[ From the looks of the video feed, Hilda is in the kitchen of her apartment. The sounds that come from the feed indicate that there is indeed something on the stove. Hilda herself looks nervous ... and a little worried. ]

So, Vatheon gives us things we need to survive, right?

Does this include cold medication? Like, coughing, sneezing cold medication.

[ Spoilers: She's not asking for herself. ]

( ooc: ohhhh yeah, I should probably mention that this post is backdated to during this log. )

Then what about some blankets or turning up the heat? That should work too right?

[If it's going to be ike that, might as well make it into a sauna]

Or we can always use our pokemon as a source of heat!

He was cuddling with Zoroark, covered in multiple blankets, and he was still shivering ... I climbed in bed with them to help out, and he finally started warming up more after that.

[ Hilda, do you even know how that would sound out of context? ]

But it's not just the shivers ... he's actually got a fever, and he says his throat is sore. So, he feels chills and all that, but at the same time he's feverish.

[As Bianca listened, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her.]

So it means that body heat was able to help him warm up faster? Is that how to make the cold stop?

[But when she heard something else...]

Ah! I knew it, this cold does make you really sick! That means we really need to find some medicine here after all! [She pondered some more] Let's see...we'll need some cough syrup and maybe a lot of soup too!

[ DON'T GIVE HER THAT LOOK, BIANCA. ]

Well ... I got really cold, too, but I didn't get sick from it. But yeah, body heat did help.

[ She really does seem worried about him. So much so that she only barely notices that her shivers are coming back. It may be obvious to Bianca, though. ]

Do you think that his immune system might be weaker than ours? I mean, I can't claim to know his entire life, but he was pretty sheltered ...

[She'll give that look whenever she wants!]

Ah, why didn't you tell me! I could have helped out and make things better for you!

[Don't make Bianca go worrying about you again! However, that doesn't mean that she wasn't worried about N though]

I'm not sure but...I don't think it could get that bad? I think all we can do is just let him rest and give him some medicine.

[Of course, she was just guessing. Taking care of sick pokemon is different from humans!]

[ D-Don't judge me! It was the curse's fault! ]

A-Ah, well ... Any help you could give us would be appreciated, I guess.

[ She's trying to keep in mind that Bianca is Bianca is Bianca, but the idea that this Bianca wasn't the Bianca she grew up with was still hard to get over. She looks really unsure for a moment, but she shakes it off. ]

I hope not. I'm going to take care of him as best as I can. Ms. Saber just suggested he go to the coral when he feels up to it, so I'll take him there whenever he's feeling a little less sick.

[SHE'LL JUDGE ALL SHE WANTS!]

I'll be sure to get all the medicine and soup I can get! I think it should be free here but if not, that doesn't mean we can't do anything. I think just sleep and hot water would be fine!

[But she can't be too sure yet. As she was about to go off to the market, she looks at the communicator once more.]

We can try that! But I'm going to to try and find some medicine for N! I'll be by your door soon okay?

[ BIANCA PLEASE. ]

A-Ah, it's okay, I can get it ...

[ Such a weak protest, Hilda! ]

No, I’m going to where you are and that’s final!

[Sorry Hilda, once Bianca has made up her mind, it is impossible for her to change it.

That’s why within a couple of minutes later, you’ll hear a knock on the door.]

Hey, Hilda? Are you in there? You better not have left to get rid of me!

[ ... well, there it was. there was no stopping Bianca when she had her mind set on something. she sighed, deciding to stay where she was in the kitchen and wait for her. As she waited, though, the cold started settling in again ... crap. N was already worrying about her despite being sick himself, she didn't need Bianca worrying any more than she probably already was ...

She heard the knock at the door and turned the stove off, trying to hide her shivering as she moved to answer it. ]

H-Hey Bianca.

[ She stepped aside and let her in. ]

T-Thanks for coming ...

[The moment Hilda opened the door, she could see that Bianca had bags filled with whatever medicine she could find. She wasn't a doctor and she wasn't sure what kind would work best. She also knew that mixing them wasn't a good idea but...

Hey, when you're worried, what can you do?

When she stepped inside the room, she quickly placed the bags to the side.]

It's not a problem, it's what friends do right? [She said before looking by the bedroom door] N is feeling okay right?

[ She tries to hold back her shivering, which was slowly becoming more and more obvious with the more time that passed. She leaned against a nearby wall. ]

He's complaining of a sore throat and headache. He had a pretty nasty cough earlier.

[ She paused for a moment, a small, strained sound coming from her as she tried to push back the cold again, so she wouldn't worry Bianca more. ]

H-He's got a fever, but he's been getting those c-chills that have been going around the city ...

[As she listened, she began digging through the bag. Hm...]

Then he should get some medicine that deals with colds! Let's see...there should be something about sore throats and a headaches too...

[However, when she began looking through it, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Hilda.

Don't think that she couldn't hear those stutters!]

...Hilda, are you okay?

[ URK. Uh. Well. Okay. Bianca ... noticed. She smiled sheepishly, her arms wrapped around her body a little. ]

F-Fine! Just a little chilly, I guess ...

[Now Bianca is just staring at you some more. She's looking a bit suspicious here! Hm....]

And you're not feeling cold or sick right....?

[Because right now, she's walking a bit closer to you!]

N-Not sick at all!

[ COLD, YES, SICK, NO. ]

Just chilly! I-I'll be fine, Bianca, we should just focus on N!

[Sttaarreeeeeeeeeee

Bianca was starting to grow even more suspicious of Hilda. She didn't say anything but instead, she poked her some to see how she was feeling.

Man, when did Hilda get this cold?]

Are you sure you're okay? I can always use the medicine for you and N to sure! There's plenty to go around!

[ That small poke brought some warmth back into her system, but not enough to warm her up completely. ]

I-I'm not sick! I'm okay, really!

[Bianca wasn't convinced. Instead, she'll continue poking her.]

Is that so? ...Then why am I not convinced? [Don't mind Bianca just...staring at you]

I'm not sick, j-just chilly!

[ She sighs. ]

I got hit with the curse, too ... but I'm not sick, I promise.

[.....

Bianca didn't say anything but instead continued to stare at the girl in front of her. Before Hilda could say anything else?

Have a giant hug coming right toward you! ...And probably crashing into the ground.]

[ HOLY CRAP BIANCA WHAT DID YOU JUST--

rkingkrngkrng

And here we have two girls falling flat on the ground because of a giant hug.

Good job Bianca. ]

[CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGGHHHHTTTTTT- okay no.

But Bianca was still hugging her regardless of how awkward it might be. It does take a while for her to be warm so she'll just wait.]

So...are you feeling warm yet?

[ I'll be the Nala to your Simba, guuuurl. ;)-- I mean.

ANYWAY yeah this is awkward. But she is feeling warmer as a result of the contact. She nods a little from where she was on the floor. ]

U-Uh, yeah. I am. Much better, thanks.

... We should get up now.

[Iiyaaahhh, not here!

The moment that Hilda said that, Bianca quickly got off of her. Still, there was a small smile on her face later on.]

It's not a problem at all! I'm just glad that you're feeling better than before!
