SAPPHIRE

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

No.

...But, I know you can handle it. A fever isn't something too difficult as long as you can get better eventually.

I'll take a nap after the game if it's not better.

And you'll take medicine.

After the game.

We'll see, yeah?

[TAKING COLD MEDICINE har har]

[If you look like you're dying I'm shoving medicine down your throat young man]

[Selenia is a gentleman and giving me his coat :U]

[pulling out two jelly-looking pills and a small jug of water '-']

This will at least help with the coughing a little. For your throat.

Take it easy for now.

[small careful nod] Aye-aye ...

We've got at least a few more rounds of this...

Oh goodie.

You don't have to worry about that. There are enough of us here that you shouldn't have to take another one.

If it's something worse, though, I don't want to have gotten off easy ... [snuffle]

Who knows, for the next ones we might end up with all hope.

If that's the case, we should definitely save it ...

If we kept getting extras, I wouldn't mind giving them to other teams.

[nods]

Hope isn't something you need in a bottle either.

But in this case, it helps to transport it I suppose.

Maybe just a little.
