voice 凶 un: cloudywolf

[liveandforgive]

[ Cloud, for the most part, kept a low profile when it came to the happenings of this world. That didn't mean he never checked his device, checking in on the network and taking up quests here and there. But posting online himself? Not since his time spent in another world that he had a business to run did he really put enough effort into putting himself out there.

So. What's the otherwise reserved Cloud doing out here? ]

Hey...

[ ... why does his voice sound a bit nasally? An audible sniffle follows. ]

I'm just— [ His breath clips before his voice sounds like it's growing fainter from the microphone. ] S'cuse me...aahhh- aaaah...

[ ... ]

A-CHOO—!

[ THUNDER BOOM. ⚡ The sound of something glasslike/porcelain breaking accompanies it. ]

Shit!

[ There's some scrambling, putting down his device, picking it back up, a cough before he hits the mute button. After a couple awkward moments of silence, the mic's back on and the stuffed-up blond asks calmly, ]

Anyone know a good magic doctor? [ A beat. ] ...and where to buy sinks? Thanks.

[ When the Magical Flu hits an elemental caster, no bathroom sink is safe apparently. ]

[ Perhaps it has to do with the fact that Cloud was successful in helping stop Geostigma. If it hadn't been for defeating Sephiroth again, things may have turned out far worse. So he has no pain anymore when he can answer with a nod and tired smile, ]

Mm. After beating Sephiroth, we were able to heal a buncha people.

[schmisse]

That's good to know.

[ The worst would have been if Denzel didn't make it! Not that... Weiss knows who Denzel is in the first place. All she knows is that he's part of Cloud's family. She's seen him in Cloud's photos back in Lunatia.

... maybe she can try to find a way to get it back here. Nevermind the photos they took there, as important as they are to her. It'd make a great gift for Cloud, she thinks. ]

How did you end up catching this kind of flu, anyway? [ What the hell did he do again??? Sure, he couldn't sleep, but he must have gotten exposed to something or someone, right? ]

[liveandforgive]

Beats me...

[ Cloud gives a shrug, hands in his lap as a half-frown mars his lips. ]

Ever since everyone from Celliwig moved into Camelot, it's been a little more crowded. So...maybe?

[schmisse]

I dunno...

[ That could be partly why? And it has been starting to get cold... Still, for a sickness to make your magic all weird. Crazy stuff! ]

I'll look it up later once you're resting. I hope it's really just the flu and nothing more.

[liveandforgive]

Apparently it's going around.

[ He doesn't sound upset about it, but he'll faux pout about it anyway. ]

Nanaki didn't get it. Kinda jealous about that...

[schmisse]

[ You should be jealous, Cloud. ]

Should he be sick like you?

[liveandforgive]

[ The most nasally, ] What?? No! No, not that. Just...not used to getting sick in the first place.

[ So suck it up and eat your soup and get better. ]

[schmisse]

I told you not to get sick again, remember?

[ :T ]

[liveandforgive]

S'not my fault...

[ ... sniffle. ]

... that wasn't me being sad I'm stuffed up.

[schmisse]

I suppose there's something good about this...

[ Not the trademark headtilt, but a headtilt all the same. She's not mad! And she wants him to know that. ]

I get to pay you back for when I got sick.

[liveandforgive]

[ That earns her another soft smile as he nods, leaning forward as he sits as he looks to her with familiar affection in his eyes. How lucky was he... ]

Don't get used to it. [ A beat. ] 'Cause I'll kick this in no time with your help.

[schmisse]

[ That's the plan! The sooner the better, after all. ]

Let me know if this is enough, by the way. I can make salad, or something else.

[liveandforgive]

It's perfect. 'Bout as perfect as it can get with me like this...

[ And if she needs any more reassurance? ]

No training or going out till I'm better. I promise.

[schmisse]

I'll make the tea when you're done, then.

[ It'll help his tummy, too! Especially since it's warm. ]

[liveandforgive]

Thank you.

[ Cloud shuffles where he sits, only to stop and realize that, right. Right. ...no kissing. Dammit. ]

[schmisse]

[ She's staring at him for a few good seconds, wondering what it was he was about to do. Did he need something? What was he reaching for— oh.

... oh. Now she's pouting. ]

No...?

[ SHE'S GONNA KISS YOU IF YOU LET HER, CLOUD 😫 ]

[liveandforgive]

[ Damn it, don't pout. His hair's already a mess, but it's almost like it deflates as his shoulders droop. ...if he had wolf ears still, they'd be going with. ]

I'll get you sick.

[ ... then again, being in proximity of someone whose sick would probably do it. ]

[schmisse]

[ Here is Weiss... wishing they had a dog so the dog can kiss her lots while Cloud is sick. ]

I'm being punished and I haven't even done anything bad.

[ :'( she sighs, breath heavy, and expression forlorn. Cloud is making her suffer!! So he really needs to get better right away. ]

[liveandforgive]

Do I feel sorry for—

[ clears throat. ugh. stuffed everywhere. sdjflka ]

... ....

[ Today on "not a common word in Cloud's vocabulary"...! But for the sake of cheering his girlfriend up. ]

Couple more bites then...cuddle?

[ That's the one. ]

[schmisse]

[ ... did she just hear Cloud say he wanted to "cuddle"? That's not even a word in her own vocabulary! At least, she knows it, but she has definitely never used the word on purpose in this context.

Hm... ]

What was that? I couldn't quite understand what you said.

[ Because of his stuffy nose and all. :) ]

[liveandforgive]

[ "What was that?" ]

[ Uh oh. ]

[ "I couldn't quite understand what you said." ]

[ Gross sniffle. Eyes wide. Frost beneath his nostrils because his magic's out of control. ]

Ahh... Umm... More...soup?

[ Oh he knows what he said. And now he's regretting it. Get him. ]

[schmisse]

Oh...

[ Yearning and forlorn, Weiss Schnee looks back down at the bowl of soup. Guess the soup is more important... This truly is some form of punishment. 💔 ]

Here you go.

[ One spoonful of soup coming right up! And she's quick to shove it in his mouth if he opens it. Even quicker to scoop another serving for him, too. ]

[liveandforgive]

Thank y—

[ MMM?! Into his mouth it goes. The soup's not piping hot or anything, so, this is fine. ...sorta? Cloud's quick to swallow it, face red as he feels embarrassed. Then she gets another one for him, and he's prepared to say something else when, again, ]

Mm—??

[ Weiss. Weiss please. It's great but- ]

Waitwait-

[ He needs time to swallow the spoonful! He gives up! He gives up! ]

I said cuddle.

[schmisse]

[ NO WAITING. ONLY SHOVING.

ACTUALLY, Weiss does wait! Only for him to say cuddle before shoving the soup into his mouth. ]

You must have a really bad cold... I can barely make what you're saying.

[liveandforgive]

Ah-ehmm—

[ NOW SHE'S DOING THIS ON PURPOSE. His cheeks inflate for comedic effect with the soup shoved in his mouth. He pulls away from the spoon with a 'pop'. ]

Cuddle. C u d d l e. Now shtop...
