Keith, visiting 202, June 9th

[silenceandcards]

[He's armed with medication made by Jade... and nothing else. He doesn't cook. He can boil water, make some tea maybe, but he doesn't cook. But he does know about taking care of the sick from when his younger brothers got sick. So he has medication and every intent to stare down at the sick teenagers until they agreed to rest for at least a few hours as he crosses the hall to unit 202 and knocks on it.

But he's grown comfortable with them. He only waits a few seconds before he invites himself inside.]

[copia]

[ Well, good thing Keith doesn't have to worry about cooking very much! Kaede is on her way to the door as it opens, her hands wrapped up in a kitchen towel. Her face goes from curious — who is visiting this time? — to a relaxed expression with a smile. She tosses the towel on her shoulder as she lifts a hand up. ]

Hi!!

[silenceandcards]

[Not very many people can look at Keith's face and greet him with such cheer. The people who did, back home, were those who knew stranger or those were a part of the sort of society Keith grew up in -- criminals, mostly. It takes him a moment to blink away the surprise at Kaede's cheerful greeting.]

... I brought medicine.

[copia]

[ Well, Kaede is always that exception to the rule — mmmmost of the time. If she knows someone's a Bad Guy, she will avoid them like the plague.

It takes her a moment to process what he said before she claps her hands together. That's right! Jade did send that mass text to everyone about sending some medicine around. ]

Yes, thank you! Did Mr. Jade recommend anything specifically about giving it to Kido & Kano?

[silenceandcards]

[Let's say that he did. Keith pauses, then nods an affirmative at Kaede before pulling a folded up note from his pocket, opening it up and showing her the instructions. This would save him the trouble of remembering and saying it all out loud, and hoping the kids would remember it.]

How're they?

[copia]

[ She takes the instructions and quickly scans it. Easy enough to follow, too. She folds it back up as she looks at him. ]

Kido is resting. I know she wants to check on everyone else, though, but a lot of that energy is gone. Kano is still being silly, even when sick. I think he wants us to believe he's not sick.

[silenceandcards]

'S he using those eyes of his? That idiot.

[He seems to be about to sigh but doesn't. Still holding the medicine, he looks at Kaede.]

I'll put these on the counter.

[copia]

I'm almost positive he is.

[ She sighs for him and nods, stepping back over to the kitchen. ] Sure! Did you want to take a muffin with you on your way out?

[silenceandcards]

[Muffins, huh. He steps inside toward the kitchen.]

I'll take some for Curtiss.

[copia]

[ Give her a moment to connect who that is as she grabs a plastic bag... ]

...oh! Sure. [ And a few muffins later, it's ready to go! ] Did you want anything to drink before you go?

[silenceandcards]

[He shakes his head, taking a moment before he takes the bag.]

I appreciate it, but it's fine. [a pause] You need anything?

[copia]

[ She nods again before shaking her head. ] No, but thank you for bringing the medicine and checking on us.

[silenceandcards]

If you need more, Curtiss or I'll be in 207.

[duplicitoussight]

[Kano happens to be in his room when Keith drops in. Sometime later, he wanders out to get a drink of water. He waves when he spots the gangster, his voice a little hoarse.]

Ah, I didn't expect you to drop by.

[silenceandcards]

[He takes a note of Kano's voice -- sick. Not that he would've brought medicine if Kano wasn't. What's he doing, wandering around and out of bed? Knowing Kido and Kano, Keith's first assumption is probably accurate: these kids wouldn't rest completely unless they were tied to their beds.]

Medicine. [The facts he doesn't have to relay because of Jade's text: they're from the soldier. He spent hours working on it. He was worried.]

[duplicitoussight]

[Even if he was on his deathbed, Kano would rather pretend that he's fine and force himself up and about. He tilts his head at the mention of medicine. Right... that was what Jade had been working on.

He didn't like the man, but Kano had to admit that he didn't seem the type to want to worsen their illnesses. So he smiles and holds out a hand.]

He's done already? That's really fast.

[silenceandcards]

A moron just like you. Won't rest.

[He ignores Kano's hand, instead taking the bottle that was intended for the kid and bringing it down gently on top of his head, pressing it into Kano's hair.]

Go lie down.

[duplicitoussight]

[Still wearing the easy smile, Kano reaches up and grabs the bottle. He'd be a bit more miffed, but everything's dulled since he got sick.]

You sound just like Kido. Are there any instructions I need to know for the medicine?

[silenceandcards]

Kido's got common sense, might be why.

[He points to the bottle, nodding.] They're on the label.

[duplicitoussight]

Hey, hey, I can be just as responsible as she can.

[He turns the bottle over, glancing over the instructions. Seems easy enough.]

[silenceandcards]

[Can be doesn't matter when you don't actually show it. He just raises an eyebrow and sighs.]

Using your eyes to pretend you're fine?

[duplicitoussight]

[Oh, have Kido and Kaede been telling on him? What a bother. He points to his eyes.]

I don't need to use my eyes since I am fine.

[silenceandcards]

[He guessed, kiddo. But Kaede did agree with him.

Fine. Right.]

Just stay fine.

[duplicitoussight]

[He waves the advice off.]

Eh, I'm not that reckless, am I? I'll definitely take care of myself--otherwise there'd be no one to take care of Kido, right? So please set your heart to rest.

[silenceandcards]

[The argument here would be that Kido's got Jade, and Keith is right here. Kaede seems to be peachy. But he figures Kano knows this, so he just sighs.]

Got it.
