☆ 002 | Day 18 | End of afternoon

[the_original_rebel]

*Little Louis and his blond hair have become a familiar sight around the Amagi Inn. What was less familiar today was his behaviour. He had come back from school looking a little off after a detour in the Shopping District. He was now in the common room, waiting for dinner, looking even more off than before: staring at the TV with eyes glazed over, his face red, and wrapped tightly in his yukata and the coat that came with it. He must have caught something in the rain of the last days. Convince him to go to bed, or even better, pamper him?*

[ As Equius is strolling past the common room, he sees the sickly looking child just kind of... there. So, he approaches, more out of pity than anything else. ]

Are you well?

[twiceinhabited]

[Amane have seen the boy around the inn, but never approached him before. So while she walk, she happen to come by the common room when Amane see him.

Pause.]

Are you okay?

[the_original_rebel]

*Pity will do.* The room is cold. *Nothing to do with his human body running a fever, nope.*

[the_original_rebel]

*Lucifer looks at her a bit dazedly.* Now that you mention it, I'm not sure.

[strongjumps]

[ Clearly, the answer is no. ]

It is not that cold here.

[ And he notices that the boy is unusually red. ]

Are you supposed to be that color?

[twiceinhabited]

You're not sure? But you don't look well.

[the_original_rebel]

IF you must ask to be sure, most likely not. *He touches his cheeks, then his forehead. Oh, awesome. He's burning.* Great.

[the_original_rebel]

Then I am most likely unwell. *He doesn't feel very good compared to earlier days, that much he knows. As to what is wrong with him, he doesn't know. HE just feels very odd.*

[strongjumps]

[ Equius scoffs. Little brat. ]

So clearly something is wrong. Why are you not in bed, resting?

[ He gives the boy an incredibly stern look. ]

You must rest if you wish to regain your strength, after all.

[twiceinhabited]

You most likely caught something. [Did you spend too much time out in the rain, you man?]

[the_original_rebel]

*Lucifer is both surprised and amused by this teen. Very few even dare to speak to him in this tone of voice and look at him so sternly.*

Very well. I shall go regain my strength, as you say.

*He gets up carefully and begins to walk toward his room, feeling like his head is full of electric cotton balls.*

[the_original_rebel]

That would be a first... *But then again, it was his first time as a human. Without his powers, perhaps he was vulnerable to human diseases now.*

[strongjumps]

[ Equius simply watches the boy get to his feet, and then it hits him that maybe he shouldn't leave this wiggler alone. ]

Boy. Do you know where your room is?

[ Because that is a legitimate thing to worry about with a sick and potentially delirious child. ]

[the_original_rebel]

Yes. Why? *Damn his head is pounding.*

[twiceinhabited]

You just need to rest and stay warm, then you'll get better eventually.

[the_original_rebel]

... perhaps I should go to bed right away, then.

[twiceinhabited]

Do you know where is your room?

[the_original_rebel]

Yes... *He gets up slowly as changing the angle of his head makes the pain flare up. He winces, but manages to get to his feet.*

[twiceinhabited]

[Walks a little closer to offer her hand.] Can I help you go there?

[the_original_rebel]

*Lucifer wordlessly takes her hand, teeth gritted against the pain.*
