Eternal City Kids - when you get sick
How the children would behave if you were sick during your time in the garden
Claims you're highly contagious and need to be quarantined
Tells you to shut up every time you sneeze
Winces and looks away every time you can't control your coughing
She lets the Caretakers know you're ill
She does some of your work so you have more time to rest
She snaps at anyone who tries to wake you up
And she pats your back after a cough when she thinks no one's watching
When you recover, she doesn't believe you
You spend another three days doing minimal work and resting before she stops watching you
Gives you most of his food
Stays by your side when he's not busy
Keeps feeling your forehead and cheeks
Asks how you're feeling every five minutes
Almost cries when Violet tells him you've got the plague
Get's you whatever you need, whenever you need it
Sleeps closer to you at night, just in case you need something
Tells you about different kinds of medicine, all of which you don't have access to
Waves off your worries of getting him sick too
"Don't worry, I've got a strong immune system."
Manages to get a nicely sized blanket for you
You don't know how he got it
Reminds you to rest often
Asks the others to look after you when he can't
Gives you whatever he thinks would help
Scolds you for not covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough
Gathers a bunch of leaves for you to blow your nose with
It's not very effective, but he's trying
Does most of your work for you. Sometimes, but rarely, all of your work
Seriously, where did he get that blanket from?
Knows you're sick before you do
Shifts uncomfortably around you, looking at you often
Makes a low, whine when you cough up mucus
Screams every time you sneeze
When your voice is hoarse from your sore throat, he looks at you sympathetically
He gives you water when he can
Feels for your heartbeat if you've been sleeping for a while
Follows you around if you work
Touches your face and recoils from the feeling of your hot skin
Mostly ignores you on the last day you're sick, only looking your way and heaving twice before continuing on his day
