"Oh...Hello," Sam hummed, a weak smile pulling across his face, eyelids drooping. His hair was a mess of bedhead atop his head, skin pale, and nose pinkish. He was wrapped snugly in several layers of sweatshirts, his hands covered by the sleeves and carrying a large hot cup of tea between them. He hadn't remembered inviting Bella over...or making planes, but, then again, he had no idea what day it was. For the past couple of days, xe had been trying very hard to ignore the cold slowly catching hold of xyr system. 'Tis the season.
After staying out late the other night gift shopping in the icy weather, it seemed his body had finally succumbed to whatever virus had caught hold of his respiratory system. Squinted eyes glanced past Bella at the beautiful snowflakes drifting from the sky, then landed back on her. Well, at the very least, it had to be sometime in the afternoon. The sun was high in the sky, though muffled in brightness by thick snow clouds. Xe leaned against the doorframe, sipping at xyr tea.
"Sorry, I was, um..." A clearing of his throat. "Napping," xe admitted sheepishly, knowing full well it had taken xem much longer than usual to get the door. He sniffled slightly in a failed attempt at making his voice sound less nasally. "I, uh... what- what's up? What're you-- I mean, er...Do you...wanna come in from the cold?" A gesture inside, opening the door a bit further.
