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.]

[private]

[nursetemple]

What can I say? I'm just that good.

[private]

[devoutish]

And yet, so modest.

[private]

[nursetemple]

[She laughs, the back of her hand to her mouth for a moment.]

Is confidence someone you dislike, Mr Solomons?

[private]

[devoutish]

Only when it's foolish.

[And he thinks it's probably not, here. It'll serve her well, not make her reckless.]
