Rolling to face him a little better was already enough exertion on her part and she took a deep breath to ward off the oncoming coughing fit, but there was nothing she could do. Hiding behind the blankets, she felt like she was hacking up a lung and could only ride it out until it was over. By the time she could breathe normally again, her whole body ached and she curled tighter into the blankets.

"Sorry," She mumbled, lacking any sort of energy to joke or try to follow his lead. It was taking all of her energy to keep her eyes open and not drift back off. "Caught a little something outside yesterday." Was all she really had by way of explanation. She would tell him about Alice and by extension about Sisse, when she could focus properly and not be interrupted by minutes-long coughing rampages that took just about everything out of her that she had left. She should have gone straight in to talk to him, she realized, and she would have been able to avoid this whole mess, but had wanted time to get the original hurt and upset out before she blubbered all over him with other people watching.

"Nurse says I have the flu." Hypothermia had been dismissed, but a very real possibility last night. Thankfully, though she didn't currently feel warm at all, that was the fever and not something else. Honestly if she took a moment to be dramatic, it kind of felt like she was dying. It was not pleasant, not in the slightest.
