[private] ff it happens

[devoutish]

Odds are we're not gonna see our homes again. But low odds are not no odds, and I'm the sort of man who'd rather die fighting, if it comes to that.

[private]

[nursetemple]

[She nods, firmly. She can understand depression hitting you under the circumstances, but she agrees; they have to fight for themselves and to get their lives back.]

Good. [A smile.] I figure, there are worse criminals to fight alongside with.

[private]

[devoutish]

Worse doctors, too.

[And he coughs, badly, because what an opportune time for it.]

[private]

[nursetemple]

Hm. [She raises an eyebrow. It shouldn't surprise her that he hasn't said anything about it until now.]

Have you spoken to one about this?

[private]

[devoutish]

The cough? There's nothing to be done about it. It's MN poisoning. Surely you've read about that.

[private]

[nursetemple]

Yes, I have, but still. Some cough syrup would help, even if you cannot get rid of it entirely.

[She sighs softly, but there's a smile at the corner of her lips.]

I don't believe you'll listen to me if you don't wish to, so might as well save my breath.

[private]

[devoutish]

I'm not being stubborn. I've got medicine, I've got cough syrup, and it's done little.

[private]

[nursetemple]

So you have spoken to a doctor. You could just have said that.

[She chuckles, although sobers up quickly. The fact that it's not helping at all is most definitely an issue.]

I won't mention it again, besides just saying - keep at it. Even if it doesn't seem to help, it might just keep it from getting worse.

[private]

[devoutish]

If it were really a cold, that would be likely.

[private]

[nursetemple]

In any case, it won't hurt.

[private]

[devoutish]

Mm. Yeah.

It's not likely to kill me. I haven't heard of anyone dying of MN poisoning yet.

[private]

[nursetemple]

[Yet. She winces a little.]

I'd rather not you were the first.

[Him, or anyone else.]

[private]

[devoutish]

It might be the radiation that gets us instead.

[Isn't Norfinbury wonderful?]

[private]

[nursetemple]

Or the cold. [She's not dressed for this weather, really. Jeans will only get wet and stiff and make things worse, as well, so finding layers for her legs is kind of a priority.]

Thoroughly pleasant.

[private]

[devoutish]

It was worse earlier in the month. This is mild, now, compared to then.

[private]

[nursetemple]

Spring in Alaska, huh? Not my idea of a vacation, I have to say.

[private]

[devoutish]

Get yourself some blankets, if you can. They're a help.

[private]

[nursetemple]

I am hoping I will find some soon. I haven't moved from the house I woke up in yet, been catching up on what exactly I'm in the middle of. There isn't much in here.

[private]

[devoutish]

Where are you? Take a photograph.

[private]

[nursetemple]

[She takes her time, but does - takes a couple of pictures, of the living room, door open to the bedroom, and the kitchen. She sends them over to Alfie.]

I believe it's building 159 on Doctor House's map. I'm very near to the park, and the convenience store. The water works but it smells funny. I found a couple of useful things, but nothing that will keep me warm.

[However, a clean bra. She'll take that.]

[private]

[devoutish]

That's not a bad place to be. You're near to food.

[private]

[nursetemple]

I've got rations, though - I can't stay around here very long.

[She's already got someone that needs her help, and he's nowhere close.]

[private]

[devoutish]

Too much doctoring to do, eh?

[private]

[nursetemple]

You bet you ass I do.

[She grins.]

[private]

[devoutish]

[Okay, that makes him laugh again, just a tiny bit.]

Don't waste any fucking time, do you.

[But he means it as a compliment. Also, if she's going to swear, so will he.]
