[Dorian looks pale and wan]

I'm sorry. I'd just like to get word to my students and people I've been tutoring.


I'll be unavailable for a while. I appear to have gotten a touch of influenza and I don't want to give it to anyone else.

I'll contact you again when I am well.

I apologize for any trouble it caused.

[OOC: AS IF Dorian reads the network or the news feeds. He has no idea what's going on.]

[Since he's too sick to speak, and his hand isn't nearly as elegant as normal. There's a wobble to it.]

I regretfully must tender an excuse for our tea this weekend. My apologies.

Re: [text]

[mostbeautiful]

I understand. I wouldn't be fit to receive anyway.

Are the children ill?

[Half convinced that's why they're both sick.]

Re: [text]

[soul_scatter]

No. There is an epidemic around the city. That is all I know.

Re: [text]

[mostbeautiful]

[Oblivious]

What? There is?

Re: [text]

[soul_scatter]

Yes.

[Because writing is exhausting, ya know.]

Re: [text]

[mostbeautiful]

[Indeed it is.]

Are we in danger? Has anyone died?

Re: [text]

[soul_scatter]

I don't know. I believe my housemates are ill. I have not spoken to anyone.

[mostbeautiful]

This isn't helping, you know.

[text]

[soul_scatter]

There is little I can do to help.

[Too sick. Dying soon.]

Re: [text]

[mostbeautiful]

Yes yes, you don't need to put too fine a point on it.

[Too self-absorbed. Whining soon.]

You really look awful, Dorian. I don't think anyone is going to fault you for being ill - you should take as much time as you need.

It ... seems that a lot of people are getting sick right now. It's pretty bad.

[mostbeautiful]

I look awful. Thank you very much for noticing. [His head hurts and he's feeling sukly.]

I'll let you know when I'm feeling better.

I did hear that. They're calling it an epidemic. Do you think I should see a physician?

[ella_of_frell]

[ Bemused at the sulky response, she mentally shakes her head, worrying. ]

Thank you, I'll be glad to hear it. And I would definitely advise seeing a physician.

[ Even though the hospitals were probably crammed full of sick people... ]

[mostbeautiful]

I'll try and find one.

There seems to be some kind of sickness going around, Mr. Gray. I suggest staying home until you feel better, for now. Don't worry about the tutoring for the girls. I would prefer them not to be exposed to any more then they already are.

I hope you feel better, soon. Take care of yourself.

Re: [voice]

[mostbeautiful]

Yes, so I've been told. I plan on doing just that. Thank you. But, I do apologize if it causes you or the girls any hardship.

Thank you. I'm... sure I'll be better.

[voice]

[rapturescreed]

No, they'll be fine. I'll have them ready to learn when you can come in, next.

Re: [voice]

[mostbeautiful]

Thank you. That will be a welcome change.

[gavesugar]

Keep thee warm and close to the facilities, Dorian.

[Voice]

[mostbeautiful]

Thank you.

Are you ill?

Re: [Voice]

[gavesugar]

Only mildly so. Ye seem far worse off than I.

Re: [Voice]

[mostbeautiful]

I think I'm worse off than a lot of people.

I hate this place.

Re: [Voice]

[gavesugar]

'Tis slightly better than dying of the black death, Dorian.

Re: [Voice]

[mostbeautiful]

[Smirk]

Slightly.

Re: [Voice]

[gavesugar]

[Flirtatious tone alert!]

Aye, quite a sight less.

[Voice]

[mostbeautiful]

Perhaps. You're only mildly ill, you say?

Re: [Voice]

[gavesugar]

Aye, only slightly so.

[She's really only sorry for one thing.]

[Voice]

[mostbeautiful]

I'm glad to hear that.

La - keep thee safe, Dorian.
