</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca frowned, but took the offer anyway. He hated being sick. And it came at such a bad time too. Luca let Aries carry him. It was a good thing too because the moment Luca was leaning against the other's back, the exhaustion took over and he fought to keep from sleeping. Even so, the way back to the hunters headquaters was hazy. Luca knew he fell unconscious a few times. He couldn't remember exactly how they came upon the building. But as they entered, they were greeted by a few hunters who allowed them inside. Luca barely acknowledged them being shown to a room -not the same one he'd stayed in. With a groan he was helped into the bed. It felt good to lay there.<br/>
<br/>
After a moment, Luca managed to gain enough strength to listen to what was being said. One of the hunters was speaking, but not to him. It was a woman, one of few that Luca had ever met. "He's sick. Nothing to be too concerned about, but he does need to rest. It's a type of flu. No need to worry, we have medicine for that, he just has to take it. This one once every six hours, fill the cup to the line here and have him take all of it. I'll have someone make something for him to eat. Soup would be best. Make sure he drinks water. If he sweats, there is a towel and a bowl you can use to help him through the fever. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be back with food for both of you."<br/>
<br/>
The door to the room opened, then closed gently as the hunter left. Luca took a deep breath and tried to sit up. Where had his energy gone? Was it because Aries was with him that he felt he didn't need to go to the depths of his soul to gather the will to even move? With a sigh, Luca simply lay there. He should probably remove his vest and shirt, get comfortable, but he didn't have the strength to do any of that. Luca grimaced as he lay there. "You aren't really going to make me drink that, are you?" Luca said softly. It was light hearted, but he also hated medicine. The only reason he'd taken it before was in the hopes it would help him regain the strength he needed to fight Alex. But if he had a choice... he wouldn't take it. The last time he'd gotten sick was a long time ago, when his boyfriend was still alive. He recalled the sour look his lover had given him, right before forcing it down Luca's throat. <i>Cruel... but it helped I guess,</i> Luca thought as he lay there.</span>
