Jeez, if it can get you sick, I'd almost believe it--lucky for me I've been hanging out with sick people all week 'n haven't caught it yet. Just don't sneeze on me...
[Coming up to get a better look at him]
Ya look like a mess... Have ya even been getting any fluids? You're gonna dehydrate through your nose.
[He sounds more teasing than concerned, even though the advice is genuine.]
[ He makes a (small) effort to sit up and lean back against the headboard of the bed, sniffling as he does so. ]
I wasn't really that bad until today. So I haven' gotten much - [ Ah. He's gonna turn his face away because he can feel an oncoming sneeze and with his track record for today - ] Ah-choo!!
[ There goes the bulb in the corner of the room, shattering with a faint blue light. ]
[ Which is why he wasn't too afraid (or careful) of getting close to his extremely sick roommate - leading to the situation he's in now. Sure, he's witnessed others get sick, but this has just never been an experience he's personally lived through. Which makes it 100x worse. ]
I don't wanna eat anything... sounds gross just thinking about it.
Seriously, never?? Well trust me, ya won't get any better if ya don't eat, or at least drink something. I'll go grab something from Roman, it'll take like five minutes.
[He mostly offers because it won't be that much work for him, but also he does have some sympathy for Rin. He's not sure who else is around that would bother to take care of him, especially if he's sneezing fire.]
Yeah, welcome ta how normal people feel when they get sick. Try ta enjoy it or something, maybe? Do normal people stuff and curl up under a mountain of blankets with tea, it'll be great.
Be right back!
[Just gonna hop up to the moon station and harass a Natha for cold remedies.]
[ Was this really what it felt like to be sick like a normal person...somehow this is the one time he's felt grateful for being non-human.
He just sighs as the other leaves, waiting for him to be gone to get more of Juvia's huge hoard of tissues, as well as sweep up the glass from earlier. But he flops back down on the bed as soon as he's done, face down, and awaits Shima's return. ]
[Shima returns not too long after, beaming back into the room bearing a large capped bowl of okayu rice porridge and a teapot steeped with yuzu tea. Too bad Roman only does miracles like this once a day or something, they'll have to get actual ingredients on the actual planet if they want more than a quick fix.
Tries to set the bowl and teapot on the night stand but.. there's stuff in the way.]
Okay, that's not anything weird!! [ Super convincing... he goes to move it himself out of courtesy since Shima's carrying things, but he's careful to only pick it up by the base. ] It just showed up here one day outta nowhere!!
I don't frickin' know!! And I don't have new interests!!!!
[ He yells a little louder than he should've, which immediately causes him to go into a coughing fit. This is all your fault, Shima, and whoever put this weird ass... ass in his house, which he manages to move to the floor next to the bed once his coughing subsides. ]
It's supposed to be like, for clothes or something! I didn't read the note all the way yet.
[Jeez don't die, Rin. Sets the food down properly so Rin can actually eat comfortably from his bed--though Shima's too busy with investigating Rin's new acquisition to shoo him back under the blankets.]
What, like a mannequin? All it's good for is modeling underwear [mukuku]--lemme see the note.
[ He'll move to retrieve the note from the bedside drawer, shoving it in Shima's direction when he does. This is not a laughing matter!! ]
Go ahead and laugh it up, [ Sniffle. ] but I'm not the one who put it there.
[ The note itself just explains how to use it and what it's for, and rather than watch whatever the other's probably embarrassing reaction is going to be, he focuses on inspecting what Shima brought for him. ]
[Both the tea and the porridge are still nice and hot. The heavy bowl and tea pot and currently empty cup will probably have to be returned to the space station after they're done borrowing it.
Shima will be over here reading the note, eyes getting wide as it goes on. By the end he's looking back up at Rin, burning with curiosity.]
[Shima disappears below the side of the bed, totally gonna grope that shiny brass butt if no one stops him. And he'll resurface wearing a gaudy but nicely fitted suit, the sort of thing a host at a hostclub might wear.]
[ He almost spills the tea with the way he jerks and his eyes bug out because.. what???? His voice is getting hoarser and hoarser but he's still yelling: ]

[ Feeling sneezy was bad enough, but the progression of the illness that makes him wanna dodge consuming anything is just a little cruel. ]
It's like, that feeling right after ya wake up and ya don't wanna eat anything. Except all day. You ever feel like that when ya get sick?

It's in the letter--one aesthetic or 'sartorial' wish a day. Guess that means fashion, haha. Must be somebody's reward!
