*sound of shivering and sneezing.*

...well... that's over and done with.

Glad that I could help at least.

Heh, should have put some clothes on, besides my yukata of all things... Probably would have made shit a whole lot easier.

...guh, Anna's gonna kill me, same as Hana when he wakes up.

Oh, hey, the Funbari Onsen...

*sound of opening a door and then a 'whump'*

Hoshi? You're back?

...

Hoshi?

Hoshi!

...aha, that slap.

Yeah, she has, but really, it's just how she shows that A) you're doing something wrong and need to be slapped back to your senses or B) she's doing it because she cares.

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

...Then she must really care about Yoh-sama because she's slapped him more than a few times since she's arrived this past month! She's done the same with Hana-sama too, but only to rebuke him on choices he's recently made...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Yep! Hell, I've been slapped myself. *puts the now finished bowl of soup to the side.*

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

...That must mean you've done something wrong and Anna-sama had to slap you back to your senses...!

(Tamao 'eeps!' quietly as Anna returns with cups and another tray in hand-and smirk on face, strangely enough) Nice one, Tamao.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

*waves.*

Indeed. *nervous laugh.*

...ugh, suddenly I don't feel so good...

Lay down?

Blegh...

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

(hands Hoshi a cup, does the same with Tamao and the others before finally taking the last one for herself)

...Drink, Hoshi-neesan.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

*takes the cup for herself and she looks at Anna before drinking whatever the liquid is.*

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

(drinks some herself for a while before pulling the cup away)

...Once you've finished, get to bed and rest up. Tomorrow, your partner will replace you in your training exercises.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Alright, Anna-imouto.

...wait, what? Why Tailmon?

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

It should be obvious, shouldn't it? Hana's partner is replacing him while he's recovering from the flu. Naturally, since you can't train Tailmon will train in your place so she can get stronger and protect you at the same time.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

You know, you're right there. I'm sure Tailmon wants to achieve the next level of evolution... *sniffles.*

Alright, but be easy on her.

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

(nods while handing Hoshi a nearby tissue and medicine, she finishes her cup seconds later)

Of course. She'll only be performing the Electric Chair, running 5 laps back and forth across the entire island and running through D'Ango Forest-mainly what you would do if you weren't sick.

(thinks for a second or two) ...Then again, I'd have you run 30 laps or so, so in Tailmon's case we'll push hers up to 15-just so she'll be able to protect you as long as she's human.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

*takes the tissue and blows her nose with it and then she looks at the medicine.* ...what is this?

And, hm... that works. *smile!*

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

Faust made it; it's supposed to help cure colds, but it's not a substitute for resting and drinking fluids.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Oh... Okay!

*takes a sip or two of it.*

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

...You're also supposed to take this along with that. (motions to a pill next to Hoshi's other cup)

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Oh...

*takes the pill and gulps it down.*

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

...Get some sleep, Hoshi-neesan. You'll be needing quite a bit of it.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I think sleep is exactly what I'll do.

*sound of blankets being pulled over.*

Good night, Anna-imouto. Thank you so much for taking care of me.

[shaman-itako.livejournal.com]

...Of course. Good night, Hoshi-neesan.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Night, Anna-imouto.
