[ sneezes & sighs, shivering as he emits a small groan as the pounding of his head intensifies for the moment. slouches a bit so that he can press his face into brianna's shoulder, his body tucked against hers as close as possible in a (futile) attempt at borrowing some of her heat.

still, he has enough energy to look up when a nurse calls a name (thankfully not his or hers). closes his eyes again afterward, sighing quietly in relief. feels terrible, but the dread & fear of the woman behind the doctor's door is enough to make him cough out a few words. ]

I want to go home...

I'll bring some for you, too.

[ shakes her head. ]

No, I will bring them to you. Please, go rest.

I'm feeling better. I can get them.

... [ nods, slowly letting go of his hand. ] I will make you hot chocolate, then.

[ nods & rushes off into the house to gather the blankets from his bed, only swaying once as he clamors up the stairs. after having gathered an armful, he slowly makes his way into the room with the comfortable couch & fireplace, setting the blankets down on the floor & collapses on them, breathing in their freshly cleaned scent with relish. ]

[ does her own job at her usual pace, making sure everything is perfect in the process. as she waits for it to heat up, however, she moves from the kitchen to her own room, thankfully after albert is finished with his gathering of the blankets. crawls on her bed and picks up the black plush cat sitting there, nodding once in approval before going back to the kitchen to nab the items there.

eventually she makes her way into their destined meeting area, gently easing on her knees to get to albert's level. holds out one of the mugs to him. ]

[ had been dazing a little before the scent of hot chocolate brings him back to full consciousness. face is a bit flushed from both his cold & his momentary fun when he lifts his head from the sheets; reaches forward with both hands to accept his mug. ]

Ah... you're here.

[ nods, handing him his drink. ]

I am always here.

[ takes a careful sip. ]

Mm...

[ shifts so she can sit with her legs sprawled out, cupping her mug between both of her hands. watches him, observing. ]

[ another sip. ]

I'm happy.

Happy?

Yeah...

[ puts his warmed cheek back against the sheets, not wanting to move just yet. ]

[ tilts her head in confusion. picks up her stuffed animal, placing it on top of albert's head to see if it would stay there. ]

[ is still enough for it to stay, his breathing evening out as he puts the mug down on the ground & slipping into another quiet daze. ]

[ once again watches him in silence, unsure if he had fallen asleep or not. an impulsive urge makes her raise her hand a bit, looking as if she's about to reach out and touch his hair. stills half-way through, however, pulling back again to place the hand around the mug, eyes averting elsewhere. ]

[ takes a while, but soon he's peeling himself off the pile of blankets, leaning back against the couch. reaches for his mug & sips at it, squinting at brianna. ]

[ does not even notice that he is looking at her for a good chunk of time, and it is only when she slowly turns her gaze back on over to him that she blinks in surprise. ]

[ blinks blearily. ]

What're you doing?

[ sounds a bit confused when she speaks. ]

I... am sitting here?

Oh.

[ a short pauses. ] Do you wanna draw again?

[ reaches over to pick up the plush cat to sit it upright on her lap, settling in again. ]

If you would like.

I'm okay with anything... do you know other games?

[ seems to think hard on this, idly rapping her fingers on the edge of the mug that still resides in her hands. ]

I think so. [ places the mug and plush on the floor as she stands up. looks down at him, her words more of a question than a statement. ] I will be right back.

[ nods, looking up at her with anticipation. ]
