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.]

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.

Of course it isn't any trouble -- just leave everything to me. [She rests a hand reassuringly on Litchi's shoulder. It means "be sensible and get back to bed or there will be words."]

[Don't tell on her to Dave, please. :c He'll do the Voice.]

If you're sure... I really do appreciate it, Tsubaki. Thank you.

[Look, she's even backing away from the stove!]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[That's right, woman -- how does it feel to be told to get out of the kitchen? And it's okay, Tsubaki would never deliberately subject you to the Voice.]

You're more than welcome. It's about time the rest of us tried looking after you for a change.

[And now to just try and look like she knows what she's doing until Litchi's gone and she can panic a little. Herbal blends wat? But she'll figure it out. SHE'S NOT NOEL.]

[not_meatbuns]

[Thank heaven she isn't Noel, or Litchi would be worried. But the herbal blend is pretty much already finished, just all in a packet on the counter. Litchi actually starts to retreat from the kitchen.]

I suppose you're right. Thank you again, though. You help me more than you may realize.

[She loves all of you okay ;_;]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[They all love you too and there needs to be a GROUP HUG... maybe once you're not so contagious, though.]

Considering the fact that I'm currently unemployed, I think I still have quite some room for improvement. Now go ahead and bundle up -- it's freezing in here and I'm sure that's not doing you any favors right now.

[It's okay, she's got this. Now

get.

out.



...Are you gone?]
