(Open) Sick Days

When Dove woke up this morning, he felt... strange. He felt sluggish, heavy, his head was pounding (Without questioning Maruki's reality, at that...?!), he felt warm, he felt cold... A lot of things that didn't really make any sense.

'How odd', he thought to himself. 'Why do I feel so... awful?'

He could have stayed in bed. He could have just rested up, and gotten back up and at 'em the next day, or whenever he started feeling better... but really, he wouldn't be Akechi if he wasn't stubborn.

So he got up, and decided to try to go about his daily routine...

--

Option 1: He decides to visit Leblanc first, trying to get a cup of coffee for the sake of waking himself up. Unfortunately for him, his stomach curls as he begins brewing the coffee... Ugh, why does it make him feel worse when he smells the coffee...?

Unfortunately, he's slow as molasses so if anyone else wants a cup, then that may be a problem...

Option 2: He's passing through the Velvet Room, looking practically like a zombie. He's pale, he's clammy, and yet he still keeps going. He opens the door from Tokyo, and as he reaches the door to Iwatodai he simply stares blankly at the doorknob. He... needs a second, he tells himself. His head's spinning a bit as he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

...What's he even trying to accomplish, anyway? He's not entirely sure, he just feels terrible. It's not like it's time to go to Tartarus anyway, it's way too early in the day for that...

Option 3: He's next to the subway as the various cognitions pass him by, completely oblivious to how he feels a gust of wind could knock him over.

He can't lay off his training. He knows that. He knows that, and yet... he feels like absolute garbage. He's holding his phone in his hand, staring at it with a glazed look in his eye. Can he really fight like this? It's a horrible idea, especially when he's alone... He also knows that.

He's duty-bound to continue his training though, so he gets ready to click the Meta-Nav on his phone... This is a horrible idea.

Hannei shrugs. She is a little upset that plans got pushed back but…
“You didn’t get sick on purpose. It’s not your fault” she can’t hold it against him.
Just means she gets more time to plan out the snacks hehe!

She stays with dove as they’re transported to the entrance. Thankfully she’s not being judgmental about the sick thing.

“Well, it’s a good thing I’m here then!” She grins. “I helped Muhen-San when akechi-kun got sick one time. He was being really stubborn about it! But I’ll be able to help” let’s see, what did Muhen have her do last time.
Fluids, that was important, medicine, and lots of rest. Ok, she can do that!

She gives him a grin, maybe a bit sharper than usual, but it feels genuine.

“I’ll hold you to it. But first you need to get better”

Oh yeah she knows stubborn, she is stubborn! Especially when she wants to get what she wants.
And what she wants is to help her friend.

“That’s Akechi-kun for you! I’m willing to bet it’s a constant” at least from what she’s observed so far. Some things don’t change huh?
