[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.]

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.

... Ah, Doctor Faye-Ling - you are certain you are alright other than a cold?
... Do you need me to... cover for anything?
[Voice]
[Sniffle.] If you could make sure that the supplies are all kept up, that would be wonderful.
[Voice]
Ah, I certainly will - especially for others unfortunate enough to come down with the same ailment...
[Almost shyly:] ... If you wished, I could... m-make you a soup, of some kind? That tends to be... soothing. [Even if it's not really a cure...]
[Voice]
Thank you, Professor Hastings, it's very nice of you to offer. But I don't want to trouble you.
[Voice]
... It would not be any trouble at all...
... D-Do you, er, have a preference?
[Voice]
[Voice]
In that case... shall I... bring it to you, then, when it is finished? I would be glad to help, however I can.
[Voice]
Thank you, that sounds lovely. It really is a tremendous help.
[Voice]
... It is all I can, and should, do for a friend...
Are Mr. Jordan... and your other housemates... also well?
[Voice]
One housemate was out in the snow a little too long yesterday and seemed to have caught the cold as a result, but the others are all feeling just fine. David and Tsubaki are taking good care of us.
[And she doubts Tao can ever get sick of anything but overeating. If she can, Litchi hasn't seen it happen yet.]
[Voice]
I am glad that... most of you are alright, and I hope that anyone who is currently ill recovers soon...
[Shyly:] Perhaps I ought to... v-visit again, sometime, when... circumstances are more congenial...
