Hello everybody, I was wondering if-

[Your usually cheerful broadcast from Milly is interrupted by a sudden burst of coughing and spluttering, and come to think of it, she sounds a fair bit croakier and stuffed up than she usually does.]

Excuse me. I was wondering if anybody's got any remedies for a terrible co-

[There she goes again.]

Cold. I hiccuped myself into a pond and I think made myself sick, and I've got far too many things to be getting on with- achoo!- to waste time being sick.

[Understatement of the century, it sounds like, as she's suddenly coughing and spluttering again.]

...my head hurts.

[And lo and behold, after that voice post Wolfwood pokes his head into the room. He's hardly cared about preserving his health around her; cooties, what are those? So he casually comes in and plops down on the bed beside her.]

Head still hurts?

[stungunning]

[Oh no, Darling, you can't possibly come in here and get my yucky cold, that would make me feel even worse if you were all sicky and spluttery.

...which is why she's pulling the covers up over her mouth so that she can't go breathing all her germs all over you and making you poorly too.]

Mm-hmm.

[And she'll just be curling up in ball, unable to get warm even under the blankets and shivering under them.]

[notabluesbro]

[BAH, humbug! He just smiles sympathetically, leaning in to rest on the same pillow. Aaaah, what a day. Wife is sick and it's cold today to boot. At least he's not a lady anymore.]

Anything I can get you to make that feel better? I heard you were scouting for remedies.

[stungunning]

Mubbe thum chi-

[Oh dear. That wasn't exactly coherent. She'll just... be pulling the blankets away from her mouth just a teensy bit.]

Maybe some tea-

[Cough cough cough cough cough and back under the covers she goes.]

You're going to get sick too.

[notabluesbro]

Baaah, I'm pretty good at not getting sick, though! Besides, if I do we can crawl under the covers and stay sick together, right? In sickness and in health?

I'll get some tea warmed up for you. It'll probably do wonders for your poor pipes.

[stungunning]

[She tries to laugh at that but it doesn't do her cough any favours, and this fit leaves her all trembly when she's done.]

Can you get me another pair of socks and maybe a sweater? I don't feel very warm at all.

[notabluesbro]

[He puts a hand on head, humming.]

Weeeell, that favor depends on if you have a fever.

[... How bad is it, Milly? :|]

[stungunning]

[That is indeed a fevered brow you have your hand on, but she's not about to admit to that.]

Which answer is going to get me socks?

[Sniffle.]

Can you pass me a tissue?

[notabluesbro]

... Socks, we can do. But you're way too hot to be wearing sweaters. Don't you know that kind of thing boils your poor brain? [Said as he casually hovers a box of tissues in front of her.] Just take it easy for now. Are you hungry, too?
