Canon Bump - Getting Worse

[lil_tanuki]

[It's an interior shot of the Yagami household as the briefest motion of green and yellow was seen, as Shamal exited her room, almost too indistinguishable to be recognized due to the angle of the camera. Hayate is burning up, her cough getting worse as she clutches her chest.]

Sick again... how long has it been since my last cold...

[This really wasn't a cold, as she fumbles for the remote and turns off the light, only for her hand to seize up and drop it to the floor.] O-oh...

[The date of the calendar read Dec 15, just ten days before Christmas. It was going to be a fairly miserable Christmas if Hayate was feeling this way as she tried to sit up. The world seemed to swim for her as she fell back on her bed.]

S-so weak...

[There was a shuffling from her room door as another form barrelled inside, and the video cut off from there. But it was apparent, Hayate was getting worse.]

[lil_tanuki]

Thank you, Retasu. I want to be better, I know it may happen I just... I'm scared.

[aquaticrush]

I wish I could help.

[lil_tanuki]

Just being able to talk is enough right now. I like having people to talk to.

[aquaticrush]

We're here to talk to. We'll make sure you aren't alone.

[lil_tanuki]

Okay, sounds good.

So um, how have you been lately?

[aquaticrush]

Not a lot has happened lately...

[lil_tanuki]

Oh I see...

... do... you want to come over? Shamal says I'm not contagious. And I promise I'll keep Vita from growling at you.

[aquaticrush]

All right. Are you hungry?

[lil_tanuki]

I could eat. What is it that they say? Starve a fever, feed a cold?

[aquaticrush]

Sandwiches? Fruit basket? Cake?

[lil_tanuki]

Fruits sound good. Cake might be a little bad for my cold right now.

[aquaticrush]

I'll be right there!

[lil_tanuki]

Okay, see you when you get here!

*Soon enough, there is indeed a fishgirl on the doorstep with a fruit basket.*

[lil_tanuki]

[Shamal lets her in, and there's some gauging looks from the family, and a glare from Vita before Hayate rolls out and bonks her on the head.]

No glaring. Thanks for coming.

[aquaticrush]

*Retasu bows and removes her shoes.* Um, hello! Ah, hello, everybody. I'm very sorry to bother you.

Re: [action]

[lil_tanuki]

Nonsense, we're happy you're here.

[At least Hayate's mobile, somewhat. As the family disperses to do other things, she rolls over and gestures to the couch.] Please have a seat.

[action]

[aquaticrush]

Okay! *She closes the door and follows after, nervously sitting down. The fruit basket goes on the table.* Um, how are you feeling?

Re: [action]

[lil_tanuki]

A little better. Not great, but I'm coughing still. [Hayate lets out a cough, and weirdly enough it sounds kind of cute.]

[action]

[aquaticrush]

I hope you feel better soon. Is there anything I can do for you?

Re: [action]

[lil_tanuki]

Can you help me to the sofa please?

[aquaticrush]

Ah, sorry! *She gets up and goes to help Hayate over, being extremely careful not to knock her onto the floor or anything.*

[lil_tanuki]

[Once situated, Hayate nodded.] There we go! And thanks for coming over, I needed more company.

[aquaticrush]

It isn't a problem. I think everybody gets lonely sometimes.

[lil_tanuki]

Yeah. My family's home more often recently, but they're out at all hours of the day just as often.
