I...but if I wait, we'll be even further behind tomorrow...

[He is clammy, hot, miserable, and clearly not taking the fussing over him well.]

Kate, I'll be...Kate?

[Blink. Oh well, he can hurry up and sneak in some more work, even if it makes him a little dizzy.]

[Kate comes back in with an ice pack and the medicine.]

Hey! What did I say?

[She promptly sets the cooling pack carefully on his forehead.]

Call it a night, Billy.

[morphitudinous]

[Groan. If she gets any louder scolding him, he won't be able to work anymore anyway. Headaches are not fun.]

All right, you win. I'll stop for now.

[The cooling pack gets a small noise of relief from him.]

...thanks, Kate.

[Maybe there are some benefits to being taken care of.]

[She adjusts her voice volume lower as she smiled, and offered him the medicine with water.]

Good, so you'll try to rest?

[morphitudinous]

[Tries to prop himself up on his elbows. It takes a minute, but he's finally reaching for the water and pill.]

I suppose I have to. But if I may ask, what is this?

[He's poking at the pill.]

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

[Kate just shrugged, since she thought it'd be pretty obvious by what she said before.]

Acetaminophen, what else? For the fever and your head.

[morphitudinous]

...oh. Of course, thank you.

[Billy slumped against the headboard, feeling foolish. He'd attribute it to the fatigue impacting his brain cells and hold his hand out for the pill.]

Sorry about that.

[Kate gave him a soft smile in turn.]

It's ok, you're not running at full capacity right now. Just try to take it easy? For one day?

[morphitudinous]

[He nodded shakily and took the pill, leaning back against the headboard and slowly slipping down to the pillow.]

I think I can manage to do that---I've clearly proven that I need it. You don't have to worry, Kate.

[Thanks to her, he'll be fine.]

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Mmm-hmm. You need anything else?

[morphitudinous]

[Yawns and sinks under the covers.]

No, it's fine. Thanks again.

[She adjusted the blankets, and set the cooling pack off the side again.]

Night, Billy.
