[his wings have lost some of their color, looking as rough as they did when he first came to the DR, drooping just a little bit. He's pale, cold to the touch, and strands of silver hair are sticking to his cheeks and neck from the sweat on his body. Currently, he's skimming through a pile of books, ignoring everyone else, muttering to himself as he tries to find what he's looking for]

Iron poisoning. Where...

[tosses that book to the other side of the couch, and moves on to the next. The burns on his wrists and ankles are a little bit better, but he's neglected to take care of the ones on his back, and has gotten iron-poisoning from it.]

Sora...?

[looking around for the Sora who'd helped earlier, wondering if he could now take him up on the offer of help]

[ooc; just think of iron poisoning as being poisoned like with anything else. He's shaking a little bit, nauseous, cold sweat, and the burns on his back haven't gotten any better. Those are like a severe sunburn, or like any kind of burn that's worse than normal.]

What's up, Riku?

[head jerks up, at that]

Ah...think I need to take you up on that offer of help....

Okay. What do you need?

[soooo doesn't even touch that with a ten-foot-pole]

I...my back. I can't get it, and it's...

[looks awkward and uncomfortable]

Your back? It's still bothering you?

[peels off his simple shirt, unbuttoning it so it doesn't hit his wings and revealing the angry red burns]

Ye...yeah.

You know, wings or not, you're the same ol' Riku I've known for years.

So stubborn. Won't ask for help until you get yourself sick or hurt.

I'm far older than your Riku....

[trails off, just trying to concentrate on not stumbling over everything]

... That's possible. You age better than the Riku I know, though.

[shakes his head]

If you're planning on magic, it won't work. Someone already tried.

[digs in his pocket and whooooaa, needs to sit down, so he does, though it's more of a badly controlled fall]

H...here--

[hands over the salve he was given]
