…and you. - Opening
Vyrn and an unfamiliar figure watch over a bedridden (Captain) in a dreamlike world. Back in reality, (Captain) is similarly bedridden while being watched over by Vyrn and Lyria.
Vyrn: (Captain)! You're awake!
A young (Captain) awakens with a terrible cough at home in Zinkenstill.
Vyrn places a paw on the youngster's forehead to check for a fever.
Vyrn: Logia! (Captain)'s up, but still runnin' hot...
The figure that Vyrn addresses comes to the side of the bed, face colored with concern.
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: I thought for sure the fever had gone away after all that sweat, but I guess that was just wishful thinking...
Gran is the Main Character
???: I thought for sure the fever had gone away after all that sweat, but I guess that was just wishful thinking...
Logia checks for illness too, placing a hand on the crest of (Captain)'s neck.
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: It's gone down a smidge or two, but a change of clothes and more rest would certainly help.
Gran is the Main Character
???: It's gone down a smidge or two, but a change of clothes and more rest would certainly help.
Vyrn: Yeah, I'm worried about that cough...
???: Vyrn? Logia? How is (Captain) feeling?
Vyrn: I thought I told you not to come in here, Xing! Fevers are infectious, remember?
Young Xing: Sorry... I was just really worried.
Young Xing: I brought some fresh clothes for (Captain).
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: How awfully considerate, Xing! Well, (Captain)? Think you can prop yourself up just enough to change?
Gran is the Main Character
???: How awfully considerate, Xing! Well, (Captain)? Think you can prop yourself up just enough to change?
With Logia's assistance, (Captain)'s body shifts upward.
Vyrn: All right, keep those arms raised! I'm gonna take off the clothes you're wearin' now.
Young Xing: Give them here. I'll take the old clothes to the washing basin.
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: Now where's that medicine from the doctor... Ah, here it is. But you should eat something first...
???: Care for some porridge, (Captain)? We have some in the kitchen. But I wouldn't want to push you if you're not feeling it.

???: Care for some porridge, (Captain)? We have some in the kitchen. But I wouldn't want to push you if you're not feeling it.
After changing into a fresh set of clothes with Vyrn's help, (Captain) considers the offer and refuses.
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: No problem. Let's just go with a radish syrup remedy mixed with hot water then. I'll be right back.
Gran is the Main Character
???: No problem. Let's just go with a radish syrup remedy mixed with hot water then. I'll be right back.
Vyrn remains in the room while Logia and Xing head out.
Vyrn: Sigh... Shoulda known that playin' with Aaron in the snow for so long yesterday would lead to this...
Vyrn: I know you were havin' a blast, but the least I could've done was have you come in before dark. I'm sorry, (Captain)...
With a head wag, the child absolves Vyrn of any guilt and accepts the blame for having pressed everyone to stay outside longer the day prior.
Vyrn: Except your dad trusted me to take care of ya, you know?
Vyrn: I can't help but feel responsible...
Hoping to cheer him up a bit, the child asks for some bodily warmth.
Vyrn: You got it, buddy! But wait, if I get under the covers with you now, won't you end up fallin' asleep before you take your medicine?
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: The syrup and medicine are ready! Luckily for you, the pill is coated in sugar, so it's not bitter in the least.
???: The syrup-water mixture is still hot, so let me blow on it for you.
???: Fwoo, fwoo...

???: The syrup-water mixture is still hot, so let me blow on it for you.
???: Fwoo, fwoo...
(Captain) takes the slightly cooled mug and ingests the remedy along with the medicine before lying back down.
Vyrn: I'm gonna be your personal heatin' pad tonight, (Captain)!
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: Ooh, you get to sleep here, Vyrn? I'm almost jealous...
Gran is the Main Character
???: Ooh, you get to sleep here, Vyrn? I'm almost jealous...
Vyrn: Hehe, not like you'd fit in (Captain)'s bed anyway, Logia.
Djeeta is the Main Character
???: True...
???: But hey, at least I get to chat with Xing until I fall asleep!
???: Good night, (Captain). Hope you feel better in the morning.
Gran is the Main Character
???: True...
???: But hey, at least I get to chat with Xing until I fall asleep!
???: Good night, (Captain). Hope you feel better in the morning.
After patting the child's head, Logia leaves the room to go wash the mug.
Vyrn: Nighty-night and sweet dreams, (Captain)...
Vyrn gives (Captain) a gentle pat on the shoulder as he murmurs those words.
Lulled into sleep by the rhythm of the dragon's paw, (Captain) closes both eyes.
In the captain's quarters aboard the Grandcypher...
(Captain) has remained bedridden for days now, recovering from a high fever under the watch of Vyrn and Lyria.
Vyrn: The fever's not goin' down at all...
Lyria: (Captain)'s face is still flush red, and the medicine from the doctor doesn't seem to be working...
Vyrn: Pretty sure it's not a disease particular to the island we came from either...
Lyria: Maybe we should visit another doctor... Or we can have Fif take a look at (Captain).
Trading worried glances, Lyria and Vyrn nod in unison.
The captain, still in deep slumber, does not hear a word of this exchange.
