127. Change

[corrinesbell]

Well, now that I'm back to being myself again and I've had a couple days to finish almost everything up...

The tea house is officially open for business! Even if it doesn't have a name yet. It's on top of the Welcome Center, and you should really come check it out! We have a little more than just tea.

[[ooc: Now that I'm not doing this on my phone Feel free to action right over there, because that's where she is. Also, this is what it looks like inside.]]

I have spoken to a doctor.

[Written]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah? Which one?

[Written]

[ombra_lira]

Doctor Muraki. [See? He's being good. Sort of.]

[Written]

[corrinesbell]

[That is setting off some kind of mental alarm for her that she doesn't understand at all. ...Huh.]

Well if it's gone on for this long maybe you should see somebody else too.

And I'm bringing you something later.

[Written]

[ombra_lira]

[...of course.] I will consider it.

I am living at house #2 now. I will leave the door unlocked for you. [He doesn't remember if he ever told her.]

[Written]

[corrinesbell]

[and she doesn't remember him telling her, but stuff happens sometimes.]

Great. I'll knock before I come in.

[Written]

[ombra_lira]

All right. [He will make his way downstairs in the meantime.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[It's a while later before she gets there. And she does knock first, even if she has to do it with the toe of her shoe. Her hands are full as she finagles the door open - one carrying a big thermos mug of hot tea and the other with a bag of something]

Sheik?

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[Sheik's in the front room, dozing in his comfortable-looking armchair with a thin blanket draped over his lap and a (thankfully empty at the moment) bucket at his feet. He shakes himself awake when he hears her knock.]

I am here.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[She sticks her head in the door and one look at him is enough.]

Don't get up, okay? You look awful.

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

I was not planning to. [He's comfortable at the moment.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

You kinda don't look like you could.

[putting all her stuff down somewhere convenient, she comes closer to check for a fever. ...Sorry Sheik. No choice]

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[Sheik glances at the stuff she sets down, then back up at her when she places a hand on her forehead. Sorry Sheena, there's no hint of a fever.] I would rather not waste my energy. That is all.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Well you don't feel as sick as you look.

[It only takes her a minute to hand him his tea, though. It's mint, green. He'll like it.]

Guess that's a good thing.

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[It smells very nice.] Thank you. [He takes a sip, then shakes his head.]

That is what worries me. I had thought I had merely eaten something bad, but it has lasted so long, I wonder if it is some ailment I have not seen before.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Well, did that Muraki guy say it was anything serious?

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

A stomach ailment. It may be I am simply weak to this particular illness.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

...I dunno, you've been sick since before I came back, right? Maybe it is something different.

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

Several weeks by now. [Sheik shakes his head and takes another sip of the tea. It is very soothing. Thanks for that Sheena.] Whatever it is, I hope it clears soon.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

...Maybe you caught that draft sickness from somebody.

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

I do not see how it is possible. I have come into contact with very few people. [Self-imposed isolation does that.]
