[There's the sounds of Jenny coughing and gagging, before she lands on the floor with a bang. This is followed by even more horrible coughing, and some hard breathing.]

...Dammit. I've lost too much strength...

Jenny?! *He's coming ASAP*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Damn...I didn't know this was on.

I'm...okay.

[Of course, she's not very convincing this time. She's managed to pull herself up to the wall, and is leaning her back against it, and her clothes are now damp, making the fever very obvious. Blood is all over her hands, and some is on her shirt now.]

*He comes into the room as fast as his legs can carry him* No you aren't. Damn...we gotta get you to the clinic.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I don't need the clinic. I'll heal.

[She goes into another series of coughing fits, causing even more blood to end up in her hands.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Someone said this virus can be deadly. I don't wanna take that chance.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

...Deadly or not, I'll still heal.

[She's not exactly referring to healing the old fashioned way.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He knows that.* If it was a normal virus, I wouldn't be worried. But with it being something the Malnosso cooked up, I'm not so sure.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

...Then I'll take my chances. The clinic probably has enough people to take care of on their hands already, and those people have got much worse chances then I do.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

At least let me find someone with some medical skills.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[After yet another round of coughing, and gagging, she gives in.]

...Alright.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He relaxes slightly, but not much.* I wonder...ether drive!

*He tries casting Refresh, which obviously doesn't work.*

[Jenny gives him a weak smile.]

...Thanks for trying.

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

Jenny? What's wrong?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

...Nothing. I'm alright.

[Unfortunately, these lies to keep people from worrying about her aren't going to work so well anymore since she sounds horrible right now.]

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

You don't sound it.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

...I'm just tired. That's all.

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

That's not it. What's the matter?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She sighs, and then goes through another series of horrible coughs.]

...It seems I've caught that virus going around.

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

... Do you think you'll be able to deal with it until it passes?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I think so. Worse case scenario, I have to regenerate.

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

Just don't push yourself too much. I'll handle whatever you might need to do around the house. You, in the meanwhile, should take this time to rest.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

...Resting isn't one of my strong suits. I don't like sitting still for long.

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

Is there anything you like to do in a stationary position? Reading, maybe?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Not really...

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

... Does it have to do with moving around too much?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[freedomwing.livejournal.com]

You know you can't do that in your current condition. What do you have in mind?
