What the heck did you do?

[ Hello? But she makes a face at him right back. ]

I know I don't need to do this. But, outfit aside, you look terrible and I'd feel bad if I just left you to it. So I'm not gonna.

[immortalpoet]

Argued with her. She took offense because she has thin skin and needs to toughen it up.

[Another looooong sigh, exhausted, but not wanting to exert effort to push her away.]

There are better things to do, really....

[bowtography]

You don't get to decide that for me! [ sing-song. ]

Anyway, I wouldn't get on her bad side again, lack of tough skin or not. You're the one suffering for it right now, anyway.

[ Which is why! They're going back so he can crawl into bed! ]

[immortalpoet]

Duly noted.

[In the sullen tone of someone told to behave.]

What do you...usually do for illness.

[bowtography]

Eat some soup, drink some tea, take medicine and crawl into bed!

[immortalpoet]

See, that sounds simple. Fixers are usually too busy to do that. Not like you can call in sick most times...

[It's capitalism hell, why would they have this.]

[bowtography]

Well, that doesn't apply here. If you've got the time to rest, you should definitely take it.

[ This is why you look so old (fond). ]

[immortalpoet]

What if I don't want to?

[You know. Like he always does.]

[bowtography]

Then you're going to get other people sick and infected and that's rude.

[immortalpoet]

As far as I know, this is a curse. And a curse is not going to just jump from person to person. Probably. She wanted to kill me. So...there.

[SO THERE]

[bowtography]

...

You really just tried to "so there" me? Really??

[ He's got to be Extremely Sick. ]

[immortalpoet]

Ugh.

[FUCKING DAY OF HIS LIFE not his worst one but still]

Don't...sass me.

[bowtography]

This is my natural state of being. C'mon, sickie.

[ Back to base. ]

[immortalpoet]

I have a name.

[PLEASE]

[As they walk along, though, he'll.....try to strike up conversation. Hrm. What to...talk about....]

Have you done anything.....interesting in this place?

[he's so bad at this]

[bowtography]

Interesting...

Um, I've been taking dance classes with Wriothesley and I like to go out and feed the stray dogs and I started working at a maid cafe! Maybe I can get you a coffee discount.

[ All exciting, in her opinion. ]

[immortalpoet]

[He glances down at his own maid dress.....no comment.....]

Wriothesley? That nosy guy? What dance do you do?

[bowtography]

Ballroom! I told him dramatic dips are super important.

[ A sage nod. ]

... Is he nosy, though? That's weird.

[immortalpoet]

Ballroom...like waltzing or whatever? Mm...would Malkuth...

[He starts, stops, as if realizing in his fever-addled state that March is Right There and he should not continue.]

[The question makes him snort though.]

Ah, so he hasn't asked you if you'd like to kiss him while you're drunk?

[bowtography]

Malkuth? I did tell her about it and she was gonna take lessons...

[ She'd add more, but then. You know. He brings that up and March legitimately recoils in shock. ]

No??? Maybe he knows I'd punch him if he did?

[immortalpoet]

Hah. Well. He asks things like that. Asks about my...relationship with Malkuth out of the blue.

[He grits his teeth.]

I think he thinks he's being funny. Next time he does it, I'll be sure to be hilarious.

[He is feverish he will not murder him fr but also. HE WON'T TOLERATE IT.]

[bowtography]

... Okay, Mr. Vergilius, let's get you to bed...

[ At least it's not sweetly condescending-- ]

Anyway, if he does stuff like that, just turn it back on him. He should be able to take what he dishes out, right?

[immortalpoet]

Tch.

[Tch!!!!!!!]

Yeah. Maybe. [And now a groan.] Ugh...look at me. I'm getting advice from you again. You don't deserve that.

[bowtography]

Sure I do. I'm great at advice, so of course you'd talk to me!

[ Is this true-- ]

[immortalpoet]

[HRM......]

Still. It's....embarrassing.

[TO GET ADVICE LIKE DAMN HE'S A GROWN MAN]

[bowtography]

I don't think it is.

[ Calmly. ]

Not everyone's got life experience in all directions, you know? Even people who have lived for centuries.
