Chris, instead of trying to do stuff while she's sick, is actually being sensible and resting.

The only reason she's being sensible though is her head hurts too much to move around.

But she can't sleep, so she's just lying on the bed and staring into space.

A tight, nervous smile when he touches her forehead.

"No. Or there wasn't when I checked. I should have asked when I went downstairs but I assumed I had a fever already so why bother? You think the bar would include complete first aid packets at this point with all the people that get hurt," she laughs slightly and then wills herself to shut up.

"Yeah, especially for some of us." He briefly considers checking for a thermometer, but then she didn't feel that warm. Besides, she'd already taken a drink of juice, which would screw up the reading if she took her temperature now.

"When did you start feeling sick?"

"I woke up yesterday feeling a little under the weather. I felt better as the day went on but then I woke up this morning feeling worse."

He gives her a sympathetic smile. "Well you probably just need to ride it out for a couple more days. It's probably just stress." He thinks for a moment. "Does your Dad know you're not feeling well?"

"That's what I think." Chris takes another drink of the orange juice.

"No, he doesn't," she says simply.

"Do you want me to tell him if I see him?" he asks, his tone a little softer.

She gives a quick nod. "Sure."

"Okay. Anyway, I'll let you get some rest. Is there anything else you wanted? Another book or something?" he asks, picking up his coffee cup.

"No. Thank you. I tried to read earlier and it made my headache worse."

He nods. "Okay. I'm sure if you need anything else, Bar'll have someone bring it up. Mind if I stop by occasionally and see how you're doing?"

"That'd be fine," she says with a small smile.

"Okay," he says, with a small smile in return. "Get some rest. I'll see you later."

"I will. Later, Jack."
