I do not believe catching a death of cold sounds to be much fun--or that it can even be caught. But that’s what the lady at the park told me as I squished past her in my sopping shoes, and I have a feeling it is going to be inevitable, anyway, as my head already feels awfully strange.

Y-You can't?! Oh--oh. Oh, that is good news--I cannot tell you how reli--thank you, Madame!

You aren't? Oh--I--yes, Madame, perhaps...maybe...in the future? I-I mean, when you are both--are--uh--on better terms--

[ofwingedvictory]

That's a relief! Oh, no!-- I-I couldn't possibly--she's awful busy--I can go rummage for some, myself, I am quite sure! But where would you ru--

Oh--yes, ma'am! A-And I'm sure everything will turn out just fine, just like er, times before, ifthatwasalrighttosay.

Lady Athena! Er! Well, y-you seemed awful busy, and I didn't want to disrupt, in any way--but I do feel better, now, however mentally, as Madame's just told me one can't die from a cold.

[ofwingedvictory]

W-Well, yes, I--am sorry for having insinuated anything, My Lady! I apologize! I did not mean to, just--that er, well, this seems to be rather a petty problem, compared to...others...

Y-Yes! Oh, er, this does come as a relief, as I didn't know exactly where to get it--thank you!

Nike? Are you sure you're alright - Rhea - Poor Baby.. Do you want me to come up? I can definitely skip work, and take care of you honey.

Ares is coming after me, sooner would be better[deleted]
I'm not speaking to your mother until she speaks first[deleted]
What a lovely idea, but maybe we should do that seperately...[gone]

As your Mom might have told you, I'm downstairs with your grandfather should you need anything. I most certainly could head up if you want me. It's what I'm here for[gone]

Dame! Yes-yes, I'm alright, thank you so very much! Oh, no, please, I wouldn't want to inconvenience you in any way! Besides, Lady Athena's graciously directed me towards the medicine cabinet.

Oh, I'm sure Grandfather's delighted to see you again--but--yes! Thank you! Er, I wouldn't--want to transfer anything onto you, Dame! Are colds contagious?

There's more to getting better than just medicine, Nike. You need to be in bed - tell Athena, she should notice, that you need time off. Sleep. Take steam baths. And inconvenience? I'm not only skipping work because of you It wouldn't, that's my job as a mother.

Oh he is. When you're better we'll have to plan a visit. Depends on the cold - but that's not an issue.

You're rooming with Athena, right?

[ofwingedvictory]

Y-Yes, ma'am! Steam baths?--I shall do my best to er, look up how to do so! Oh, well, thank you, Dame! I--it's incredibly nice of you...if you wouldn't mind--I haven't seen you in a long while!

We should! I haven't had a chance to talk to him properly, and I know that's been awful of me, so I'd like a chance to make it up!

Yes, Dame! I am.

Stay in bed and let your mother take care of you. I can always drop by something.

[ofwingedvictory]

Grandfather! Er, yes, thank you very much for talking here, but I wouldn't want anyone to catch my cold--I have yet to figure out if that is even possible, and getting Dame sick is something I wouldn't want to risk!
