soul_dissonance[The rain can be seen falling outside, occassionally hitting the dirty windowpane the communicator is faced toward. It sounds pretty harmless, except for the softest hissing noise. Acid, after all.]
[Soul can be heard giving a sigh, not yet in the camera's view.] This is bad... I don't know what the rain will be doing to the water out there. The lake seems to have taken its share of abuse since I've been here.
[His fingers come into view as the communicator is grabbed from the side, and slowly pulled around. He can be seen running a hand through his spikey hair.]
Does anyone have any suggestions for helping to cure a cold? ...Maybe a fever? Kind of pressed for traditional methods, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bookwormmeister who don't know how to stay still awhile. Even if they happen to be booksmart.
... [He looks off to the side, thoughtful... Then gives his arms a stretch and stands up.]
Staying inside like this is getting to me. Sure, it's much easier to get around to morning training than it used to be, but my scythe will still go to rust and possibly corrode if I try to go out there without a good reason. -- I'd like to avoid that possibilityand the pain.
Ah-.. [A smug grin is given at a thought.] That's right. They're both here now... Oi,suprstarmeister, asymmetriphobic... If we ever get things back to the way things used to be, then how about a rematch? I'm stronger than I was before. Something to think about.

Date: 2009-07-28 08:04 am (UTC)So I was gone to gather supplies before this incident hits for a few minutes and need I remember you that I have been sitting still for three days at the time and everyone goes ballistic.
And since you want to comment about my "booksmart" abilities, I thought that going out for some fresh air usually helps when someone is ill.

Date: 2009-07-28 08:00 pm (UTC)For a fever, drink lots of fluids and try to avoid eating solid foods. Oh, and taking a cool bath in low-level water helps as well. If the fever doesn't get above 102, then just letting it take its course and cure whatever infection is in the body is the best thing to do.
Bed rest is always the best solution though, that is if the illness isn't too bad.

Date: 2009-07-28 08:50 pm (UTC)[...] ...Sounds like I wasn't. So, why did you go out alone, anyway? Even if you did what you thought was "booksmart" at the time, going without some kind of weapon wasn't so much.
Heh. The air isn't so great when the remnants of all that volcanic ash leads to acid rain. Try again, Maka.

What are you anyway?
A reindeer?[voice]
Date: 2009-07-28 08:54 pm (UTC)Mm. I'm fine, Hanyuu. At least for now.
I'm not the one who is sick. ...Just the one looking after the one who is sick. My partner.

She had a perfectly good reason at the time, but her mind is too foggy to remember it. So she opens her mouth to comment on the next thing,...but only to shut it again. He did make a point about the air. Defeated, Maka turns her gaze elsewhere as she frowns. Damn him.]
Well,...I still think I have a right to stretch my legs sometimes.

Date: 2009-07-28 09:05 pm (UTC)But he won't rub it in her face. She's still feeling sick. It can't be helped.]
All right, all right... You've got me there.
Just don't forget that there are steps to keep you from getting sicker. I can't remember a time where anyone said they were the most pleasant.
So... How are you feeling now, anyway?
[voice]

Date: 2009-07-28 09:14 pm (UTC)Sure... I can do that for you.

Date: 2009-07-28 09:25 pm (UTC)I'll see if there's any cold water downstairs in the cafeteria that I can used to dampen a cloth for you.
Not so sure about the sore throat...
[voice]
Date: 2009-07-28 09:27 pm (UTC)I'll be careful. Don't worry. I don't want to catch what she has.

Date: 2009-07-28 09:31 pm (UTC)[And she settles back in her comforters.]
But I have been and it's not working. And I'm not sure if they're any medicine left at the hospital.

[He sighs, turning his head to look back toward the window.]
I wish it could be that simple... but it looks like the weather report wasn't that far off. The rain has been getting worse.
[voice]
Date: 2009-07-28 09:41 pm (UTC)I don't like getting sick anyway.

Date: 2009-07-28 10:19 pm (UTC)[Soul looks back at her, obviously surprised... But then his expression softens up, and he looks over toward the window again; listening to the pattering rain.]
The same thing can be said about home, you know... Eggs of Kishin were never hard to find, Maka. Weapons and Meisters were needed for those missions.
[...] This city isn't the same. But in some ways, maybe... things just don't change about the way humans can be.

Date: 2009-07-28 10:33 pm (UTC)[She wraps her hand over her arm, continues to stare out the window.]
At home, at least some good happens with the bad. It was balanced. But where is it here?
[Maka tightens her grip on herself.]
You continue to tell people to have faith. Tell them that everything will be alright and work itself out. But it gets worse as the days go on. How can you keep telling people to have hope when you, yourself is losing hope?
