Cherry tried her best to ignore Mallow's words. She could maybe handle a friends with benefits thing...but she sure as fuck wasn't going to say it out loud. "...Get under the water Cher, you still smell like sex." Cherry shot a glare at Mallow, though she still tilted head towards her arm as she raised it. She scrunched her nose, "Well, yeah. I smell like something..."<br/><br/>Soon she was in the shower with Mallow, "Look, last night was fun. You don't have to look at it as a fling if you don't want to. I just know I am not putting any stock into this, capiche?" At that, Cherry squeezed a generous amount of shampoo into her hand, the bottle making a loud squelching noise. She put the bottle back on the floor and began to wash her hair. As suds formed on her head, she looked towards Mallow's form, briefly glancing over him. "Anyways, you don't look so bad yourself--but cool it on the compliments. It freaks me out..." she cut him off before he could speak, "I don't know why, okay? It just does."<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>"Yeah I hydrate, Mira. I just don't drink an entire day's serving of water in a couple minutes. You feelin' alright?" the killer asked in seeming concern. Mira narrowed her eyes, cutting them to look at the white haired man. "Don't fuck with me Kai," she warned, letting him know that she had picked up on his bullshit. "We both know you don't give a fuck," she finally stated, putting down the glass despite her thirst remain untouched.<br/><br/>"Why did you turn into Chuck earlier?"<br/><br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Brie heard the voice of her lover curse before her only comfort was pulling away from her. She gave a slight whine, but otherwise curled into a ball, cocooning herself in the blankets. What felt like ions rather than seconds, Brie felt the bed dip and a warm rag dabbing across her face. She gave a satisfied sigh at the sensation, finding it to be very soothing.<br/><br/>The weight of Thyme sitting on the bed disappeared and soon two new voices joined. At this point Brie did everything in her power to open her eyes and succeeded only half way. What little light there was felt absolutely blinding and caused her head to throb, which made her wince. When her vision cleared, she took in two figures and could only assume one of them was male and the other female based on their voices. Otherwise they were blurry colorful blobs in front of her. She buried her face back into the pillow with a whimper.<br/><br/>"Brie. Hey there, Brie," a soft, female voice said. "Can you sit up for me?" she asked soothingly. It was then that Brie realized the voice was one of the PM physicians. Brie swallowed some, willing the bile she felt in her stomach to stay there. "...no..." she managed to croak out barely above a whisper, her eyes beginning to fill up with tears behind her lids. "It's okay, Brie. We'll help," the woman replied reassuringly. The sound of sheets and pillows being rearranged were in the background. Suddenly Brie felt herself being gently pulled up into a sitting position and against the very pillows she heard being rearranged.<br/><br/>The movement caused the fragile hold the woman had over her stomach to break and she lurched forward. It seemed someone in the group had anticipated that and there was already a bin placed in front of her. After emptying what little she had in her stomach, water was put up to her lips and she sipped some before being sat back into the pillows once more. A thermometer was placed in her mouth and the device seemed to come to a conclusion rather immediately, beeping (what Brie felt to be) loudly. A hiss came from the background, "High fever no doubt, Thyme. She's 103 right now. We gotta get that down before we do anything else. By the looks of it, though, she probably has the flu. She does work in a hospital, so it wouldn't surprise me if she picked up a nasty strain of it."<br/><br/>'The flu? I guess that makes sense...it certainly feels like the flu...' Brie thought to herself distantly. Her eyes were closed as she focused on making the world feel stable again.<br/><br/>"Call up some cooling blankets---we'll get her hooked up to an IV to re-hydrate her and bring down this fever...Don't worry, Thyme. You know how it is with Brie. When she gets sick, she gets very sick. She'll probably be up and about again in two days."
