[notcalledlizzie]

So much for starting to feel better, Elizabeth thought to herself when she woke up feeling muzzy headed; her chest and throat sore from coughing.

She's determined not to be ill over Thanksgiving, and moves to stand up.

Back down onto the bed again, and she sighs, grabbing a blanket and wrapping it around her shoulders.

Maybe she should try the whole "getting up" thing again tomorrow.

Cameron knocks on the door. "Yo! I come bearing gifts."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Cam," Elizabeth calls, her voice scratchy. She reaches for a glass of water on the bedside table and takes a sip. "Come on in."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron opens the door and enters, carrying a paper bag and a cup. "Heard you were ill."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She smiles across at him. "Caught Janet's cold," she explains. "I thought I was getting over it, but clearly not."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Awwwww," Cameron approaches the bed and hands her the cup he's holding. "Hot cocoa."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth takes the cup, and wraps her hands around it. "Thank you," she smiles. "You're a star."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Northern star?" Cameron grins and sits down on the edge of her bed.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She waves her hand. "Northern star, dog star, shooting star... whichever star you like," she says, grinning.

"The brightest, of course. The one you set your compass to." He opens the bag and gets out some chocolate cake.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She giggles, before coughing slightly. "Something like that," she agrees. "Cake!"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Told yah I came bearing gifts."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"You did, and these are good gifts," Elizabeth replies, grinning and sipping her cocoa.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Good, I would have brought chicken soup but I wouldn't know how to make it if my life depended on it." Cameron grins. "You need to stop getting ill."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"That's fine; I'm quite happy with chocolate cake."

She rolls her eyes. "Because of course, I choose to be ill?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Maybe you're doing something wrong?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Like what?" she asks, before sneezing again. "Because I really would like to avoid all infectious diseases as far as possible."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, I wish I knew." Cameron patted her leg through the blankets. "Am I going to have to read to you now?"

Charlie coughed as he came in, making sure to cover his mouth. His eyes looked red and itchy.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth looked up at him, horrified. "Charlie, I'm so sorry," she said.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"It's okay," he croaked and gave her a grin. "I'm used to livin' in close quarters and catching whatever's going around."


[OOC: OOC explanation coming up on my LJ momentarily! :)]

"This is all Janet's fault," Elizabeth said, nodding. "I caught it off her."

[ooc: Heh. I'll probably have upgraded Liz to an upper respitory infection by tomorrow so she'll be out until Monday *g*]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Charlie flopped on his bed and felt like he never wanted to get up again. "I can live with blaming Janet." He looked over at her. "You okay?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She sighed. "I'll live," she said, pulling the blanket closer around her. "Temperature's gone up again, I'm coughing and sneezing, I'm tired and there's various aches and pains... the usual cold stuff."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Ungh," Charlie grunted. "I'm just gonna go to sleep now."

[OOC: Because I have to run. Sorry!]

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded. "Me too, I expect. If you need drugs, I've got 'em. If not... feel better."
