[Closed] I'm either so sick in the head

Date & Time: late on July 25-28th
Location: Apartment 810
Characters: Flora, Lestat, and fraaands. Tag yourselves!
Summary: After feeling better than she has in quite some time, she's back in Exsilium, and it's not agreeing with her.
Warnings: None. Well, Lestat'll be around, if that counts.

[ooc: despite the format of the post, i don't really care about tag style, so do whatever you're comfortable with, I'll shift to match. :3b]

On the twenty fourth, Flora did her best to have fun, even though she knew what she'd be going back to the next day. All the more reason to savour every last moment of it to the best of her ability, and she did, even while that lurked in the back of her mind. Late into the day, she made sure to stay near Lancelot and absolutely away from everyone else. Pain had been nothing new for her, honestly, you couldn't be a Guardian Fairy without experiencing it reasonably often (whatever counted as reasonably), but that was in the heat of battle, that was with adrenaline and grit. This was different. It wasn't just pain, either, it was insanity and sickness and sadness. She'd face it, she had no choice, but until it happened, it was waiting for an axe to drop. And waiting, and waiting, and waiting....

Finally, and yet all too soon, they got back.

She couldn't breathe at first, and by the time she could, it was a poisonous effort. The world felt slow and sluggish with the decay, the twisted life and the lack of it, and she moved in much the same way, dazed and swaying. On its heels were the screams like lightning, striking her mind over and over and over. She cried for the world, and the world did through her. It was all the same.

It was too much for her mind to take all at once, and she blacked out. She slept.

It was not sound or restful.


Still, she woke, eventually, awkwardly sitting up in her bed (when did she get here?) and rubbing her forehead.

"A-are we still...at the beach, because my head feels like it was trampled by a dinosaur."

"Just one unit. I'm not greedy, even if I would say that I deserve more." He's so humble, isn't he? So modest.

"Suit yourself." Another sip. He can tell the poor thing is getting annoyed. "How much longer are you going to be in bed? It's late enough for me to me to be awake."

"You have," he replies casually. "When I woke up, you were still asleep. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite with vampires, but oh well. C'est la vie." Another sip of the blood.

"Are you at least feeling better after all of that?"

"Are you?" He's almost amused by the statement. Sure, simply by virtue of being a vampire - something that requires the blood of the living to continue living himself - wasn't exactly the most empathic of creatures, but he would never consider himself evil.

"Is it that difficult to believe that I'm curious? You were fine, a while ago. Now all of a sudden, you're ill, and yet you haven't gone to the infirmary."

That's what he had been waiting for her to admit. "And why is that?" he asks. "Even without the fancy technology of the United Earth, their standard of medical science is much higher than it was during my own time." She should be able to see what he's getting at here.

"What is it? A curse? Magic?"
