[Today in the mess hall, there are sick kids trying to act like they definitely aren't sick.

She's not going to listen to you.

[mind_over_metal]

Are you?

[needsahandjob]

No.

[mind_over_metal]

You're sick. You probably have the flu.

[needsahandjob]

I was so sure you'd say pneumonia, and be melodramatic about it.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm serious!

[needsahandjob]

Me too.

[mind_over_metal]

And so is the flu.

[needsahandjob]

I know that.

[mind_over_metal]

Then why are you being so bloody stubborn? You don't have to worry about getting things, I'll bring stuff back to the cabin for you.

[needsahandjob]

Because.
