[palaiomator]

[a day or so after the... incident with osmaniac, she felt like something was missing, something had not happened]

[has just realized what that is]

[...she forgot to put on her sandals that morning!]

[which is why we now have a Hellas tiptoeing around osmaniac's property trying not to look suspicious]

[lifts self onto the ledge of an open window and peers in]

[greciangod]

[still on the bed where osmaniac last left him, looking as if he hasn't moved all this time]

[palaiomator]

[no movement in the dark room, ok!]

[slips down to the floor and starts to pad into the room, looking arooound...]

[FREEZES when she notices that someone's on the bed, ffff way2b vigilant, Hellas]

[greciangod]

[silent and still, the only evidence that he's even still alive is the slow and shallow up and down of his breathing]

[palaiomator]

[stares at, eyes adjusting to the darkness... wait a minute]

[creeps around the bed, squinting at that face, it couldn't be, why here... but it is!]

H...herakles...?

[greciangod]

[your voice sounds extra loud in the quiet of the room, but there's no response from him, no stirring, nothing]

[palaiomator]

[glances nervously at the door]

[lays a hand on his shoulder]

Herakles... [raises voice slightly] Herakles?

What are you doing here?

[greciangod]

[could that be a little movement of his eyelid...? no, must have been your imagination]

[palaiomator]

[shakes his shoulder a bit, getting a little worried]

[sure he's a sleeper, but has he ever been this deep?]

Herakles... Herakles, please wake up...!

[greciangod]

[he may sleep a lot, but for the most part, he's a very light sleeper]

[flops a bit from the shaking]

[all you get out of that is an audible exhale]

this is how my dad checks temperatures, forsrs.

[palaiomator]

[takes a moment to fret uselessly, then tries to focus]

[gently moves him so he's on his back]

[feels his pulse, smooths his hair back to check his forehead's temperature with a kiss]

That's so sweet!

[greciangod]

[definitely has a fever, and the sheets are slightly damp from sweat]

...

[emits a light moan]

ehehe ;u;

[palaiomator]

Ahh, he's burning up... Oh Herakles, what happened...

[hears it and gets even more worried]

[casts about, wondering if there's a basin and cloth in the room...]

[aha!]

[pours some water into the basin]

[greciangod]

M...Mama...?

[palaiomator]

[was dipping a cloth in and squeezing it when she heard him, and squeezes it much too hard in shock when she hears him]

[rushes over with the cloth, ignoring how wet her front is]

Shh, shh, Herakles, Mama's here... here, take this, Baby...

[lays the cloth on his forehead]

[greciangod]

[sighs gratefully]

...

...

...

[tries to speak... but his words are slurred, as if drugged]

......Sadiq...?
