Re: midday October 17th

I don't doubt you, but I'd worry. It's my responsibility to take care of you, after all.

[Sebastian might struggle with caring, but he's extremely well acquainted with responsibility.]

So thank you.

Re: midday October 17th

[untiltheend]

Yes, well... The worst possible outcome is death, and that is reversible.

[What do you mean "dying is potentially traumatic even if it doesn't last".

But that's all the protesting Sebastian does. Responsibility does indeed make sense to him.]

Would you excuse me? The kitchen is in need of extra workers. Johann is apparently in no fit state to work, for one... [Sebastian why are you working if you're not feeling well-- You know what: no one who knows Sebastian should need to ask this question.]

Re: midday October 17th

[reformedsinner]

You're not sick, are you?

I'm sorry to say it, but if you are you shouldn't be around food, even if it's magical. We don't know how this is afflicting people just yet.

[Weakness is one thing, but if he's got an illness like Hakkai's....]

Re: midday October 17th

[untiltheend]

Oh, come. As if the Admiral cannot strike or not strike anyone with this as it pleases him.

--I am not... well, but I would not describe it as a sickness. My strength is simply affected. And what would be the alternative, sir - to have no one work in the kitchen?

[You can't tell him what to do, you're not his real dad.]

Re: midday October 17th

[reformedsinner]

Well, if you were coughing up blood, you shouldn't be around food regardless.

But weakness I think is safe.

[A brief pause.] Also... the signs seemed much more like a normal flood. I'd be very surprised if this was the Admiral's doing.

[He's personally betting on a new arrival with badly managed powers.]

Re: midday October 17th

[untiltheend]

[If the Admiral isn't actively causing this nonsense, he sure as hell is enjoying it, is Sebastian's firm conviction.]

Oh? Is that what you are doing, then? [Coughing up blood? It's said completely conversationally.]

Re: midday October 17th

[reformedsinner]

Only a little. It's quite unsightly. [In a tone more of annoyance than concern. Being deathly ill isn't exactly new for him, but he doesn't enjoy also being messy about it.]

Re: midday October 17th

[untiltheend]

I see. Mm, in that case, please do keep out of the kitchens. Me, Mr Archer, miss Garcia and the other volunteers will be able to handle the food for now, I am sure.

Re: midday October 17th

[reformedsinner]

Of course. I can still handle the greenhouse, so there's no need for you to worry about helping there too.

[a brief pause, then, cheerfully]

Blood makes good fertilizer.

Re: midday October 17th

[untiltheend]

It is of course always gratifying when one is able to turn a pitiable state into something usual. [Heh.]

But please do let me know if you need me to divert my focus to the Greenhouse also. [He says, will be completely useless and passed out in a few hours.]

Re: midday October 17th

[reformedsinner]

Isn't it?

Thank you, Sebastian. I will. Please take care.

Re: midday October 17th

[untiltheend]

Of course. Likewise, sir.
