[ Please no??? Sinclair shoots Oria a deeply alarmed look, but his next few words make him brighten]
Yeah? I can talk a bit more, I think. You know Ms. Rodya, so...[He's happy to talk about his coworkers now that he doesn't have to hide as many details. Hmmm, what would be a good story--oh, he'll talk about how Rodya managed to win her way into the top floor of a VIP section at a casino]
[ Yup, he's long since finished and puts his own tray back into the cart. With his free hand, he drinks some water. He tightens the hold on Sinclair's hand.
He's very glad that Sinclair ate his portion, because it means he has an appetite again. ]
[ Now that everything has been finished the cart leaves with a maid coming in and gives Sinclair a small pill for medicine and a brand new cup of water. Fresh. ]
Your fever only lasted half a day... you really do have a strong immune system.
Mm...maybe it was all your care. [Sinclair takes the medicine and water dutifully. He knows it would have been worse if he had pushed himself...] Though...do I seem that ill?
Yeah, it was bad. Honestly, if your fever can go away in half a day, there's a chance that you can recover from symptoms by tomorrow. You'll still need to take it easy for at least one more day though.
[ After symptoms are gone, he can recover all his energy. Yeah. ]
[ Sinclair is feeling stubborn now. He huffs and pulls himself out of bed. He takes a few steps to the bathroom and it really shouldn't be as tiring as it is]
See? I can-
[then he wobbles, the world spinning as vertigo hits him.]

[ His eyes almost glint from the prospect, but this is in part of teasing Sinclair. ]
How's your throat? I'd like to hear more about them and how you interact with them if it got better. Or you can just pick one and go with it.

Wow, she's really a mix of luck and strategy, huh?
[ He's assuming that she cheated somehow. There's no way... ]
no subject
[Yeah, Sinclair's still having a hard time believing it]
no subject
[ Oria laughs. ]
But I can see how that would work if she has the chance to bluff. A gambler, huh...?
no subject
[Sinclair feels a little dead when he remembers that conversation. Honestly...]
no subject
[ There's another sparkle in his eyes. Mischief? Maybe. It's definitely for his enjoyment though. ]
no subject
Do you want to play a round of poker with her?
no subject
[ He feels excited already despite that. ]
I'll contact her while she's still around then, but not today. All of my day is reserved for you.
no subject
As much as I'd like to see that...I'm glad.
[When Oria is done, he'll take his hand again.]

That you have me all to yourself today?
no subject
Mm. It's nice...

[ Not right now, because he wants Sinclair to rest. ]
no subject
[Sinclair brightens at the thought of a shower though because wipes don't feel that nice...they're something he's used during long missions out but]
I just have to get better by tomorrow, right?
no subject
[ After symptoms are gone, he can recover all his energy. Yeah. ]
no subject
[His temperature is still high, but this gives him hope. Free him from this hell honestly]
no subject
[ Oria eyes Sinclair a little mischievously. ]
Like carrying you to the bathroom.
no subject
[ Is this because he and Aria laughed when the maid carried him off the other day...]
no subject
No, he wasn't thinking about it, but he would have to get Sinclair there somehow. ]
Show me then.
no subject
See? I can-
[then he wobbles, the world spinning as vertigo hits him.]
no subject
You were saying?
no subject
That's. Um. Only because I was lying down all day...
no subject
Uh-huh.
[ Oria gives him a small kiss on the forehead. ]
Back to bed with you, unless you need to go to the bathroom anyway.
