That is not staying hydrated.

[He has the nerve to sound amused]

Shall I bring some to you, then?

[robopriest]

Oh, please, just don't, please-
Stay right where you are, Chiron.
I'll get some for you.

[UGHHHHHHH]

[Yeah, keep having your conversation, he's just going to get some water for you both. :/]

[antaressnipe]

... I am far less sick than she is, Hansa.

[BUT IS THAT REALLY TRUE, CHIRON?

IS IT REALLY?]

Ah, well... it seems he's left us.

[chanteuser]

[ flat stare from the bed ]

[antaressnipe]

[... Shifts around a little.

Don't look, it's fine.

He's not moving moving!]

[chanteuser]

[ good!!! ]

Do you need a blanket?

[antaressnipe]

... It might need to be a big blanket.

[Oh no, here it comes--]

Alex, did you realize I have four legs...?

[chanteuser]

It’s a big bed, there are big blankets.

[ ... ]

Remember when I told you to trust me? This is one of those times. Even if things seem different to you, everything is fine.

[antaressnipe]

-- Ah, yes.

[He seems to settle after being reminded of the promise, and goes back to laying on the ground without complaint]

But yes, a blanket would perhaps be wise...

[chanteuser]

[ hang on it’ll be a little slow because she feels pretty off, still. but she’ll shuffle to the end of the bed with one of the blankets and drape it over chiron’s back.

his horsey back... ]

[antaressnipe]

[his horsey back he only barely remembers but--

He'll glance over his shoulder at the blanket spread over him with a faint smile]

Thank you, Alex.

[robopriest]

Here, water for you.
And here is water for you.
Drink up you two. Please.

[HERE HE IS WITH THE WATER AND HANDING IT TO YOU GUYS BETTER GET WELL >8I]

[antaressnipe]

[Smiling gratefully as he takes a bottle and probably downs the entire thing in five seconds.

He's a horse. Him big.]

Thank you, Hansa.

I apologize for the trouble. Truthfully, I should have known better than to touch a wound without gloves, but...

[WHELP sometimes that's just how it goes]

[chanteuser]

[ she is sipping her bottle instead but she’s definitely drinking it ]

Thanks.

... We all really should’ve been more careful, I didn’t even think that this was something that Shigeo would’ve... [ well. She didn’t think poison is what would have killed him. ]

[chanteuser]

You—

[ and a hand is pointing out from the blankets ]

— are also sick. No moving.

[ they have two non-poisoned people here to bully into dumping water on them? ]

[antaressnipe]

I am far less sick than you are... if necessary, I can move.

[Who bullies the doctor when the doctor's sick? No fuckin clue]

[chanteuser]

You don’t know that.

[ stop!! That!! stay where you are!! ]

[antaressnipe]

I have more body mass than you, Alex.

[... A pause as he-- y'know what, he's too tired to even question why there's a horse attached to him]

The poison takes longer to circulate in me.

[chanteuser]

You should be the one drinking more water then, shouldn’t you?

[antaressnipe]

... True.






So I should go fetch some, then.

[chanteuser]

Stop, Emet-Selch just brought a load with him.

[antaressnipe]

[it's fine, he's getting scolded in real time by that very person]

[arkitect]

You should remain where you are.

[firmly, with no patience for argument.]

[antaressnipe]

[... He puts his head back on the ground like a scolded animal]

I only meant to imply that you and Hansa need not over-exert yourselves if it isn't necessary...

[Chiron can't even tell but this is his equivalent of a divine tantrum]

[arkitect]

We will both be fine. You, however, require rest. I will not have you trip down the stairs for something I can easily do.
