[Pearl Fey’s emotions don’t always show easily, but when they do, they’re usually related to ships Maya Fey. And while there are exceptions, today’s not one of them. The sullen, sad look that crosses her face today is definitely caused by circumstances involving her favorite cousin - as well as their roommate, Mr. Armando.

Anyway, she’s sitting on a bench in what looks like a hospital corridor. That’s already bad news, isn’t it? She frowns very deeply (pretzels drooping) and shakes her head sadly at the camera.]

Mystic Maya and Mr. Armando became very sick yesterday. We got them to the doctors safely, but...

[After a moment’s pause, she shakes her head fiercely from side to side!] I’m going to do my best to help the doctors make sure they’re comfortable! I’m still very -- [sneeze!] -- I’m still mostly healthy, and I’m going to stay by their side until they get better.

… Um, does anybody know about Mr. Armando’s pet kitty? and Mystic Maya’s bird! Vladimir and Artemis need to be fed, but I can’t go between the apartment and the hospital by myself. The plants need to be watered, too! [Someone please help a fretting girl out.]

[And then, drooping again, before she shuts off the video.] Poor Mystic Maya... poor Mr. Armando. I should have been more alert...

[Later, post-video, in Maya and Godot's room.]
[After making that announcement so those who know Mr. Armando and Maya will be in the know, Pearl’s going to be in their room watching over them worriedly. She tugs on blankets and sniffles, then perches herself on a chair and watches them with a frown

Please get better soon 8CCCC]

[Static for a minute because subway interference.]

Almost there!

[action!] :D Huzzah!

[ergomaniac]

[He's a few minutes late, because he dithered a bit too long over what sort of soup she'd like; he'd worried for a moment that she was vegetarian because of her faith, but then he'd remembered Maya...but then ultimately he'd decided to play it safe. So he has a bag containing a paper cup of tomato soup and a few saltines in one hand and a briefcase full of work in the other.

He has no free hand to wave when he arrives, so he nods at her.]

Hello, Pearl. First, here you are -

[laurice]

It's nothing! Besides, first I have to actually make the soup. I wonder if I've got noodles...

[preciouspearl]

H-huh? It's hard to hear you suddenly.

[preciouspearl]

You have to promise, Mr. Larry... [Drooping pretzels.]

[laurice]

O-okay, I promise! [NO PRETZELS DO NOT DROOP.] I really do! 'Cause if I don't, I won't be able to help any of you guys!

[preciouspearl]

You really must! [Determined pretzels now!!]

[action!]

[preciouspearl]

[She smiles and takes quick steps over to him, holding out her hands so she can free his of the load.] Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth. I hope you didn't run into any trouble on the way!

Right... Keep me updated, okay? Anything new from the doctors...?

[inthejunk]

[Clomp, clomp, clomp. Headed up the subway stairs now, with the other like 50 passengers.]

I said I'm almost there!

[laurice]

You got it! Listen, I gotta go now and get cooking, but I'll see you later.

[WE CAN ACTION A BIT HERE BEFORE I CRASH THE OTHER ACTION THREAD?]

[ergomaniac]

[He makes certain she has a good grip on the soup before he releases the bag, then shifts his briefcase over to his right hand.]

Not at all. Indeed, the roads were quite clear.

[Which is a troubling sign, now that he stops to think on it. Is this disease to blame for that? He's no epidemiologist, but he would assume that a comparatively low-impact disease would cause an increase in road traffic as people avoided public transit, and only once huge numbers were being forced to stay home...Well, no matter. He tries to push the worried frown off his face.]

Here - sit, please.

voice.

[retraced]

I see. In that case, it's best that you don't explain it to me.

[beenwaitinglong]

Heh.

[He keeps his grip on her hand even as she moves, taking a deep breath.]

Well... good to know I'm not just one of the lucky ones, for once.

[preciouspearl]

T-they said it was a flu. But I've never seen flu get that bad before.

[preciouspearl]

...Okay! I'll be waiting... do you need the room number?

voice.

[preciouspearl]

Okay. I will ask Mystic Maya when she's better. She'll be able to tell me if it's okay to talk about it or not.

[preciouspearl]

[...which action thread. Edgeworth? AS LONG AS ALL PARTIES ARE COOL I'M COOL AND WE CAN ACTION HERE SURE? 8D]

I-I will see you soon, Mr. Larry!

[preciouspearl]

Yes, sir. [She carries the soup very carefully, setting that down first before she perches herself in a seat, just as she is told. She's glad to be seeing the familiar, reliable prosecutor in the middle of all this worrying and fretting and probably getting sick herself.]

It's very kind of you for coming all the way here.

[ IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE RELATED

Okay. So Maya and the waistcoat lawyer guy are in hospital. He keeps a conversational tone that doesn't betray any worry at all. ] You don't sound too swell yourself, Pearl.

[laurice]

[LARRY VISITING SICK PEOPLE? Either way could work, actually. But yeah, I'mma ask when I do figure out where Larry's popping in.]

I'll be sure to save you a portion of the soon-to-be-famous Larry Butz Chicken Soup for the Soul!

[motioned]

Huh? Oh, you can just call me Ahiru, and I'm not sick at all! Don't worry. What about you?

voice.

[retraced]

Mm, all right. But don't worry about it for now, just let her rest.

[awakenings]

[She huffs out a brief sigh.]

I'd rather you be lucky and at home, not sick. But Daedalus says they're investigating the cause, so I'm sure they'll figure out something in the next day or so.

[beenwaitinglong]

Yeah. Me too.

[He pauses for a cough, tightening his hold on her hand as he does. When he's finished, he lays back with a groan.]

Any coffee in the area that you can see?
