"A little tired, maybe, but I feel fine otherwise," Evan replied with a meek smile. "Calm down, Swift. I'm not gonna die from soaking in a little mud."
He looked up at the guest to their conversation. "Oh hey, Arti. What's up?"

"A little? Evan, you were dripping wet for a good two h-" Swift was promptly cut off by Arti's arrival, reacting to this with a simple wave.

"Yo. Haven't seen you in a bit, eh? Been starring in wrestling- look up the Sunburn Smasher- altering history for the better, and designing clothes. But 'nuff about me," Arti said. "What's up with you two?"
He noted Evan's wet state. "You okay, man?"

"Wow. Sounds like someone's been busy," Evan chuckled. When asked about him being wet, Evan shrugged and replied, "Just took a shower. Swift, Pat, Ace and I went on a hike through the rainforest and I... kinda took a dunk in a bog. Figured I should wash off and get the mud off my clothes."

Swift sighed. "And having taken said dunk, I'm seriously starting to worry if you picked something up. Or at least messed yourself up walking around in a rainforest while sopping wet."
She leaned over slightly, taking a quick whiff. "Potential fever aside, you don't... smell right."

"A bog? Well considering SBURB and some other shit I've seen and heard of, maybe she's right." Arti said, crossing his arms. "You should see a doctor... Or a healer... Or a purifier... Or whatever the fuck can see what's going on."

Evan lowered his eyebrows, his gaze shifting between Swift and Arti. "Look, I'm fine. So I took a soaker. So what? I've taken worse. I don't think a little post-hike body heat is... anything t... to get... ha... ACHOO!!!"
A brief pause, a shake of his head, and an audible sniffle later, Evan looked back up at Arti completely unperturbed. "...anything to get worked up about."
His phone buzzed, prompting Evan to check his text messages with a grin. "Hey, the pizza's here."

If her upright ears were any indication, Swift wasn't taking this lightly anymore. "Evan, why don't you just go back upstairs and rest for the evening? I can finish this for you."

"Hey hey, there's pizza, she can handle the laundry fine, and you need to go lay down!" Arti shouted, almost placing an arm around Evan's shoulders. "How's about I take him back up and you finish the laundry up? Everybody wins, right?"

Evan groaned. As much as he wanted to argue that he was okay, he had a sinking feeling that he wasn't going to win this argument. Still... "I don't wanna dump my chores on you, Swift. I can sleep when my laundry's done."

"I don't mind," Swift insisted. "I have energy to spare, and I wanna spend it helping you. So go have some pizza and get some rest, Ev. I think you've earned it. Oh, and have Patrick send me two slices of meat lover's. Three if there's enough to spare."
She nodded to Arti. "Thanks, man. Don't let him worry about me, okay?"

"Oh, don't worry 'bout him worrying," Arti replied. "I'll make sure he's gettin' some sleep, even if I have to do it Biston back alley style." He grabbed Evan's arm, and started to yank the poor guy away. "C'mon, c'mon! Pizza and sleep!"

"Okay, okay..." Evan sighed with defeat, shooting Swift a sad look as he was hauled out of the laundry room. "Th-Thanks. I'll still be up when you're finished here. We can talk then, alright?"
As he and Arti made their way back upstairs, Evan frowned and rubbed his arms. "Geez, it is kinda cold out here." He sucked in a breath through his nose, the resulting noise and his following words sounding stuffy. "Shoulda worn a jacket."

"Alright, I'm not gonna hold my breath," Swift chuckled as Evan departed. "Get better, alright?!"
Left alone in the laundry room, Swift rested her chin in her hand and watched the rinse cycle Evan's clothes were going through. Sure, she was worried about his health -she figured she had the right to be- but other than making sure he was well rested, she wasn't going to stress over it too much. This probably wouldn't amount to much more than a cold. It wouldn't be fun, but they could handle it.
Right...?

"Yer lucky to have someone like her 'round, y'know?" Arti said, stopping in front of a door. "My luck says it's this one. I'm gonna just take some to go and leave ya to it. You got my phone, you know I'm here if you need knightly shit, lighty shit, or pasta."
Opening the door, the strange man slipped in, grabbed two slices of pizza, and slipped out the door, not really caring what the others thought of him.
