[ video ]

[ 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.

Sorry...

[ Minato shifts and shrugs further under his blanket ]

'm just waiting for water to boil

What the heck are you apologizing for?

[He shakes his head a second time, this time in disbelief, walking into the kitchen to stick the ice cream in the freezer before returning to where Minato's bundled up.]

I'll keep an eye on the water for you. What were you going to make with it?

[fools_journey]

[ He isn't quite sure why he apologized either - just that he felt bad for being sick and making his friends worry. But Akihiko is busy putting ice cream away, so Minato doesn't explain. Instead, he just watches his friend. ]

Tea...

[ There's a mug next to the stove and a tea bag in it already. ]

[risetocaesar]

I'll take care of it. Want anything in it?

[As if on cue, the whistle on the tea kettle goes off, and Akihiko turns towards the stove to tend to it with an almost surprising efficiency, considering with the way he eats, most people would assume he'd never seen the inside of a kitchen.]

[ He shakes his head and -- watches Akihiko with a little surprise. But it's a nice kind of surprise. He's glad he doesn't have to really hover, so he slumps back over to the couch, assuming things will be in good hands. ]
