[ She had felt fine up until this morning. She'd heard things about people being afflicted with a sudden cold feeling, but she hadn't had anything happen to her until it had all compounded and hit her today. So, now, she was huddled underneath a blanket, with a sweater on.

She was still freezing.

Hilda was glad that none of her Pokemon were out of their Pokeballs at the current moment, because she knew all six of them would be worried for her. She didn't want that.

She was worrying, though. She hadn't seen or heard from N all day, and she knew he probably didn't know if she was okay, either. So, she forced herself up and out of her bed, hair down and a complete mess, blanket still wrapped around her small, shivering frame and dragging on the floor around and behind her ... she walked to his room, pushing open his door a little to check in on him. Maybe he was hit with the same thing? ]

N ...?

L-Let me get you some water so you c-can take your medication ...

[ She's far too worried about him to even think about her own well-being right now. She takes one of the pills from the box, but she has trouble removing it from the package due to her freezing, shaking hands. ]

Hilda...

[Okay, no. He can't just lay there and watch her fumble with trembling hands. If it were anyone else maybe, but it's Hilda...

Pushing himself up further, he lets out a groan and slowly manages to get out of bed, everything aching and cold. Sheer stubbornness keeps him moving in spite of that, though, and soon enough he's standing in front of her, wrapping his hands around hers.]

[ His hands on hers surprises her. She looks up at him, wide-eyed. The trembling in her hands slowly begin to stop as his touch warms her up. ]

N ... get back into bed.

[ The demand is pretty weak, though. ]

Come with me?

[N... maybe you shouldn't... ask it like that... ?]

[ She looks down at the medication in her hands. Lucky for you, N, the girl's oblivious. ]

... But you need the medicine.

Bring it with you. It's not like I can't sit there and take it. Please? ... if you get ill, I wouldn't know how to take care of you at all.

[ Well, he did say 'please' ... and it will get him back in bed, where he needs to be. she nods slowly. ]

Okay.

Thank you.

[Relieved, he tugs her back to the bed and sits down, pulling the medicine from her hands so he can open the package.]

[ She sits next to him as he tugs her to the bed, watching him as he handles the package and making sure he's able to open it. She's warmed up slightly from his touch. ]

Do you need any help with that?

No, I think I've got it now...

[faintly, he smiles at her, glancing up through a mess of green hair]

I'm a little warmer again. Logically speaking, it seems that the answer to at least part of our problem is physical contact.

[ When he smiled at her, she couldn't help but smile right back. When he did smile, it really was infectious ... ]

Do you need any water or anything to take it with? I can get some for you really quick ...

[ Her worry for his condition was overriding caring for her own well-being again. She realized this and quickly added to that statement. ]

A-Ah, I promise, I'll come right back to bed after I get it, if you need it.

Oh...

[Traveling alone, he didn't often have the supplies it took to really survive out there, and he favored his Pokemon over his own health, so he had gotten used to taking medication dry. He was about to do it that way when she spoke.]

Yes, that would be nice. Thank you.

I'll be right back, then.

[ She moved off of the bed and made her way to the kitchen. She returned a few moments later with a glass of water. She handed it to him carefully. ]

There. Be careful not to drop it, okay?

[Nodding, N took the water and the pills, swallowing them down with a big gulp. He handed the water back, smiling at Hilda tiredly. He was feeling better, but the illness and being cold had already worn him out for the day.]

[ She smiles back at him, placing the water on his bedside table in case he needed it later. She then moves to the other side of the bed, climbing back into the other side and curling up in his blankets. This was actually pretty comfortable ... ]

[N joins her, pulling the blankets back over both of them.

For a moment, he just lays there, but something compels him to put his arms around her.]

Is this alright?

[ It was a surprise, feeling his arms around her this time. She figured he may have just been cold again, though. Still, Hilda couldn't help the blush on her cheeks as she instinctively moved closer, practically nodding her head against his chest. ]

Mhm.

Okay...

[He doesn't want her to be uncomfortable, but she doesn't seem to be.]

We might be stuck like this for a while... for the curse, I mean.

[ Hilda nods against him again, then sighs and smiles. She's trying to make herself more comfortable in the situation, and it's surprisingly easy to do. Maybe it was that she trusted N. Maybe that was why she felt so comfortable in his arms. Whatever it was, though, it was nice. ]

Then I guess we'll have to deal with that.

[ She doesn't seem to mind that at all. ]

[She really was the only one he would even consider doing this with. Had she not been there, he would have suffered through the cold, rather than have physical contact with some one.]

You don't mind?

[ She's glad that she's here, then. Because she wouldn't want him to deal with the cold by himself. Hilda looked up at him and smiled gently. ]

Why would I mind?

Oh... I don't know. I thought it might be odd for you, is all.

Not really ... I mean, I guess I thought it would be, too. I'm really comfortable like this, though ...

[ This conversation should be awkward. Why is it not awkward? Hilda didn't know, but she was glad it wasn't. ]

I am, too.

[It should have been, and his talk with Wally some weeks back made him think that it was even odder that it wasn't. But of course he couldn't wrap his brain around why.

The fact that he was ill and about to doze off didn't help that.]

[ She noticed how tired he seemed, and she reached a hand up to check his temperature again. When she spoke again, her voice was a whisper. ]

Get some rest. You need that right now.
