[SOMEBODY'S HELLA SICK. Henry's avoiding his dorm to keep himself away from his roommate while he's sick. At first, he also tried his best to stay away from everyone else. But when the fever intensified, he forgot why he had to put in the effort.
It's because his magical talents tend to go a little haywire while he's ill.
He can be found stumbling about in a feverish daze while classes are supposed to be going on, but he's obviously not attending. When he's not doing that, he's asleep somewhere. Wandering around all the time exhausts him. While he's sleeping, he can be found sleeping in an appropriate spot, such as the sofa in the common room or leaning over a table in the corner of the library.
Uh... He can also be found sleeping in a completely inappropriate spot, like the middle of the floor. It happens.]
[WHAT THIS ALL MEANS is that Henry can accidentally curse some characters without meaning to. YOUR CHARACTER WON'T EVEN SEE IT COMING. Contact me here if you want somebody to get cursed. We can discuss details and your character can be appropriately upset.]

[He didn't feel up to fighting her decision. Was he supposed to be in class right now? Henry realized that he didn't even know what time it was. How long had this sickness been going on, anyway? How many days? It must be pretty bad, and it didn't help that he wasn't doing a very good job at staying in bed in his room. He wished he didn't have to go to the office. Walking all the way there felt like so much trouble.
Maybe he'd curse Vivian on accident. It couldn't be too bad of a curse, and it'd wear off eventually. Then he'd be able to get away and go back to sleep! It was her fault for trying to move him somewhere. It would only be fair for him to give her a warning, at the very least. Slowly and deliberately, he spoke.]
You know, Vivian... I'd be careful around me, okay? I'm trying to stay away from everyone... I mean, why would you mess with a feverish dark mage~? Would you stay around me if you knew that I couldn't control my own magic...?

She shook her head. ]
You've made your point, but this is my assignment.
no subject
[His tone sounded weary, but he continued complying with her lead.
At some point along the way, Henry started to slow in his pace and then he stopped entirely, leaning his head against the wall. On his face was that persistent smile of his. He didn't say anything.]
no subject
She walked back to him and put both her hands around his wrist. ]
Uhm, hello?
[ He looked like he fell asleep. ]
no subject
Ahah, sorry~ Dizzy.
[Henry pushed himself away from the wall to continue following her, but he found himself with another coughing fit. He snapped his attention back to Vivian, his fingers pressed against his temples.
He'd cursed her, and he had a feeling he did. It would set in in a matter of minutes.]
Huhh... Are you okay...?
no subject
[ Tugging his wrist gently, she turned around to keep walking, but with every step she took, she found her eyebrows pinched as her eyes narrowed and narrowed... This was like falling asleep, but she wasn't tired.
Vivian began to slow down, now letting Henry go to be left to his own devices. Each step marked a loss of her vision, and she had to reach up and touch her eyes to make sure they were still open. Heck, she ended up poking one. ] Ow.
[ She looked around. Did someone shut the lights off? ]
Hello? [ She turned toward the wall. ] Is anyone there? [ Her voice came back to her fairly quickly, so she took a couple of steps and BUMP. Right into the wall. ]
no subject
[Her behavior confused him at first, mostly because that curse he might have set off on her was a complete wildcard to his knowledge. But now that he observed the way she moved, he wondered what it could be. Cursed with a lack of coordination, cursed with persistent confusion, cursed with blindness... He couldn't be sure.
But he was free, and he could sneak away if he wanted to. She didn't seem to know where he was. He cocked his head and offered his options some slow and hazy consideration.]
Hey... Vivian? Can I tell you something~? [He stayed where he was, not wanting to startle her.]
no subject
Yes? What is it?
no subject
[He broke into a coughing fit. With a raspy voice, he laughed.]
Sorry~ BE-01. [He cleared his throat. DAMMIT, his voice was really fading to that terrible sick almost-nothingness.] Check back in a few days, 'kay? Seeya!
[WHETHER SHE LIKED IT OR NOT, HENRY WAS OFF, just makin' his way back down the hallway and heading dizzily toward the flight of stairs. That was how he was gonna play this. He'd let her serve him whatever punishment it was lllllater.]
