[akito]

[ there are quite a few things akito would like to address, but just the thought of trying to find the right words for it all is exhausting. so he keeps it simple, and focuses on what he wants to ask the most: ]

...The Foreigners have a resistance to the zhyris but not an immunity, right?

[ his voice is scratchy and he sounds tired, but otherwise doesn't sound all that bad. and it's totally not related in any way to his question. nope. no way. ]

Comments

[ruinsprofessor]

It should, but even so, don't take the chance. Stick to one form until you're better.

[She gives Akito a quizzical look at that phrasing, only a few of their past discussions making it not outright suspicion. 'This body' is a warning bell for someone who's dealt with a body-stealing enemy.]

The only people who have died to my knowledge are... very young children and the very elderly. [Somber, but not overly mournful.] If you've been taking care of yourself, you shouldn't be in serious danger.

[akito]

There's no point changing anyway, since I keep falling asleep.

[ ... 'if you've been taking care of yourself'... well, he's been trying. and improving. not being an infant or super old should make up the difference though, so no worries!

He nods. ]

Un, okay.

[ruinsprofessor]

[Please let her have faith in your self-preservation instincts for a little while longer, Akito.]

[She does smile a little, though, askance look gone.]

All right.

I meant it when I said immediately. Since you're here alone... even if it's the middle of the night.

[She'd prefer it if he were at the Guild, but she's not going to force the issue.]
