[Accidental Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[This isn't the first time Emil has returned home to an uncomfortably quiet house. It's not unusual for H to be out somewhere during the day, but there's something strange about today, a weird feeling in the house that causes a sinking sensation in the pit of Emil's stomach. Hoping against hope, he's going to head upstairs and open the door to his housemate's bedroom... only to have his worst fears confirmed.

Once again, his journal falls to the ground with a thud, popping open to record a strained, shaky voice.]

N-no... no, not again... no... please...

[OOC: I know, I'm still on hiatus, but Emil wouldn't not react to his housemate vanishing.]

[knightofratatosk]

You wouldn't mind?

[corrinesbell]

Do I ever mind?

[knightofratatosk]

... thanks, Sheena. I'll be over in a few minutes.

[corrinesbell]

Door's open.

[knightofratatosk]

[A short while later, Emil will be poking his head around the door to make sure he's not just wandering in without someone knowing he's there.]

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena appears to be dozing off on the couch]

[knightofratatosk]

... um, Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

[nope sorry]

[knightofratatosk]

[A little louder now.]

Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

[wakes up this time, giving him a dazed look for several seconds before sitting up]

Sorry, Emil.

[knightofratatosk]

That's okay, but are you feeling all right?

[corrinesbell]

Not really. [shrug] It'll go away though.

[knightofratatosk]

[Worried now.]

Are you sick? Maybe you should go to the clinic...

[corrinesbell]

It's just a cold, no big deal. Forget about it, you look awful.

[knightofratatosk]

I do?

[Damn. He was hoping that he didn't look as upset as he felt right now.]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. Come sit down.

[knightofratatosk]

[Not gonna protest that at all. Wandering over to the couch and taking a seat now.]

[corrinesbell]

[trying not to look like she's watching him]

[knightofratatosk]

[Even if she is, he's not in the state of mind to really notice right now.]

[corrinesbell]

Do you need anything?

[knightofratatosk]

I'm fine, but what about you? If you're sick I can make you some tea...

[corrinesbell]

[maybe giving him something to do will help keep his mind off it?]

Sure, if you want.

[knightofratatosk]

[It's worth a try!]

Okay, what kinds of tea do you have?

[corrinesbell]

Just check the kitchen. We've got a lot.

[knightofratatosk]

There isn't a certain kind you'd prefer?
