SICK MEME

☀ Post your character, one-ish per comment
✫ They are now, for some odd reason, sick (headache, fever, runny nose, cough, whatever you want)
☀ Another character replies and is struck with the sudden urge to take care of them (bringing them soup, extra blankets, Sudafed, sexual healing, what have you)
✫ ???
☀ Profit!

Your other option is going to Serenity, or any closer location with a bed that you can think of.

[He shuffles around the corner to dispose of the bucket's contents, then gently takes her arm.]

What do you think?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

...could'a just said no.

[ His help is appreciated, in any case, and Kaylee leans on him a bit more than she wants to realize, one hand over her stomach in an attempt to keep it settled. ]

Medbay's fine for now.

[morphitudinous]

[He'll ignore that.]

All right, just lean on me. We'll be there soon enough.

[And it's only a short walk, hooray! He guides her to a bed near the entrance.]

Do you want the medicine now, or something else? Crackers? Fluffier pillows?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ A short walk that feels like forever when you don't know whether you're going to fall over at any second or not. Kaylee's almost happy to slide onto the bed. ]

Better stomach?

[morphitudinous]

I wish I could get that for you directly, but I think we'll have to start with the medicine for that.

[Unfortunately it comes in pill form. He mops at her head, then gathers that and some water.]

This dissolves quickly enough that it should take effect even if your stomach rebels again.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ She wrinkles her nose, but takes the pill anyhow. It goes down easy enough, though her stomach does give another unpleasant roll. ]

Hope so. Hate this.

[morphitudinous]

I know, I didn't like it either.

[He kneels by the bed and rubs her arm comfortingly.]

Let me know if you want to try food.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Ew no shaking her head at that one. ]

Rather not. Got a feelin' it'd be a waste.

[morphitudinous]

All right, then I'll make you comfortable.

[He sets about tucking the covers in, having had some practice at this.]

I'll stay until you've rested, then head back and finish up that work.

[ Kaylee shivers and settles almost eagerly into the blankets. ]

...thanks, Billy.
