[ Angela's back and in her pajamas once more, but she's still not resting. Instead she's at her desk, an ornately carved deal with an ink well and everything. Speaking of ink, it's all over the place. Smears and fingerprints here and there, papers tossed all around. Angela's in the middle of the mess, scribbling five brief messages and folding them with little attention to form. She looks at them a moment before sitting back, looking upset and frustrated. Her hair's a mess and she looks like she hasn't slept in a while. She fidgets nervously, as though she can't stay still for longer than a few seconds. ]

( More experiment fun~ )

[ She blinks, then sits on the bed. It's a lot smaller than hers, but it smells like him, and for some reason that calms her a bit. She slowly lies down on it, wincing a bit from her sore stomach muscles, but eventually settles down. She reaches out and takes his hand. ]

... Can I hold on to you? Until I can fall asleep?

[Brushes her hair out of her sweaty face.] 'course. Just relax, okay?

I'll try. [ And that's really all the encouragement she needs. Angela's out like a light, though she continues to shiver and breathes heavily in her sleep. ]

[He strokes her hair gently, the way he vaguely remembers his mom going before she got hooked on poppy.] Don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky, stormy weather, since my gal and I ain't together, keeps raining all the time...

[Dino comes up looking concerned] How is she doing?

[Doesn't even feel sheepish about being caught singing to her.] Not good.

[Goes to stand by the bed and just looks down at Angela. He doesn't look up when he speaks] Did she tell you what happened with that enemy of her's she was so hell bent on going after?

I dunno if he was really there, to be honest. [Resting a hand on her forehead worriedly.] She's cooking, and she said there was someone pretending to be her mom, and that everyone else believed it was her mom... But now they got her locked up in her room and she's going half-mad trying to reach her friends and get them to help.

[That makes Dino both relieved and more worried at the same time] You think the fever is messing with her mind that much? If she's really that bad...damn. There has to be something we can do to help her. [Runs his hand through his hair. He dislikes feeling helpless.]

Make sure she eats, make sure she rests. I'd try to mix something up for her, or have Maiza do it, but she's already in such a bad way and I don't plan on making it worse by accident.

I gave her some medicine earlier, when she wasn't this bad but I don't think it helped at all. [He starts playing with a few strands of Angela's hair] If we knew what she was sick with we might be able to help more.

[Looking down at her worriedly.] I'd holler up the Twins, but I think they're in on it somehow.

[Frown] They probably are. Even if they aren't, I don't want them anywhere near her. I don't trust them after what they've done lately.

[Remembers Li and growls darkly.] Yeah. Yeah, me neither.

[Sits down on the edge of the bed] So all we can do is wait. I hate doing that, especially when I feel like I should be doing something.

[Rests a hand on Angela's forehead.] Me too.

[Just watches Angela]

[Starts singing again quietly.] When she went away the blues walked in and they met me, if she stays away, that old rocking chair's gonna get me, all I do is pray the Lord above will let me, walk in the sun once more....
