► Go from there!

[this is so ridiculous, but she can't bring herself to care. she places a hand lightly on his, smiling despite herself.]

[tortileghostwriter]

[ridiculous is kind of par for the course at this point. he finally pulls back, still mirroring that smile with one of his own.]

[thorny]

[yes, she supposes so. she raises an eyebrow at him, but the smile doesn't completely disappear.]

Satisfied now? I'm fairly certain you can't get much sicker.

[tortileghostwriter]

[he dials it back to a light smirk.]

The infection had already set in, quarantining it can't make it worse.

[thorny]

[too late bro, she saw that]

Except that I'm fairly sure your intent is to stay long past your own recovery and thus reinfect yourself again in a vicious pathological loop.

[tortileghostwriter]

[oh well]

My immune system is hardly so frail that it can't block a pathogen it's already fought off.

[thorny]

Perhaps when given a significant recovery time, something which you seem determined to forgo entirely.

[tortileghostwriter]

Are we simply ignoring how antibodies work...?

[thorny]

If it doesn't fit my argument I don't see a reason to bring them up.

[tortileghostwriter]

Ah, yes. Of course, how foolish I've been. I forgot for a moment how you operate.

[thorny]

Tsk, tsk. And here one would have thought you'd at least become passingly familiar with my methods.

[tortileghostwriter]

It was but a brief slip-up.

[thorny]

Considering the mundane situation in which it occurred, that doesn't speak well of your ability to focus.

[tortileghostwriter]

I should think that my current state lends a degree of leeway.

[thorny]

I was under the impression that I was supposed to fake respecting you far too much to allow petty excuses such as that to stand in the way of my withering criticisms of your mistakes. Has this changed since I was last informed?

[tortileghostwriter]

Hardly. Rather, allow for my usual masterful status to be occasionally withered by circumstances beyond my control.

[thorny]

I could never do that to someone as flawless as yourself. It's simply criminal to even consider for a moment that something so petty as the whims of the universe could cow you.

[tortileghostwriter]

Preternatural talent does not remove one's underlying humanity.

[thorny]

Given your persistent attempts to scrub it out I thought that I'd acknowledge your effort and assume otherwise.
