[someone has fallen asleep amidst a pretty good amount of toy soldiers and dinosaurs, one of the soldiers still clutched in his hand. he's breathing through his mouth because his nose is stuffed up, and he has a plastic dinosaur under his cheek. this will make for an interesting imprint when he wakes up.

he doesn't seem to be having a very good dream.]

[he doesn't even wake up, so you must be getting good at this. he's even quieter for a little bit because a part of him knows you're familiar.]

[fromshadow]

[sighs, shifting him a little to make him more comfortable.]

You better not be getting sick, kid.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[he's sorry for coughing on you, then. :< and will be easing out of that bad dream while you hold him, thankfully.]

[fromshadow]

[aw man. he's not really annoyed, of course, just worried for Riku. it's definitely time to head back to their rooms.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[he has all the early signs of a cold, which shouldn't be too surprising with how many times he was used as a free pass through mistletoe lately]

[fromshadow]

[gdit, he hopes those people got colds, too. B| but for now, taking Riku back to his room for some rest. he'll start gathering things for him like orange juice and soup and whatever the hell else is supposed to be good for being sick in a bit.]

[he's starting to wake up by the time they're back in the room, and is trying to burrow his way into your chest once he realizes who it is carrying him]

[fromshadow]

Hey, kid.

[keeps his voice soft, heading for the bed.]

You went and got yourself sick.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

I dun' wan' be sick...

[he might be a little harder to understand, given how stuffed his nose is.]

[fromshadow]

I know, Riku. I'll try to get you better as fast as I can.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[gives your shirt a little tug, managing to look hopeful and miserable at the same time]

Ice cream makes me all better...

[fromshadow]

[that makes him smile a little and he shakes his head.]

Maybe you can have a little, but you should have stuff that's good for when you're sick. D'you remember what you ate when you had the chickenpox?

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

Soup?

[he's crawling around on the bed now, finding his way under the covers and locating his stuffed paopu to latch onto. it's looking like it might need a wash again, if you can sneak it away from him.]

[fromshadow]

Yep.

[he should start washing that thing regularly, huh.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

No vegables in it though, okay?

[it might even be the reason he got sick seeing as he drags it around with him most of the time]

[fromshadow]

[augh, definitely need to wash it more often.]

We'll see.

/flee to work

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[he'll want you to use one of the washers with the window on it so he can watch the whole time and make sure it's okay D: he was about to refuse vegetables of any kind, but was interrupted by a round of coughing]

[fromshadow]

[aw jeez, props him up and rubs his back, frowning.]

I think we're going to have to wash your toy at some point, Riku. Sick germs can stick to stuff like that, and you carry it all over...

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[his throat hurts ;;]

But what if he gets eaten?

[fromshadow]

He won't, I promise. But if he doesn't get cleaned once in a while, he'll keep getting you sick.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

He's not that dirty...

[is hugging the toy protectively now]

[fromshadow]

The stuff that makes you sick isn't something you can see.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

Then how do you know he's got it?

[fromshadow]

Well... you know how you have to wash your hands to get rid of germs? It's like that. He's got it because he's been around you, but he hasn't got any way to get clean other than washing him.

[D:!]

We don't gotta do it now do we?
