I understand that many of you do not enjoy this type of weather. The ongoing heat and lack of a cool wind, even as the season of fall comes ever closer to us.

However, some of us do feel quite comfortable in 'oppressive heat'. And among those people, some of us were foolish enough to attempt to enjoy a much cooler climate and suffered some aftereffects due to the lowered defenses of the immune system.

What I mean to say is that I should avoid seeing others for a short while.

[Someone has attempted to make soup. Sion better enjoy it.]

[ She stares at it like it might be something awful. When did Akiha actually learn how to do household things. ]

[action]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[She didn't. She just learned how to use a can opener.]

...aren't you going to eat it?

[action]

[computations]

If I find out how you made this, yes.

You have found yourself ill?

Text

[computations]

That seems to be the case, yes.

Text

[pure_lineage]

Ill with what?

Text

[computations]

Diagnosing myself is dangerous but I would call it the common cold, brought on by a lowered immune system combined with being in a warm, humid indoor area populated with numerous people.

[He had never been sick, not like that at least. Mental illness was far different from physical ones. This is... fascinating... to a point. SOLDIERs simply didn't get sick unless it was mako poisoning after all.]

I see. Illness is not something I am familiar with. Cloud, however, would be far more knowledgeable.

If you ever find the time, it makes for a good research topic.

I have no need for such things for I cannot fall ill with viruses.

Text

[computations]

Whether you are susceptible or not is not a qualifier for wishing to research something. Many things can be done with bacteria or viruses beyond making people sick.

[While it's only text, Sephiroth's lips do quirk up at that even if the gesture is bitter.]

That is something I am more than well aware of. I lost my taste for research long ago.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Why does that matter? [defensive - yes] You're sick. I made you soup. Now be a good girlfriend and eat it.

[computations]

A shame. There is still much to learn and even more that needs to be applied.

[action]

[computations]

The idea of you making something carries unpleasant connotations. That is why it matters.

[action]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Eat it.

I know well the applications that viruses and bacteria can have. There is no shame in no longer seeking any further knowledge. However if you intend to research them, I would do so cautiously.

Re: [action]

[computations]

Give me a moment. Besides, have you not heard of bedside manner?

[action]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm not going to coddle you just because you're sick. I made you soup.

Re: Text

[computations]

Your concern is noted but I have finished my research in that area years ago.

Re: [action]

[computations]

Fine, fine.

[Give her a moment.]

[Impatient tapping of foot happening over here.]

[His eyes narrow suspiciously on the other end. Something burned within, a remnant of old hatreds and anger, but he kept it contained. Fortunately enough he was only communicating through text.]

And what area do you research now?

[After a grumble, she brings a spoonful of soup to her mouth and sips at it.]
