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]

[robopriest]

[He shakes his head, and resolves to get more water.]

It is okay, really.
No one could have known at all.
For now, please get rest.

[antaressnipe]

[... He knows he should not chuckle, but--]

I shall.

[Another smile]

Though I must admit, you have been turned into quite the poet.

[robopriest]

[He just lets out a low sigh.]

When I will find them,
That person who cursed me, I'll...
Shake them a whole lot.

[God these haikus are just getting worse.]

[antaressnipe]

[Jeanne's going to die, Yona is dead, Chiron can't remember who he is--

But his shoulders begin to shake in quiet laughter]

You have full rights to do whatever you please to them, my friend.

[robopriest]

[He frowns.......and then just smiles slightly himself, reaching over to put a hand on Chiron's head, ruffling his hair a little.]

[He won't say another haiku now, but he can at least show his appreciation this way.]

[antaressnipe]

[Ha.

And he can't even make a joke about being older than Hansa because he doesn't remember if that's true anymore.

So the other gets a slight huff and a smile before he pushes his bangs back into place]

All I ask is that you not over-exert yourself.

[robopriest]

Come on, I will not!
I'm here for the both of you.
I'll take care of you.

[And he draws his hand back and grins, wide.]

[He cares so much about them that it almost hurts.]

[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. ]

[robopriest]

It's mysterious,
And scary to think of that.
Poison was hidden.

[No one could've guessed that. Wasn't he stabbed? Its...incredibly insidious, if it really was done on purpose.]

[chanteuser]

I guess it worked, making such a spectacle of stabbing him, if they were looking to hide how he really died. But at this point are any of us out to be that malicious and risk others in the process?

... If Shigeo was like he was the other week, he might have been very single minded. He was focused on getting out and not willing to let anything get in his way. Maybe the poison was to weaken him? [ ... he'd still been Shigeo, back then though. he'd stopped and checked on her when she'd been hurt due to that week's rule, even if he had been acting differently. ]
