[Gabriel coughs a little in sympathy.] Yeah, I know. I've got it too. And nobody knows why, so... You can kinda get why I'm a little concerned, right?

[motioned]

[She looks at him a moment before speaking, clearly concerned.]

You can get sick too? Are you going to be okay? I didn't know angels could.

[uberboned]

We usually can't, but I know I'm gonna be okay, 'cause I'm not nearly as bad off as everyone else seems to be, so if I'm not allowed to worry about you, kiddo- you? Are not allowed to worry about me. Got it?

[motioned]

But that's different... And you really don't need to worry, promise.

[Because her huge double standards say so. :|]

How's Jinx doing?

[uberboned]

[Yeah, about those. :|]

She's fine- sick, but she'll live. [She damn well better.] It's Trauma who ain't doing so hot.

[motioned]

Is he going to be okay, too, though?

[Not that she actually... Knows who that is.]

[uberboned]

More than likely. Don't worry yourself sicker, kiddo. [He ruffles her hair.] Just eat some ice cream and relax.

[motioned]

[...Yeah, pout incoming.]

If you're allowed to worry, than so am I!

[uberboned]

I'm not worried! If I was worried, I'd probably be frowning a lot more. And, I dunno... Maybe my voice would shake or something.

[motioned]

But just a minute ago you said I was asking you worry!

[uberboned]

[WHY DO YOU LISTEN TO EVERYTHING HE SAYS, AHIRU.

HE CAN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING HE SAYS.]

I was just talking. And also, your memory is intense. I don't even remember saying that and it was three seconds ago.

[motioned]

[Pause. Wow, Gabriel.]

If you don't remember something you said three seconds ago, maybe you should be in here, too...

[uberboned]

[Oh, Ahiru.]

...That was... Mostly exaggeration.

[motioned]

...Oh.

[And then thanks to her handy medication and extremely high fever she's just going to stare off into space for a minute or so.]

Wait, what were we talking about?

[uberboned]

[/Jeopardy music.

....

........]

I have no idea.

[motioned]

Okay.

So, um, how have you been lately apart from this sick stuff?

[uberboned]

Nervous as hell. The wedding's in July. [He leans forward] I have never actually been married.

[motioned]

Oh, that's really exciting, though! I bet it'll be so romantic.

How old are you? Actually, how long do angels live? Forever?

[uberboned]

Forever until something kills us. And it's up in the billions now.

[motioned]

Wow, that long? You must have been able to do so much so far!

[uberboned]

Ohhh, I have a lot of experiences under my belt. [None are age-appropriate for this conversation.]

[motioned]

I'd bet so, after that long! It sounds really amazing.

Do you ever get lonely, though?

[uberboned]

[Awkward pause....] Not... really.

[motioned]

Really? Even though you're going to live longer than everyone you know?

[/ACCIDENTALLY INSENSITIVE??]

[uberboned]

[Gabriel only looks traumatized for a second and then he brushes it off, like she never said anything at all.] Doubt that. Half the people in town from my world here have outlived me.
