[ 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.

Oh. I'm sorry... my head's a little fuzzy right now.

But... thank you, Xion.

[voice]

[whereibelong]

It's fine. I was sick once, and my head got really fuzzy too.

[She knows how it can get, though truth be told it'd been her first time ever being sick and her head had gotten much worse than "fuzzy" but... she'd gotten better so it isn't important.]

I hope you feel better soon.

[voice]

[fools_journey]

[ Only once? That seems a little weird to Minato, but then again he... gets sick fairly regularly. ]

Thanks... I hope so, too. ... the tournament starts soon.

[It's a little less odd when you've only been alive for two and half years, but it'll take a higher Social Link rank before she'll admit that part out loud.

At the mention of the tournament, her voice gets a little more subdued, even worried.]

Yeah, it is. [a beat] Are you entering?

[voice]

[fools_journey]

[ Clearly they need to social link more, then! ]

Mm. I signed up. ... The earlier tournament was fun, though this one seems like it will get very serious...

[ A little bit of an understatement, but well... ]

[voice]

[whereibelong]

Yeah...

[That's one way of putting it.]

I don't think I was here for the last one but... I'll be going this time. Two of my friends and... [there's an odd pause] my older brother are entering. So maybe I'll see you there.

[As long as you're feeling better]

[voice]

[fools_journey]

Maybe - maybe I'll even face them. But... I hope your friends and your brother do well and stay safe. You, too.

[voice]

[whereibelong]

[She laughs a little wryly]

With any luck, it'll be Sora.

[Sora, her older brother who hadn't even awakened his Persona yet. And little did either of them know that Sora actually would be one of Minato's first opponents]

But yeah.... I hope so too. And you.

[She still doesn't really like how dangerous this is, but if her friends are there, she wants to be there too to help them.]

[voice]

[fools_journey]

[ What dramatic foreshadowing! But he smiles faintly and nods again. ]

Mm - I'm going to go back to sleep, I think.

Thank you for talking with me, Xion. I hope we see each other again when I'm well.
