[Action, February 2nd.]

[ Joshua hears the sound of something making noise downstairs, so within a few minutes, he is down the stairs. ]

... Feel free to make yourself comfortable.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

[Oh, that sound was probably the coughing. Hisoka's breathing hasn't been stellar in the last week or so. And since he was attempting to move today, everything was a bit of a disaster. He grimaces when Joshua returns downstairs, giving him a bleary stare.]

...Won't be here long. Just. Need a minute, okay?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... ]

What are you doing near the center of the village in this state?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

Trying. [Nope that sentence isn't getting out without some hacking.] T--trying to. .. Library. I can make it. Gonna be fine.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

... I highly doubt that.

I'd offer you tea, but all I have is coffee. Would you like some?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

[He shakes his head.]

Won't be able to keep it down.

[If he looks a little thinner than usual, that would probably be why.]

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Sigh. ]

Water.

[ That is not debatable, that is Josh telling you he is getting you a mug filled with some. ]

Why the library?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

Not going on bedrest.

[It's a firm assertion.] Gonna prove to Tsuzuki I'm still okay.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Here, have your mug. ]

Unfortunately you're now going to have to prove it to me first.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

[He accepts the mug, but doesn't sip from it. He's not a quitter!]

Don't you start too.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

Hisoka, you show up at my house coughing your lungs out. I'm not about to let you go back into the cold like this.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

I'm not just going to sit inside all day and get worse.

[There's an annoying little bit of him that knows what bedrest leads to and NOPE NEVER AGAIN.]

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

... Do tell how it would make you worse.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

It would mean I've given up.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

... Given up what? Trying to kill yourself in the cold?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

[He shivers even though he's feverish, pulling his discarded coat over himself as a blanket.]

The last time I was sick like this, I never recovered.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Oh. ]

Do you think this is the same thing?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

Maybe. It didn't happen this quickly the last time.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

But everything else is the same?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

So far. Trying to find a way to stop it before Tsuzuki and Draco start to put it together.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

Unless your intention was to try freezing it out, I don't think whatever you were trying to pull today is going to do you any favors.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

They don't need to know I couldn't make it all the way.

And you're not going to tell them.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

What do you gain from this, Hisoka?

[ Because right now Josh is seeing "pneumonia" as the only answer to that question and like hell he's letting you leave for that. ]

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

Can't stay healthy if I don't keep moving.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

You can't stay healthy if you're not healthy. So I'd say it's a bit late for that.

Anything else?
