[ Late Friday morning, Minato manages to coordinate his sluggish movements enough to start a video feed on his COMP. He'd honestly rather just ask this by text, but he's having difficulty focusing enough to type, and video is easier. He's looking pretty pallid, though his cheeks are flushed with fever and his eyes are a bit glazed, as he sniffs and shivers and blinks blearily at the camera. ]

Anyone know where to go to see a doctor? [ His voice is very froggy, and although he opens his mouth to say something else, he breaks off with a cough, and he turns the COMP away while he recovers, muffling his coughs into the crook of his elbow. ]

Ah... sorry. I also... wanted to know if the doctors here made house calls...

[ It's cold outside, and he has a fever and doesn't relish the thought of stumbling to a clinic on the other side of the city. ]

Thanks.

Sleep sounds good.

No... no honey. No lemons anymore. Why?

[ He used the last one last week when making dinner. ]

For your throat. Cough enough and your throat gets pretty damn raw after awhile. It helps with that—clears it out and keeps the coughing down. Just need to add the lemon juice and honey to hot water. It does its job.

Oh... I'll ask Minako to bring some, since she's coming over... that sounds good. Thanks...

[Well, that's surprising.

She's going to end up sick, too, if she ain't careful.]

It ain't nothing to thank me for. Common knowledge is all it is.

Like not going out during the Dark Hour every damn night.

[ Well, that comment hits a little home, considering that.... Minato has been out every night this week. Whoops! ]

Ah... I suppose...

[ But let's be fair. Minato gets sick from spending too long doing homework sometimes... His immune system is screwed regardless. ]

Still.

[ He's grateful for Shinji's concern, if nothing else. ]

[He figured. But what's done is done.]

Still?

Still... I didn't think of it... [ he interrupts himself with a sneeze ] And you're kind...

[ The latter is added rather groggily, as Minato rubs an eye. He seems to be fading a bit and will probably fall back asleep soon... ]
