[The way things turned on their head is stunning.

And Bennet can't help but be amused, even as he replaces the damp cloth that sits on your forehead.]

Chicken noodle soup or chicken tortilla soup?

[everymanhashisprice]

[he is not at all pleased with this turn around. Though, in a way, he's happy you've stuck around to take care of him. Terran and Sandra would be looking after him, otherwise, and he much preferred you. He'll perk and eyebrow at you, curling into the pillow he was latched onto in bed]

... noodle. Please...

[itdoesntmeananything]

How're your vices?

[He'll fiddle with your hair - he remembered that you did end up liking that.]

[everymanhashisprice]

What do yah mean, kid...? [his voice is hoarse, he's holding off coughing. Maybe it was the flu-- he didn't get shots for that stuff, always made him more sick. He'll shove the irony down.]

[itdoesntmeananything]

Your nicotine craving, mostly.

[everymanhashisprice]

I'm shaky and miserable and not much else.

[itdoesntmeananything]

If it gets too unbearable, I'll see if I can get a nicotine patch for you, okay?

[He'll lean in and give the bridge of your nose a kiss.]

Just hang in there.

[everymanhashisprice]

I'll be fine, kid... [a held in cough, mostly because he knew if he did cough he probably wouldn't stop]

... you're gonna end up sick, taking care of my ass.

[itdoesntmeananything]

Not likely. I had my flu shot because I knew better.

[Hey, you teased him about jacking off, let him have this one.]

And you know you'd rather have me around than anyone else. My heckling seems to amuse you, at least.

[everymanhashisprice]

I don't... [light cough! Hold it in] Get those... always make me more sick...

Besides... The heckling's universal... I like your face more than Terran's glaring at me. [because Terran would think this is all a waste of his time, despite his fussiness for these things]

[itdoesntmeananything]

You're pretty frail, when it comes to these things. It's pretty strange.

[everymanhashisprice]

What things--? Hey, don't call me frail... [glaaare]

[itdoesntmeananything]

You must have a weak immune system. Then again, your body is always working so hard to deal with the toxins already in it...

[everymanhashisprice]

[the weak immune system was probably due to all the drugs he did as a teenager, though the smoking and drinking he did now certainly didn't help. He'll put the towel over his eyes to cool down a hide]

The damn flu's only bad 'cause now I'm in withdrawl...

[itdoesntmeananything]

Kinda weird, seeing you look as unhealthy as your lifestyle.

[everymanhashisprice]

Shut up... everybody gets the flu... [drinker or smoker or not!]

[itdoesntmeananything]

I've never had the flu.

[Hah! Something he can boast about, for once.]

[everymanhashisprice]

Because that damn shot works for you... [only vaccine's that worked for Brandson were the STD ones]

[itdoesntmeananything]

It comes in a nasal mist, now.

[everymanhashisprice]

I'm not shooting flu up my nose...

[itdoesntmeananything]

And that's why you're where you are right now.

[everymanhashisprice]

My body's not meant for that shit... [it interfered with the blood in his alcohol system]

[itdoesntmeananything]

Well, next year, let's get you a real flu shot. Or mist, if you have to.

Better to do it with the controlled strain of the virus that won't kill you, like this one might.

[everymanhashisprice]

I'm not gonna die, don't try to scare me.

[itdoesntmeananything]

You're not, but if you keep getting sick like this, your body is going to wear out way too fast. You don't want a lifespan of only 40 years, do you?
