[And after yet another fairly troublesome mishap in her room, Flora finally manages to turn her Gear on. She had been meaning to just send a private call, but it didn't look like that was possible now. Her skin's taken on a sickly yellow tint, with black lines creeping from her neck to her cheeks, and her dark eyes are now a bold ruby color. There's probably more where that came from, but she's got her blanket wrapped about her.

For a long second, Flora just stares at it, watching the blinking light flash back and forth, but then she sighs in relief.]

Oh, thank goodness, it's not... broken a-after all...

[She scoots a little closer, pulling the blanket tighter around herself to hide the marks.]

F-for... everyone... afflicted w-with... w-well, everything... I... I--hope we all f-find a cure soon! Just... h-hang in there!

[Bravest smile she can muster, before she wiggles closer to her Gear and reaches out for it, showing her black-marked yellow fingers for a split second before she pulls her hand back in. Nope, still afraid to touch it. A nervous glance at the gear, then at the door.]

...P-professor?

A little... help... here?]

[But thankfully, her Mareep, who's been watching this entire scene sadly from the side of the room, takes pity on her and goes to turn the connection off for her.]

[She catches those fangs, but she won't bring them up if he doesn't! Seeing as he's just as optimistic as she is, she just giggles.]

B-but it's... not t-that late, Rin! T-that and... sleeping's... a b-bit difficult at the moment. W-why are you... awake?

Difficult? Maybe you need a warm drink. [He's a little concerned now, but he has a feeling that she has people around to take good care of her.]

Me? [Whoa wait, when did the tables turn?] Well, j-just lying in bed waiting to get better is boring s-so...

I could... t-try. I had t-tea, but... i-it wouldn't settle well. [The side-effects aren't being very nice to her. But thankfully, she's got a papa person to coddle her... and the other half of the household.

She has to smile at him, though.] Sleeping will... m-make the time go faster, you know.

Maybe soup. A little bit of ginger could help your stomach... [If he knew that, he'd be more content. But alas...]

[He manages to frown a little at her suggestion.]

Sleep's boring. And a little uncomfortable since I'm warm and it's been a warm day. Still, not as bad as it could be...

I... may try ginger. The... t-the soup d-din't. [She looks away at that, but as he points out his own uncomfortable situation, she perks up.]

M-maybe sit outside? I spoke to t-this one gentleman. A-and... he said t-the rain felt nice. M-maybe... It will help you too?

Ginger tea? Ginger candy? [Never tried ginger candy before, but if it gets her to have ginger in her system and potentially do go things, then it can't be bad! ...Or it could make her worse. Twas a gamble.]

[At the mention of rain he scrunches his nose.] Don't think so. I mean, rain ain't bad or nothin'. I'm not feeling up to getting all wet. [The very thought was ... unwanted.]
