[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]

[Everyone's getting sick and that's terrible. Pearl droops a little bit more.]

Very badly... She's hardly ever been this sick before!

Video

[icy_heavens]

[What's worse is that as a shinigami, he really shouldn't be getting sick. It doesn't happen often, and they tend to be immune to contracting human biological agents.]

[Just damn it. Damn it all. And he's probably stuck here in the house because Hinamori will certainly see fit to "ground" him for his own health.] Too many people getting sick lately.

Video

[preciouspearl]

Maybe it's a virus of some sort. Are you sick too?

Video

[icy_heavens]

Not a normal one.

[He debates lying outright about this, but then decides that he won't really be able to pull it off. So minimizing is go.] ... A little. It's not that bad.

[Yet.]

Video

[preciouspearl]

Not normal? What do you mean?

Aah, please make sure to get some rest so you don't get worse!

[Fretting. Fret fret fret.]

Video

[icy_heavens]

I shouldn't be able to catch human diseases. [This is all weird and stupid, okay?]

[Agh. No fretting. Quit that!] I'm lying down. [Because Hinamori made him. Because he nearly fell down the stairs. And his temperature is 99 degrees. For him? That's a fever.]

Video

[preciouspearl]

... But aren't you human? [Back up, Hitsugaya. This shinigami business is not something she knows yet.]

Video

[icy_heavens]

No. [So informative, isn't he?]

Video

[preciouspearl]

... Are you a spirit?

Oh! Maybe you're a kitten's spirit that took on the appearance of a person? [Clearly Kurain has wonderful stories for children. Or it might just be something she picked up in LA. Who knows. Have a theory, Toushirou.]

Video 1/2

[icy_heavens]

In a sense. I -- [Woah, woah. Wait a second.]

Video

[icy_heavens]

[A kitten spirit? Seriously? Seriously? No, no, no. That'd just be embarrassing. Good thing it isn't true.]

I'm shinigami. I protect souls. Used to be human, but I'm not now.

Video

[preciouspearl]

A she-knee-ga-- huh?

W-what is that? It's a little hard to pronounce.

Video

[icy_heavens]

[He doesn't know why so many people have trouble saying this. It's not hard. Have a sigh. He'd try to be a little more careful with showing any sign of irritation, since Pearl is so skittish, but he's sick and a bit cranky.]

Literally, it means death god. [Probably not the best concept to mention when the girl's family is terribly ill, but what is tact?]

Video

[preciouspearl]

-- Death god??? [Oh my god no please go away.

... Well not go away because you're Mystic Maya's friend, but you can't come and do your death god thing around her right now, okay? Ever!!

She is reacting marvelously.]

Video

[icy_heavens]

Oi. Calm down.

I'm not going to hurt her or take her away. I told you; I protect souls.

Video

[preciouspearl]

Y-you... [Calm down, Pearl. Calm down.]

You.. protect souls? That's different from the stories I've heard...

Video

[icy_heavens]

Then the stories are wrong.

Video

[preciouspearl]

Uuu... I'm very sorry for shouting.

Video

[icy_heavens]

[Goddamn it. He does not need to see a sad girl.

... Go away, nausea. Deep breath. There we go.] Don't worry about it.

Video

[preciouspearl]

I-I promise not to shout anymore when you're sick... or even when you're not sick.

Um, I'll make sure to keep you updated about how Mystic Maya is doing!

Video

[icy_heavens]

[Stop sounding so upset. You're making him feel bad. Physically, this time.]

... Thank you.

[Though in a few more days, he won't be too coherent half the time.]

Video

[preciouspearl]

Please take care of yourself, too, um-- [... Just now realizing she never asked him his name. Wow. She feels so terrible but he isn't well enough for her to bother him with shit. She's gonna have to ask Maya when Maya's better...]

Video

[icy_heavens]

[Geez, Pearl. Asking for his name isn't something that's going to cause him terrible, awful strain.] Hitsugaya.

[No, he doesn't want you to ask Maya, seeing as she's rather fond of calling him "Tsu" now, despite his protests.]

Video

[preciouspearl]

[But "Tsu" will be so much easier to say.]

Mr. Hitsu... ga-yuh!

Video

[icy_heavens]

[But it's not his name!]

Make sure you take precautions, too.

[He won't quibble on the pronounciation of his name. She's just about got it.]
