[010: Action]

[April rarely ever got sick; the last time she got sick was when she was a child. But messing around in the snow plus having been up for most of the night before resulted in April catching her first cold in years. She had felt fine that morning, but by the time she was at work, her boss told her to leave before she coughed and sneezed all over everything and everybody.

So now she found herself in the hotel lobby, having taken a seat in one of the chairs and finding that she just felt too tired to move. And any attempts to use the phone to ask for good ways to get rid of a cold only resulted in her staring at the phone for a few moments before putting it away, her head far too achy and fuzzy to be able to word anything properly.

So, she curls up in her chair with a sigh... followed by a loud sneeze.]

... Ugh... I forgot how much being sick sucked...

... O-okay... But, what's stopping you from going out? [Her expression has gotten curious now, since he did say 'we'.]

It is dangerous to travel alone, and you are my partner.

You c-could... see if you could go out with someone e-else? [Her expression has now turned into a mix of confusion and guilt.]

I am not on close enough terms with anyone else to be comfortable asking. A break won't kill me.

I... O-okay... [Another couple of coughs before she takes a sip of her drink.] Um, sorry, about this.

[gaveupfeeling.livejournal.com]

Don't apologize. It's all right.

... Thank you. Ehe, I-I should find a way to pay you back for helping me out. [She takes another long sip of her drink, now finishing the last of the juice.]

It's not something that you need to pay me back for. I am happy to help you.

[A moment of silence, before she smiles softly at him and nods her head.] Thank you. You're really a great help to me.

[Though it seems nodding was a bad idea, since she then winces slightly and rubs at her forehead with a frown.]

Think nothing of it. And rest for a while.

[Another nod, though this one is a lot fainter, before she places the glass on the stand next to the bed and flops back on the bed.

It isn't long until she falls asleep.]
