When she had awoken that morning, she knew immediately that she was coming down with something. She just didn't feel right. Thinking it might be a cold, she had gone to the restaurant. No matter how many times she had insisted it was untrue in the past, she knew Jin had always been right. Proper nutrition is key to staying healthy. So one little trip to keep her immune system up wouldn't hurt, right?

Unfortunately though, by the time she had chosen something, all she could stomach was orange juice. It wasn't all bad though, a little vitamin C would still help... Probably. The only problem was that task. She had been sent to find a specific weight from the gym. One that had been painted blue.

It was easy enough to find, it was the only blue dumbbell on the rack. And she was happy to see that it was also one of the smallest. Though, upon picking it up, she realized it weighed a lot more than it appeared to. Probably 30 pounds, or close to it. Not that she wasn't in shape... But she was also feeling fatigued. Not to mention nauseated and cold. So on she went, struggling and straining to carry the weight back to the stairs, stopping every few moments to lower it to the floor and catch her breath.

He raised his hands in a conceding gesture and let her try again.

"Alright, alright."

[uzuki]

She made it to the stairs, where she dropped the weight. She then sank down next to it, sighing.

[temptestament]

He knelt down next to her and picked it up, using both hands if only to avoid rubbing in how easily he was lifting it.

"Why don't you just let me handle this for now?"

[uzuki]

"...Alright."

She wouldn't have relented under normal circumstances. But she was in danger of throwing up if she lifted that thing one more time.

[temptestament]

He stood up and tucked the weight under one arm so he could reach down and offer her a hand up.

"Then let's get to the restaurant so you can get some rest."

[uzuki]

There was a moment of hesitation before she reached out for his hand. She simply nodded because she really did just want to go back to her room. Trying to figure out all of the feelings while she felt bad physically was even more draining.

[temptestament]

"Do you want to walk or should I take us there?"

[uzuki]

"Oh, whatever you choose is fine."

[temptestament]

"We should probably get you under a blanket as soon as possible. You're already running pretty warm."

[uzuki]

"It's not that bad... Just a little cold."

She was actually feeling warm for once! So she was obviously fine.

[temptestament]

"Still, with the weather, you should probably stay warm and try to rest so you don't get worse."

[uzuki]

"Alright..."

She knew that was true. Apparently, contradicting others was just her automatic reaction.

[temptestament]

He gave a faint, worried smile and put his hand back on her shoulder as he warped the space around them to take them to the restaurant floor.

[uzuki]

"I guess I should take it in to them..."

She took the dumbbell back from him, and dragged herself inside to give it to the staff.

[temptestament]

He followed after her, letting her try it for herself but keeping an eye on her to make sure she would be able to handle it.

[uzuki]

She managed to get it to the staff without any problems. And when she returned to him, she smiled a little, but remained awkwardly silent.

[temptestament]

"Ready to go back to the dorm floors?"

[uzuki]

"Yes, alright."

[temptestament]

He twisted space again, moving them to Shion's dormitory floor.

"Take care of yourself, alright? And let me know if you need help."

[uzuki]

She moved to speak, but stopped herself. She honestly didn't know what to say. Hey Allen, are you working with Wilhelm to reset this universe too? No, she couldn't say something like that to him.

So instead, she gave him a simple nod, and turned to her room.

[temptestament]

Her movement to speak then apparent decision not to caught his attention and he took half a step forward as she started for her room.

"Is something else wrong?"

[uzuki]

"No."

She didn't turn to face him. Only closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"No, I'm just feeling a little tired is all."

[temptestament]

He didn't entirely buy it, but he let it go with a nod.

"Try to get some decent rest, then."
