[There was a token groan of protest at being pushed back town, but it was a rather weak and pathetic sound.]

So you're not getting any better?

[A beat, before Teito catches that skeletal hand (after a failed attempt) then lifts it to press hard bone to his forehead.]

If your body can feel whatever illness this is, then why can't this place treat it?

[ibreakrules]

They probably could, but it's best not to get involved here.

[While this hospital would be more open to the idea of treating someone that wasn't entirely human, Frau didn't want to open himself up to the danger that could bring. He'd seen what Sero was capable of, and he wanted no part in it.]

[cracked_container]

Well then... [He'll just start pushing right back up out of this bed right now.] I'm not waiting here when you're still sick there, stupid bishop.

[ibreakrules]

Lie back down before I knock you out.

[It's a very real threat. Frau will do it without a second thought.]

[cracked_container]

[He almost ignores the command - but he knows that tone from Frau and he's really too weak to sufficiently fight it to begin with and so he does exactly at that.]

You better at least have some way to take care of your body here or I really will leave.

[See that look, closes thing to a petulant look he'll ever deny making.]

[ibreakrules]

I do. I sleep.

[Idiot. What else would he do? It's what his body was technically doing right now. What better way to get better than to sleep it off?]

[cracked_container]

[Not exactly what he meant. He lifts the other hand from the bedding to wave the IV line sticking out if it, then lets it drop back to the bed.]

I meant this... yanno... treatment or something.

[ibreakrules]

No thanks.

[He likes his body without any extra holes, thanks.]

[cracked_container]

[But they're okay for Teito, huh? Not fair, not! papa!]

Unfortunately for Teito, that much movement all at once really was too much. Another wave of dizziness and vertigo had him closing his eyes as sleep tried to claim him once again. He struggled with it, not wanting to sleep yet, and managed to crack an eye before blurting out a question that only just occurred to him. Because Frau might be able to tell him if it were true...]

Frau...izzat other kid really seventy?

[And yes, he's pointing a shaking finger at Hitsugaya just for good measure.]

[ibreakrules]

[Frau doesn't know Hitsugaya's real age, but he can still answer Teito's question. He smiles, rather amused that this is being brought up.]

Don't know his exact age, but yeah, he's a lot older than he looks. Feel free to call him an old man.

[cracked_container]

Hn.

[Yeah. He's sick, not stupid.]

If you're saying that, then no good can come of it.

[ibreakrules]

A lot of good can come of it.

[Just not for Hitsugaya.]

[cracked_container]

You're too suspicious. That expression can't be trusted.

[Still not falling for it, old man.]

[ibreakrules]

I don't have an expression of any kind like this.

[cracked_container]

Maybe not like this, but I know it's there, somewhere.

[Most deadpanned expression ever.]

[ibreakrules]

And you will never know what it is.

[Except there is little doubt that Teito can picture Frau smirking right now.]

[cracked_container]

[Oh yeah - he can picture it perfectly, and that's the reason he's glaring half-heartedly up at you skelly-ghost Frau.]

...you're smirking, like an annoying idiot. See? I know you just fine.

[ibreakrules]

Of course I am.

[cracked_container]

[Yup, more glaring.]

...did you just come here to try to get me to harass the other kid in the room?

[He meant adult, really.]

[ibreakrules]

Of course not. I didn't even know the two of you were in the same room.

[cracked_container]

[Glaring, unfortunately, was something that took more effort than would initially appear. Thus the quick retort was lost in the sudden wide yawn that slipped out of Teito, along with another wave of dizzy chills.

He breathed out a slight groan, then turned to curl up on his side a bit more, kicked off his covers once again.]

...why can't I shake this, Frau?

[ibreakrules]

You're asking me?

[Despite the sharp retort, Frau is once again trailing his fingers over Teito's hair to soothe him a bit.]

I don't know much about illnesses.

[cracked_container]

[That just earns a soft sigh as Teito closed his eyes. He's pretty much reached his limit for the time being.]

We're going to get better though, right?

[ibreakrules]

Course idiot. Why wouldn't we? Now sleep.

[Frau has no intention of leaving even while Teito's asleep though.]

[cracked_container]

[A good thing, that. Because had Teito been more fully aware of himself he would have been a little mortified to realize that whether Frau wanted to leave or not, he'd caught the sleeve of the robe in hand before that hand could draw away.

It was instinct and reassurance after so long with the memory of who he'd grown into suppressed, mingled with a faint fear that he'd wake up to find this freedom and this presence taken away from him once again - all fed by the guilt of allowing such precious memories to be stripped from him to begin with, and the pain it had caused his mentor because of his rash and foolish actions.

He slipped off to sleep with those troubling thoughts dragging him down, fingers clenching slowly tighter in the material in hand.]
