     "Your latest piece must be quite the work for it to drain you like this," Allegro smiled almost teasingly from his side of the round table. He rested the side of his face against his fist and ushered Isolde to drink her tea. "It's lemon tea. I'm not too found of it, but maybe you will. It's good for bringing back energy."
     Giving her time to herself, he gazed around his castle's courtyard, observing the flowers that persisted in the winter, and the butterflies that migrated over. "It's always a pleasure seeing the butterflies from around the world coming here. So many different colors and designs. Every year I find a few new species. Aren't they beautiful?"

     A moment later, Allegro smiled back at Isolde. "I know how nice it feels to breathe life into the staff, especially when the music plays over in your head like a nagging fly. I'll refrain from writing until you feel better for solidarity." He leaned back in his seat and laced his fingers over his chest. "In the meantime, why don't we play a game? We'll each describe the forms of a song until the other can properly guess what it is. I'll start. First hint: tertiary form."

nekomortis "P-please lord Mortis. my mistress insists i keep you in good shape. j-just let me have a look at the cuts!" 

pleaded the tomcat. he didnt want to be punished for neglecting his duties to keep his mistresses closest ally healthy. after hearing news of him entering a recent hard battle and emerging victorious but in bad shape she had sent her favored slave to him for care. he was thankful or at least he would have been thankful for the assignment as it didn't include any hard labor or pain on his part but the stubbornness of the satyr made its very stressful for the cat to try and keep him in fighting shape. 

"i-if not for your own sake could you at least let me look for my sake? i know its not my place to ask but please let me take a look. i dont want to be beaten when i return to my mistress."

(i assume mortis would not be opposed to allying with a slaver since hes evil)

@ NP if terri gets sick and taken care of his owner or a healer his owner hired. so either your character owns him or is a healer in this scenario. see it as an opportunity to show off your evil OCs if you decided AGAINST being the healer

KRANOT (hopefully you dont mind the ping lol)

cw for implied neglect and/or abuse (not by iliya though, the fella would never), hope this is ok but i found it to be an interesting thing to write

@ np, ping if you respond please!! also iliya doesn't necessarily get sick a lot, but he does overwork himself a lot because he often works independently in his work field, rarely getting help from others and thus adding onto his workload, basically overworking himself to the point where he does get sick lol, do what you'd like with that. regarding if you should call him iliya or coyote, really just depends on what you'd like to call him. lorewise in the present he is called coyote but his past self is iliya, i don't have a preference on what you pick

v bwaghh this is so sweet i love it.. thank u pony for taking good care of my boy, i'm sure he needed it a lot lol, here is a response :D

myoukyomou hi i assumed they already know each other for the purposes of writing this, hope that's okay! :)

( edit: ^^^ WAHh... iliya is such a sweetheart get well soon king, thank you for your lovely reply)

"You look like you're feeling pretty bad," Pony remarked softly, stepping into Iliya's room. He'd heard the coughing the moment he'd stepped in the door of the nurse's house, and Iliya certainly had the look of one going through a rough illness. The lieutenant had insisted that he come over via a terse set of text messages- he wasn't much of an expressive texter, just like his real-life communication- and now found himself at the nurse's home, carrying with him a backpack full of what he hoped were adequate supplies to treat Iliya's sickness and to possibly have a nice time besides that. After all, the man was probably bored out of his mind, sick and unable to do things here by himself. He knew that Iliya was generally quite busy, like himself, and staying still for once might be more difficult than anticipated. Moreover, also like himself, Iliya was not a man of many words, and so their communications with each other tended to be short and sweet. Still, Pony considered himself empathetic enough to read between the lines. A friendship between two reserved people like themselves could only thrive if they both had enough emotional intelligence to figure each other out. Luckily, that was the case.

He sat his hefty backpack on the chair by Iliya's bed, fishing around in it. Apparently, the man carried quite a bit around with him.

"First, cold medicine. I got the capsule kind, so you don't need to deal with the liquid..." No one liked the liquid. He began making a small heap of things on the bed next to Iliya; his little pile of curatives. "I got a bottle of orange juice, 'cause... vitamin C is good, plus you need something to take the cold medicine with. Anddd..." more digging around in his bag. "Cough drops. Because you sound... you know..." he trailed off, not wanting to rag on him too much for having a cough that sounded like death. Pony stood straight, examining his friend with some concern.

"I hope you don't mind me saying this, really, but you need to take care of yourself better. Or this'll keep happening. Try not to work the way you do so much. But I'm not here to lecture you. I wanted to say, I... brought my laptop, and I have Netflix, so... if you're bored, you know. We could watch something. I didn't want to just leave you here in bed alone. Unless you want me out of your hair so you can go to sleep." After an indication from Iliya that perhaps his presence was appreciated, Pony settled down in the chair. And, with some hesitation, he removed his surgical mask, placing it in the backpack. The two were good enough friends that Pony didn't feel that Iliya would judge him for his appearance. He wasn't that sort of person. At the same time, it still made him uncomfortable, but he wanted his trusted people to know that he, well... trusted them. The lieutenant balanced the laptop in his lap, tilted to make sure Iliya could see the screen.

"... Oh, if you want, we could order food... I don't know if you're up for eating or not, but maybe some nutrients would make you feel better. It's up to you, though."

( V AW this is sweet, poor pony is going thru it. illanya is a lovely character, i read her page and i think she is a treasure... pony was lucky that she stumbled across him and let him drink out of her nice fancy teacup ^_^ i'm sure he would be very intimidated but also grateful hehe, she has quite the energy about her )

 silket here we go :3

“Enough. If you keep squirming under that blanket you’re never going to get better.” A rough voice would sound over Pony, a gaunt and pale face with what could be easily assumed as baleful eyes focused down on him. Certainly, a somewhat frightening scene to find oneself in while hiking. 

Truth be told though, the undead kneeling at his side doesn’t seem hostile at all. In fact, upon closer inspection there is concern and worry in those glowing eyes. Why wouldn’t she be concerned. The man had nearly toppled off the trailhead and into the steep mount groves below. Illanya had scarcely enough time to grab him by the scruff of his backpack and yank him away from an almost grisly fate at the bottom of the mountain.

Even through his clothes, she could feel his feverish temperature, and his coughing fit certainly weren’t helping him any. Weary of leaving this man in the wilderness alone, the undead half carried and dragged the man to her camp. Unlike most camps, it was void of any technology. A simple bedroll on the ground is all she can provide Pony, a somewhat tattered blanket thrown over him as she starts a fire, placing a well loved tea-kettle on the makeshift stove of stones and wood. Occasionally she would glance back, standing to make sure Pony rested, or giving him a warning look should he try to walk away.

It takes a solid few minutes of peace before the undead jostles his shoulder to ensure he is awake before offering a tea in a rather nice cup, clearly one that is well cared for.

“Drink that, and get some sleep. You’ll have to wait to ride this out. You aren’t well enough to keep going and I won’t stand by and watch you topple off a cliff because you thought you could power through your feverish delirium.”

@ np Illanya doesn’t really get conventionally sick, but sometimes her scars and old wounds hurt, and she becomes un-well that way, needing time to rest and become comfortable in her body again. She also just generally become unwell in colder climates, her muscles are sorer and stiffer and she struggled to move as much. You can also use oh Illanya if that suits better.^^

"Oh!" He stood staring down surprised at the undead being sniffling and shivering from some sort of sickness, presumably. Being a nurse and all he'd normally know exactly what to do yet near-immediately distracted instead... "Y- are you dead?...or? How did you get sick?" He seemed cautious- "Would medication help you? A compress maybe? Or- uuugh this is confusing!" He was driving himself crazy and instead of asking a million questions decided to walk off for a moment and return with a small, OTC pill bottle. "This would help right? It's cold medication...and after taking this you should be able to sleep easier...if you sleep?- sorry!" He handed over a pill to her quickly and brought over a thin blanket to make her more comfortable, although not one that would worsen the fever of sorts.

"Please drink," Xander said. He gently placed a glass of water in front of Hernandez. The old man had a worried expression on his face as he studied the nurse's expression. He was familiar with the stress that a heavy workload could give a person. So familiar.
"Just take a breather, sir. You are doing fine." Xander pressed a thin smile on his face. "Just fine," he added. Xander gently tapped Hernandez' shoulder. "The water will help with the headache. With the shaking hands. I promise," Xander said. The old singer leaned backward and pinches his nose. "Silly," He muttered. Xander shook his head in disbelieve. "I would not call you, 'Silly', sir." Xander plucked his glasses from his nose and cleaned it, as he continued. "I do know that a friendly tap on the shoulder and a glass of water isn't enough to help you in the long run," Xander said. His fingers paused, and the old man looked up at Hernandez. His smile had been swapped for a frown. " I do hope you don't... Continue down this path. That's all I can give you... Advice, sir." He chuckled. A sound made out of impotence. "But, no job is worth dying for, sir." Xander's gaze shifted back to his spectacles, and he kept silent as he dusted off the bridge. "Oh, and don't forget to finish your water."

SDLKDF I LOVE THAT! Xander waking up in Ambrose's apartment

Argal claiming just in case bc this’ll take a bit lol 🫡

“J, right?” The nurse stood next to the bed in which J were laid, at the moment running a pretty high fever which had been caused from a more serious sickness— alike to the flu. “I’m Hernandez, your nurse just so you know. Since you’ve already been seen by a doctor and got everything tested out…” He were looking through some sort of medical documents. “…you’ll be staying overnight or such so you can be observed, just to see if this improves with the medication you’ve been gave.” His ear tilted while he set the papers down. “Sickness like that can be pretty serious, you know? It’s for the best…” He took notice of what looked to be an anxious look on J, which he quickly tried to reassure her. “It’s pretty stressful to you, I guess?” She nodded in response. “Mhm, guessed so. You should really relax the best you can, you probably don’t feel too great J. I could get you some food? Or water? If you want there’s a TV remote too…Anything to make this more comfortable.” 

After a bit of conversation he’d walked away after handing J a TV remote to put on what she wanted, and retrieved her a warm soup. She’d received it on a tray, the warmth of the food helped to comfort the crummy feeling regardless. “And…” He spoke one last time. “If you need anything else, or an emergency of course…” He pointed towards a button on the medical bed she were on. “This notifies someone to get you help A-S-A-P, okay?” … “Now…try not to stress yourself anymore than you have, please. I’ll come back to check up on you in a few hours or so, just the usual temperature and vitals stuff.” 

Rosemary, the ditz that she was, had her immediate thought to the situation be... why couldn't Hernandez care for himself? He was a doctor! ..But then she swept that thought aside, quick to realize that it was stupid to assume he could do anything in his current state, laid out on his bed. She was cautious around him, doing the work quickly and quietly, but not too quickly and quietly. He seemed the mercurial type, a bit easy to startle. She had no clue how to relate to paranoia and illnesses of the mind, more the type to wave that sort of thing away with a good ol' "just do some yoga" type comment.

But, anyways, there she was now. She spared Hernandez a careful glance as she put his medication together, studying the scarred half of his face until he decided to peer back at her, at which point she would only lower her head in embarrassment, her cheeks hot and rosy. Even more alarming to her was the supposed presence of something... supernatural. Unholy. Could that possibly be a reason for his instability?

How could she help him?

"Just need to take these meds here." she spoke to him in her southern drawl, softly in an attempt to soothe him, "Won't be so bad, and I got you some water here if you need it..." She trailed off as she looked him over a second time. The ears, the horns, the... yes, yes, something had to be going on here, right?

..Oh well.

"You've got to just take a quick rest is all. You're gonna get sicker if you keep working yourself to the bone." she chided, "Um... how about I do soooome... organization work or something? Like clean up 'round here, all that..."
