that's kind of cute, but he's still worried.]

[voice]

[seiriald]

Nyeh~... [You better me satisfied with that answer, Frey, because she doesn't want to explain that yet again her body is tearing itself apart. Boo.]

[voice]

[falenandawn]

[Is she avoiding the question?] I'm coming over, ok?

Re: [voice]

[seiriald]

You don't have to! [Okay, maybe shouting was a bad idea because not only does it make her wince, it summons up a series of coughs that make her discomfort even more obvious. Sorrows dis she always have to be a bad liar?]

[voice]

[falenandawn]

I will anyway. [Suspicions confirmed. No one should be alone when sick.] Would you like me to bring anything for you?

[voice]

[seiriald]

[Technically Spada is within hearing range, so she's not exactly alone. Then again Frey doesn't know about him, does he?] I dunno...

[voice]

[falenandawn]

[No, no he doesn't.] Well then, I'll just come over and keep you company, ok?

[voice]

[seiriald]

'kay... [Hope you're not freaked by the heat she's radiating when you reach here, Frey, it's inhuman.]

[voice & action]

[falenandawn]

[And It will only take Frey a few minutes to head up to Kaori's apartment, knocking slightly. Is she able to get out of bed, even? Keepingg his journal open, he decides to ask.] Um... Should I just come in?

[voice & action]

[seiriald]

Sure~... [Who knows where Spada went to after he initially helped her escape the blanket monster and get back into bed, he was even nice enough to give her the journal eventually!

But everything's so hot...]

[voice & action]

[falenandawn]

[He'll head inside then, finding Kaori's room since he remembered from the last time he was here. In his hand is a bag of ice.] Hey.

[action]

[seiriald]

Hey... [She attempts a weak smile, since there's really no point to trying to hide the fact that she was sick now, at least from him.

Sitting up is a good idea, right? It'd be rude to by lying down when there's a guest even if she is nauseated.]

[action]

[falenandawn]

[And Frey's coming over and placing that bag of ice on her forehead as he kneels down next to her.] You should be resting, you know.

[action]

[seiriald]

[Ice...? It feels so good that she closes her eyes and gives up on attempting a sitting position, appreciating the relief it provides for her high temperature.]

Been resting since yesterday night...

[action]

[falenandawn]

You are resting because you're sick, though. You need it. [reaching out to grab her hand and-

Oh wow. That's Hot.] Are you sure you shouldn't go to the clinic?

[action]

[seiriald]

[Kaori shakes her head immediately, doing her best to ignore the spinning feeling that simple gesture caused. She had been stuck there just a month ago after the incident with Legato, and did not intend to go back anytime soon. That, and they probably couldn't do anything anyway, unless they figure out some solution that the people back home are nowhere near achieving.

Was he grabbing her hand? It felt rather cool compared to how hot she felt...]

[action]

[falenandawn]

[He knows he can't force her, but he's still worried.] If you're sure....... But don't hesitate to tell me if you feel bad, ok? [He does care, you know. No need to hide things.]

[action]

[seiriald]

Bad...? [Her body is suffering from the two bloods trying to destroy each other, there's not much that can be done.]

[action]

[falenandawn]

Sick, sad. We're friends, you know?

[action]

[seiriald]

Friends... [That was still such a strange idea to her, one she hasn't completely understood since she was taken from her birth parents. The other Auria there were family, Masude was family... So what was friend?

But Frey was something more, wasn't he? She'd promised.] Freyjadour...

[action]

[falenandawn]

Yes?

[action]

[seiriald]

Do you... still have the feather I gave you?

[action]

[falenandawn]

Yes, I do. Why?

[action]

[seiriald]

Well... [How does one even go about having this conversation? 'So I gave you an engagement vow, when's the wedding?' this was such a mess, stupid experiment... But she wouldn't have given it to him in the first place if he wasn't worthy of it...

Was he still holding her hand? That would make this more awkward if he is.] I need to talk to you about it... Masaomi suggesting waiting until the draft was over...

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

Ah....? [A worried look. And yes, he is still holding her hand.] Is there a problem? [And why would she need to talk to Kida about it?]
