Rebel 40 [Written/Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[It was bound to happen sooner or later. Between pushing herself with extra hours at the clinic and running around in the snow more than she should have, Litchi's awesome immune system has finally been conquered. It's little more than a common cold, but she knows she can't push it anymore and needs to rest. Much as she hates to admit defeat like this.

House 48 gets the honor of a puffy-eyed and sniffly Litchi making far more noise than she would like this morning (re: coughing from time to time), trying to make some tea. After that, she's going to bundle up in her room, more than likely forced there by housemates.

Towards mid-morning, feeling even worse about writing this than she feels sick, she drops a note in the journals.]

[Written | Filtered to Medical Staff/Volunteers/Students]

I am so terribly sorry for my timing on this, but I seem to have caught a cold. It shouldn't take more than a day or two to recover, but I didn't want to put any patients at risk by coming in to work while I'm contagious.

I'm sure the clinic will be just fine in the meantime, but if anyone needs me for anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Please try to stay warm, everyone.

If you're sure... [A little surprised, she sinks down into a chair, watching him curiously.]

You really don't have to stay if you don't want. I'm sure this isn't what you came by for.

[avaricious]

[He's doing it anyway. Assuming the hot water is ready, he'll be finishing everything else up.]

Sick people need looking after. Though I'm surprised a doctor managed to let herself let it get this bad.

[not_meatbuns]

[Burn, Ling.]

I didn't expect it to catch up to me, to be honest.

[avaricious]

I suspect if was because you worked yourself too hard.

[not_meatbuns]

If you ask my housemates, I'm sure they would agree with you.

[Three days with very little sleep and running around in the snow is hardly working too hard. :c]

[avaricious]

What would you have told someone showing symptoms of being sick?

[not_meatbuns]

[Your point is made, Ling.] I would have told them to rest.

[avaricious]

I'll try to do as the doctor says, not as the doctor does.

[He turns around with her cup of tea.]

[not_meatbuns]

That... may be for the best in this case, yes.

[Also, never emulate her sleep habits. Ever.]

[avaricious]

You should drink up, then. You'll feel better.

[He will sit down as well! He has his own tea.]
