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?

[everymanhashisprice]

I won't ever have to be old, that way... [he doesn't really mean it, but his tone is more bland with the holding back of coughing]

[itdoesntmeananything]

[Bland or not, that feels a lot worse than getting stabbed in the ribs for you. But he does try to blow it off.]

...That's a shame. I'd miss you.

[everymanhashisprice]

Hah... doubtful... by then, you'd be even more sick of me... [a joke, though he wasn't sure if you were being serious by that odd expression you had]

[itdoesntmeananything]

You're such a part of my routine that it's strange to imagine not having you in it.

[That and he loves you, but.]
