[He's in the middle if one of those hazy periods where he doesn't know whether to fall back asleep or try to awaken fully. Everything's a mixture of aches and dizziness and unrelenting heat.

He wishes he could run away and leave the sickness and the fever and the hospital behind, but it already takes too much energy to turn his head and smile a little at his friend when he hears her voice.]

Hey, Kairi. I'm not really sure.

[destinysembrace]

[She doesn't bat an eye as she goes over next to him, brushing hair out of his eyes so she can feel his forehead. Her smile fades into something tamer, though she's not full out showing how worried she is.]

Don't stay up on account of me. Go nap if you want.

[pullsheavendown]

[Her hand feels really, really good on his skin, cool and soothing, and he closes his eyes for a moment before giving the faintest shake of his head.]

Too much sleeping.

[destinysembrace]

[She wonders if a damp cloth on his forehead would help at this stage, or maybe worsen it. This illness has been making her paranoid, and with no cure in sight yet, she's been really careful in how she treats the sick.]

Fair enough. You got me to order around. Can I get you anything?

[pullsheavendown]

Coffee'd be nice. Can't keep much down.

[Another half smile.]

Just stay here. Talk to me so I know I'm not dreaming again.

[destinysembrace]

I don't know, Roxas. Coffee's not such a good idea for someone sick.

[Even if she wants to humor him. Maybe decaf? Last thing she wants is dehydrating him or giving him acid. He's already in enough pain.]

Talk, huh? What do you want to talk about?

[pullsheavendown]

Aw, Kairi...

Heh. I dunno. Anything. You ever been sick like this?

[destinysembrace]

You can have all the coffee you want when you get better. Not now though. I bought you some soup though, if you can manage it.

[Yeah, he'll get better. He has to.]

Mm, I barely remember it. When I was a kid, though since that was a long time ago, so I can't really remember too well. I think it was around the first week I landed on the islands. I was so confused, and I got washed up on shore. Memory loss and being soaked to the bone does things to you. That was a bad week for me.

[pullsheavendown]

I can try it.

[A little at a time. That might work. He fumbles for the button to elevate his bed, and listens.]

I know what it's like not to remember. But not the rest. Never been really sick like this. [Cue another fit of coughs.] It stinks.

[destinysembrace]

Just tell me if you're not up for it.

[She pours him out some.]

I have a good chunk of my childhood missing. But I'm okay. I just wonder sometimes.

[She sits herself next to him with it, frowning.]

I wish everyone would get better soon.

[pullsheavendown]

I'm okay.

[He's really not. But he can shift himself enough to make room for her on the hospital bed without succumbing to the wave of dizziness that comes with too much motion.]

I wonder sometimes too...what it would have been like. [Sip. Sip.] Was it nice, there on the islands?
