"Just not Romeo & Juliet. Too sad." She requested, curling up on her side and adjusting her head against the pillow.

"Gotcha," laughed Specs softly. "Anything but that."
He reached over to pull up the covers for her. "Comfy?"

Tag nodded, though the movement of her head was so subtle you wouldn't know it unless you were looking closely.
She fell asleep very soon after that, her body going lax.

Once he was sure that Tag was asleep, Specs stood up and made his way over to the kitchen. Remembering that Tag made tea for him before, he reached for the kettle and began filling it with water. After turning on the stove, he rummaged through the cupboards to see if he can find some medicine.

Only about half an hour later, Tag woke up to another coughing fit. Her lungs hurt even more, however, and she winced at the pain.

Once the tea was ready, Specs hurried back to the infirmary with medicine in hand. He placed it on the nearby table next to the cot, making sure to stay quiet so that Tag wouldn't wake up. Gently placing his hand on her forehead, he found that she was somewhat warm. Frowning, he adjusted the blankets to cover her once again.
"It's alright, it's alright," he muttered once Tag began coughing. He was off his seat in a second and rubbing her back. "I've got some tea for you..."

Tag groaned once the cough seemed to have subsided. She was getting very annoyed with this cough. Dust was apparently very stubborn.
"Oh, thank you." She said as she took the hot mug and sipped from it. The tea felt incredibly nice, and it was then she realized she was shivering. "Why is it so cold in here?"

((WAH MY POST EARLIER DIDN'T GO THROUGH.))
Specs immediately grabbed another blanket from the shelf, putting it around her shoulders before rubbing her arms. After a couple of minutes, he reached over for the aspirin and handed it to her. "Here, take this... how was your nap?"

Tag took the medicine, though she was shivering so badly it was hard to keep the water glass still. She managed, however, and laid back down almost immediately.
"It was q-quick. At least I think it was." She huddled underneath the blankets in attempt to get warm.

Specs grabbed another blanket before putting it around Tag once again. He carefully brushed her hair back, wishing he could make her sickness go away.
"Hungry? Want anything else? More water? Tea?" said Specs with worry. He'd never had to take care of person and now that Tag needed his help, he was too frantic to know what to do.

She shook her head and started coughing again.

Specs looked at her helplessly. He wished he knew what to do. As she coughed, he reached over to rub her back, patiently waiting for her to calm down.
"Anythin' else I can do for you?" he asked sweetly, wiping her face with a towel.

She desperately wish he could crawl onto the cot with her and hold her, but if she had a cold, she didn't want him to catch it. The poor boy had had one just the other week.
"Just... Stay here until I fall asleep?"

"Of course," nodded Specs, smiling down at her. "Do you want me to read to you? I'm warning you though, I've only got books about pirate adventures."

"Yes, please." She drew the covers up to her chin, wanting to burrow underneath them and just sleep for days.
