* appears on John's transportalizer* Is Anyone Home
I Brought Some Rose Hip Tea For Vriska
oh, hey kanaya! * he was totally not drinking milk from the carton nope*
* stares at john, momentarily mesmerized by his milk mustache*
Uh
* must looks pretty funny, considering his solid grey skin* what's up?
there are large sneezes being produced off in the distance
: o!!!
* clears her throat and produces a tissue out of nowhere, handing it discreetly to john with a you've got something on your face handwave*
Well Either Youve Got A Stray Trunkbeast In Your Hive Or Thats The Sound Vriska Spraying Her Microbes Everywhere
I Come Bearing Tea And
Er
Some White Oblong Tablets That Mrs Lalonde Assures Me Are The Very Finest Of Human Medicine
(( bluh that should read "the sound of vriska" i can't type etc ))
(( john's houuuuuuseeee is aliveeeeee with the sound of vriskaaaaaa ))
* he takes the tissue with a slightly confused expression, then gets it with a little oh, wiping the remnants of milk from his face*
oh geez, thanks kanaya! yeah, she has a cold or something.
* she appears in the doorway, nose red, clutching John's comforter* Heeeeeeeey, Kanaya. :::: (
Oh Dear
You Look Absolutely Wretched
Wait Shouldnt You Be Getting Rest
What Are You Doing Up And About
she won't stay in bed! she keeps insisting that she's fine.
* bustles over, pulling more tissue out of her sylladex, and begins to corral vriska towards the couch*
Typical
* she sneezes into the tissue, squeezing her eyes shut* I aaaaaaaam fine! >:::: (
Yes Clearly
Nonetheless If You Would Be So Kind As To Do Me The Personal Favor Of Lying Down Momentarily On This Nice Piece Of Human Furniture
I Would Greatly Appreciate It
i'll get some more blankets.
* she sits down on the couch, but doesn't lie down instead looking warily at Kanaya* Whyyyyyyyy?
No Reason
Then why * she tilts her head back to wait for the sneeze that never comes* ........ tell me to?
Its Just That You Were Sort Of Swaying A Bit
And Id Rather The Sofa Caught You Than Something More Unpleasant
The Ground For Example
I was not swaying!
And John would have caught me 8efore the ground.
Well Perhaps
course i would have. * he's back with armfuls of blankets*
But He Was Somewhat Preoccupied With A Carton Of Milk At The Moment If I Recall Correctly
So It Would Have Been A Somewhat Dairy Drenched Rescue
Ah Blankets
Thank You John
It would have 8een a gr8 rescue!
that's ok. need anything else?
Of Course It Would Have
* paps vriska's hand reassuringly*
No I Think Shes Fine For Now
Really All She Needs To Do Is Stop Roaming About And Let Her Body Rest For Once
I don't neeeeeeeed rest 8ecause I'm fine!
Mmhm
* carefully extracts a full tea set from her sylladex, making sure the tea doesn't spill*
vriska you're not gonna get better if you keep moving around all the time.
Something Tells Me This Is Not The First Time Youve Said That To Her
Well you should come sit with me then!
* gently places a mug of steaming tea in vriska's hands*
So I don't have to keep looking for you........
Drink This
* she takes the tea, sniffing it cautiously, the warmth on her hands is nice at least* What is in this?
Rose Hips And Honey I Believe
Here Im Going To Put In Some Lemon
Im Told That Honey And Lemon With Hot Water Are Good For Afflictions Of The Throat
And Nose
* touches vriska's forehead gently*
Oh Dear Youre Running A Fever
* she looks up at her all runny nose and weepy eyes* What afflictions?
* she very carefully does NOT execute a x2 facepalm combo, especially since she learned that mannerism from rose in the first place
and the last thing she wants to do is upset vriska right now*
* it is so tempting though*
Shoosh
Just Drink The Tea
* he sits down on the end of the couch to keep her company* i'll stay here ok? we can watch a movie.
* she frowns and takes a sip, holding it away almost immediately to sneeze before taking another sip* This is not completely terri8le.
Im Glad You Like It
I didn't say I like it.
* she settles in on vriska's other side, letting the side of her head rest against the back of the couch. she just smiles.*
Alright
Whatever You Say
* she takes another sip and snuggles into kanaya, she is nice and warm* Thank you, Miss Fussy Teeth.
* she freezes, momentarily taken aback by this surprise cuddle attack. gulp. but vriska looks so sick and sad that she just strokes her back
a bit and doesn't say anything*
* she snuggles closer, she will get all of kanaya's warmth, all of it.*
* oh god oh man. this is way more than she bargained for. abort!!! she looks desperately over at john, silently pleading for help.*
* aaaaaaaand she sneezes on her, ew*
* john just kind of grins at kanaya, mistaking her pleading glance for a 'Aw Look How Sickly She Is' kind of deal*
D --> Oh dear
* oh great, looks like she's in for the long haul. this is so awkward. it is awkward sauce with a side of ambiguity french fries. she
gingerly wipes snot off her arm and pulls another box of tissues out of her sylladex*
Vriska Kindly Keep Your Germs To Yourself
Look A Whole Box Of Convenient Disposable Germ Traps
* she sneezes again tilting her head to avoid kanaya this time* Joooooooohn, come sit!
You Should Make Use Of Them
* she blinks at the tissues* why?
i am sitting! but not too close. * he doesn't wanna get sneezed on either bro*
* but she wants moirail warmth* You should sit clooooooooser!
I Agree
You Should Sit Closer
* hopefully vriska will let go of her a bit if john is there for her to cling to and also sneeze on*
... *THIS SEEMS LIKE A TRAP * well, ok.
* shuffleshuffle*
* she sinks down, clinging to both of them, trying to grab a tissue to wipe her nose without letting go* Yay. :::: )
* the plan has failed. kanaya's thousand-yard stare could probably punch through glass at this point. her cheek is squashed up against
vriska's ear.*
hey vriska you should probably let kanaya go. you don't want her to get sick right? * he settles down beside her, curling an arm around her
shoulders*
8ut she's cuuuuuuuuddly. :::: (
i'll give you cuddles! just let kanaya sit a little bit away so she doesn't get sick too, ok?
8ut she's squishier! * she's clinging tighter, she will never let go, never!*
oh yeah, you guys are human and stuff...
Exact- * sneeze* -ly
Hrk
* and now she can't breathe*
If You Could Perhaps
Loosen Your Grip
Fiiiiiiiine. * she relaxes her grip minutely* 8etter?
Ahem
Yes Much
* she fans herself - vriska is hot , and not in the sexxxy way - then touches the sick girl's forehead again, biting her lip worriedly*
Did You Swallow The Human Medicinal Tablets Vriska
* she pauses, thinking carefully about her answer, she may be hot (also sexxxxy) but she feels freezing* Yes. I did. ::::|
Are You Lying To Me
she turns her face into kanaya's arm Why would I lie?
If You Are Just Be Aware That Youre Only Going To Continue To Feel Terrible If You Dont Take Those Pills
* her heart twists; this is vriska at her most vulnerable. she knows she should leave before this gets any farther - whatever this is - but
vriska looks like she's on the edge of death, and kanaya can't help caring, has never been able to help it at all.*
* she buries a hand in vriska's hair and massages her scalp gently as she admonishes her*
Come On Now
Where Is Your Tea
You Can Wash Them Down With It
* she's completely oblivious to kanaya's distress just smiling at the touch, leaning into it* It's on the floor.
* is she going to pick it up? gosh no that would mean removing kanaya's hand*
* she waits in vain for vriska to either pick it up herself or let go of her so she can get it*
Okay Vriska Now Would Be A Good Time To Release Me
* she clings tighter again* Release you from what? :::: )
From This Somewhat Tighter Than Necessary Embrace
I Cant Even Move Right Now And You Need Your Tea
Vriska Please
* she sort of pushes weakly at vriska's head, but vriska's having none of it*
* no she's not she's just snuggling closer, she is clearly the most delightful snot filled human* I don't want tea.
I Know You Dont But You Need It
Look I Am Even Going To Retrieve It For You
You Need Not Get Up Or Move Or Do Anything In Fact Except Let Go Of Me For A Minute
Please
* patience is key!!!*
I don't neeeeeeeed it either! * but she lets go anyway folding her arms and looking for signs of bolting*
* free at last! holy crap there are honest-to-god patches of sweat under her top where vriska's arms were wrapped around her. kanaya NEVER
sweats. this fever is packing some serious heat.*
* she picks up the mug, tops it off with fresh tea, and begins the long and arduous process of giving vriska her medicine*
Please Dont Be Difficult About This
All You Have To Do Is Swallow These Tablets
Go On Open Wide
* she takes the tablets, inspecting them* You got these from Lalonde, right? How do I know they won't poison me?
I Got Them From Her Lusus Actually
I Mean Her Mother
Seeing As You Havent Even Met I Hardly Think Shed Be Motivated To Poison You
