[conciliates]

Ah yes, I can see you have your fair share of groaning, moping, coughing, hacking and snot-producing, all while horizontally positioned, already cut out for you. It's a wonder you found the time to be speaking with me at all.

[restitchtime]

Hey, everybody makes mistakes now and then. I'm going to have to push all that back significantly now to deal with this; I hope you appreciate the effort I'm putting forth to bitch at you.

[conciliates]

I absolutely do. Now kindly stick the heat-gauge in your orifice of choice so that I may have a moment of peace.

[restitchtime]

Actually I think I'm going to interpret moment of peace differently than you and just have a nap. Makes things easier for everyone that way. [good to know that being sick doesn't make her any less difficult to deal with]

[conciliates]

To my understanding, rest is as important a factor towards the physical recovery of humans as it is for trolls, so you might as well go and do that. I hope you realize I'll still be here when you wake up, though.

[restitchtime]

Doubt that. I made sure to take some pills for the pain, so you ought to be taken care of in an hour or so.

[conciliates]

Yes, it would be quite convenient for you if all that was needed to banish me from your surroundings were an orally-consumable chemical substance, wouldn't it? Tragically, my presence is not so easily exorcised.

[restitchtime]

Sure it is. All I have to do is close my eyes and wait for someone that looks vaguely upset pass by on the street and you'll go running out after them. Easy as that.

[conciliates]

I think that's a slight overestimation of my meddling nature, Rose.

[restitchtime]

You've technically cut through the barriers of the universe just to take my temperature, Fussbudget. What I said is an underestimation at best.

[conciliates]

[ a shrug ] Perhaps, but I feel no stronger inclination to help distraught passersby than the average person. I prioritize, you know.

[restitchtime]

Trying to make me feel special isn't going to make me more cooperative, you know. It's good to hear that you're not indiscriminately trying to preserve paradox space's emotional state, though.

[conciliates]

Oh, I know. I've long since learned that the only way to get you to cooperate would involve knocking you unconscious, and that is a method from which I'd really rather abstain.

[restitchtime]

Yeah? That's too bad, it'd remind me of when I was little.

[conciliates]

[ the corner of her lips tugs downwards ] Unfortunately, I'm not here to serve as your surrogate lusus.

[restitchtime]

Good thing, too - having to wear sunglasses all the time would probably kill your delicate fashion sensibilities.

[conciliates]

Especially ones so ridiculously pointy, yes.

[restitchtime]

Out of all the things wrong with our shades you take offense to them being pointy? Christ.

[conciliates]

Well, it's not that there's anything fundamentally wrong with sunglasses as an accessory, per se, so long as they accompany the correct outfit. It's simply difficult for me to envision an outfit that would be considered "correct" in coalescence with such comically shaped shades.

[restitchtime]

I almost got another pair, but my asshole of a brother decided that being a kleptomaniac was cute. If you want to get upset with somebody about my glasses, I'd go for him.

[at this point she's going to subtly try and drink some water from one of the bottles dumped out on her bed. hey, she's sick. hydration is important.]

[conciliates]

I'm not upset, only slightly visually affronted. I've come to think of it as an endearing character trait, by now.

[ she was going to pretend she doesn't notice, but drinking it straight from the bottle, really, Rose? there is a very real danger of choking here! ] I brought cups, you know. You may want to use one.

[restitchtime]

So long as you're not ripping them off my face I don't care what you think about them.

[she's not six, she can drink from a water bottle without dying thank you very much >(] Why, are you going to confiscate what's left of the water after I get better? That's harsh.

[conciliates]

No, I just think it would be more comfortable.

[restitchtime]

Fussbudget, I'm sick. Comfortable is the last thing I'm supposed to be right now.

[conciliates]

Really? Because I was under the impression that making one as comfortable as possible when sick was proper conduct among humans.
