[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.]

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

[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.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[D:!]

We don't gotta do it now do we?

[fromshadow]

No, we can wait until later.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[he looks very relieved, and lets his grip on the paopu loosen a bit]

Can I watch when we do it?

[fromshadow]

Of course.

[frowns slightly.]

You know, you'll have to take some medicine for your throat.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[makes a face]

But I don't like medicine.

[fromshadow]

I know, but it's just a part of being sick. It helps make you better.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

Is it gonna make me all sleepy 'n taste bad?

[fromshadow]

I'll try and find some that doesn't taste too bad, how about that?

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

Are you gonna taste it an' make sure?

[fromshadow]

Well, you're not supposed to take medicine if you're not sick... I'll see what I can do though.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

'kay.

[can't breaaathe- brb picking his nose because usually that helps]

[fromshadow]

[...ew, rests a hand on his arm to push it down.]

That won't help, Riku.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[sulks and wipes his finger on the bed]

[fromshadow]

[more ew. pats his head with a sigh.]

I know it's not fun. I've had plenty of colds myself.
