I don't understand how humans survive.

[Someone has a cold.]

I'm serious. If you push yourself, you won't get better.

[She arches her eyebrows.]

You rebelled against Heaven. I'm pretty sure you can beat a cold.

Rebelling required activity. This requires inactivity.

You can still read and talk to people on the PCD. But you're not leaving the Temple until your fever is gone and you stop coughing.

[These are her terms. Accept them or accept them.]

Then I need my books.

[SHE IS GOING TO KILL YOU.]

Then write down what ones you want and I can go get them for you.

That is ridiculous. I can walk.

I could care less. You're going to sit there and shut up and enjoy it.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to enjoy being immobile?

[flameandpassion]

Your entire plan today was to sit in your room, not talk to anyone, and read. You weren't planning on leaving the house. You weren't even planning on leaving your room. Your schedule isn't going to change in any way, shape, or form.

You're just whining because you have to stay in your room, not because you were going to leave it.

Stop being a drama queen and shut up.

That does not mean I'm incapable of walking or getting my own things, Rei. I needn't be confined to my bed. It is completely unnecessary.

[flameandpassion]

You're arguing with me just to argue.

[She arches her eyebrows.]

You'll recover faster if you just sleep it off. I've been a human for longer than you have. This is how it works.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

That is inconvenient and not an option.

[flameandpassion]

You can rebel against Heaven but you can't last two hours sitting in one spot behaving yourself.

[Rei arches her eyebrows.]

That's more than a little pathetic. Even Chibiusa could do that when she was little.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Simply because I can manage doesn't mean I desire to.

[flameandpassion]

You couldn't last ten minutes of sitting down and shutting up.

[So there. But, to prove a point, Rei takes his hand and places it on her cheek, arching her eyebrows at him.]

Feel that? I'm cold to you, aren't I? I shouldn't be -- but I am, because you have a fever. Because you're sick. Because your immune system is fighting off whatever you caught.

I know it's a major stretch of the imagination to a being so ancient and full of wisdom as you, but I'm right, and you're wrong, and you're going to have to deal with it.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

I could, and have several times in the past. But I don't desire to.



Regardless I am not dying, and am unlikely to. Therefore I can and will get up and do what I desire.

[flameandpassion]

Cas.

[Patiently, and Rei pats his cheek lightly, before settling back against his footboard, arching her eyebrows.]

It's within my rights as your best friend to tell you that you're being an idiot. Don't take it personally.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

You tell me that I am an idiot often.

[flameandpassion]

This isn't a term of endearment, you're literally being an idiot.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

I am not.

[flameandpassion]

Yes. You are.

[Your face is wrong and uninformed. But then, Rei pauses, before she settles on something that will clearly solve everything.]

Think of a number between one and one hundred. If I can't guess what number it is, then you can go do whatever you want without me complaining or locking you in a room.

[Cheating.]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Agreeing to such would be counterproductive in establishing that I am not unintelligent.

[flameandpassion]

[Rei laughs, pleased, before settling back.]

Test me anyway, I'm rusty.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Fine.
