[Rapunzel looks absolutely miserable...she's pale, her nose is runny, and every time she tries to talk, she starts coughing and sneezing.

She groans a bit.]

What...what's wrong with me...? I...I've never felt like this before...

[She bursts into another coughing fit, which ends with several sneezes.]

Oh...oh dear, what was that...?


[As somebody who's never been sick before, she's scared and confused.]

You're sick. [Stated as this should be obvious, but still polite and kindly as a doctor should be in such as situation.]

I'm sick....?

[Mother has told her about sick...rather, the plague and horrible murderous viruses.]

Do I have the plague? Am I gonna die?

Yes. Looks routine. Unless something more pesky. Or have a compromised immune system. Should pass within a few days.

This is precisely why people wear shoes.

[He sounds both amused and concerned.]

You'll be fine. You just need handkerchiefs, chicken soup, and lots of sleep.

Eugene...I've never been sick before...am I going to die...?

Hmm. Could be problematic. Immune system becomes stronger because body is constantly fighting off disease. Hence being sick makes you stronger overall. Can manage still. Quarians as best test case for having little immune system.

What did I just say? You'll be fine. Don't worry! I've been sick LOTS of times, and look how well I turned out!

[hesitates, then a little shyly]

Do you want me to come over?

Being sick...makes you stronger? I...don't really understand.

[She's quiet for a minute, because she's coughing.]

...yes please...I'm scared, Eugene...

[Seconds later, a sound comes from Rapunzel's front door. Eugene, of course, goes straight for the doorknob, not bothering to knock.]

[She coughs and sits up from the couch. Pascal is on the arm of the couch, keeping an eye on her.]

Eugene...? Is that you?

[He'd have a snarky response, but she sounds so miserable that he just can't.]

Yeah, it's me. Wanna let me in?

Coming!

[She gets up and goes and gets the door, and yeah, she looks rather awful.]

[He instinctively recoils, just a little.]

Geez, you look like death warmed over.

[Foot, meet mouth.]

Oh, no, I am going to die?

[Way to go, Eugene. Now she looks absolutely scared and horrified.]

No, no, no! You are absolutely NOT going to die! Well, I mean, someday, yeah, we all will, but not today!

[k;aljd;fl WHAT DOES HE DOOOOOO? He looks around desperately.]

We should get you back in bed. On the couch. To rest.

[mentally slapping himself on the head]

Immune system reacts to outside disease. Disease gets defeated. Immune system learns how to react to a particular type of disease in faster better method for the next time. By being sick, it becomes harder for you to become sick in the same manner, or a similar manner. Disease does change, so not perfect system, but does its best. Does that make sense, or do I have to use metaphors?

So...so I don't have the plague, then?

[She's still scared, but she's a bit more relieved now.]

From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
No, never...I've never been sick before in my whole life...

Do I have the plague? Am I gonna die?

...so, if you get sick...your body knows how to fight what got you sick the first time, so you won't get that again...or if you get that again, you can fight off the sick a lot better?

...I think I understand....

[For a girl who nearly beat him to death with a frying pan and held him captive with her hair, she could be so adorably vulnerable. He smiles reassuringly and starts to lead her back to the couch.]

No, you don't. It's just a cold. Come on, you need to rest.

A...cold? But I feel cold and warm...

[She follows him and immediately flops on the couch, startling Pascal.]

Mother never talked about colds when she told me about sicknesses...she only talked about plagues and deadly infections and viruses...

You've never been sick...

S'prob'ly not the plague. Looks like it's just a cold. It don't last too long.
