"Hey gals!" Swift chimed upon being greeted at the door by two of her neighbors. It was always nice to see them... even if being around Evelyn was still kind of confusing, if only subconsciously. Her smile widened when Erin offered her a baggie of cookies. "Aw, well thank you! I'm sure these'll be gone before the day is out."
When asked about her day, Swift's grin turned somewhat bashful. "Well, the gang's at the mall right now. I'm just hanging out here 'cause... Evan's sick. Figured I oughta look after him."

!!
The statement definitely caught Erin's attention. "Ooooh, sick huh? Yeah, that always sucks." She pops the void bubble and hands over the bag of cookies. "Well, if you need anything you're always free to cross the street and come ask for help. Bro's not in right now, but I know Ryan wouldn't be adverse to helping out. Same with me and Eevee~."
Erin looked back to her friend to smile a bit, though she takes notice of the awkward expression, causing her to pause and to consider things... "Hmm... Well in any cases, it was good to see you Swift, just keep in mind what I said." The Kunoichi flicked back her bangs behind her ears with a smile.

Evelyn frowned sympathetically. She might not have known how to help, let alone how Swift or Erin expected her to help, but she at least pitied Evan's situation. "W-What's wrong with him?"
"ACHOO...!!!"
She cringed slightly and peeked over Swift's shoulder. "Uh... How bad is it?"

Swift meekly smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Erin. If I think of something, I'll let ya know."
She then whipped around and stared down the hall at the sudden noise. That didn't sound pleasant. "Sounds like he's up again..."
Despite her nagging doubts, Swift didn't want to worry the girls too much. Thus, she turned back around and replied, "Eh, it's just a cold. Pretty rough one, to be fair, he's not exactly the poster child of health... but he can only get better from here, right?"

Erin nodded. "Well, if you say so. We'll be around though! Later!" She closes the door for Swift, having said that.
......................
She then turned to Evelyn, smiling simply. "Aww, you said a few things that time~. I think you're making progress Eevee~!" She walks over and hugs the rogue of Hope, looking gleeful.

Evelyn scowled at nothing in particular. "You make it sound like I've gone totally apathetic. The guy's sick. I'm not so far gone that I can't feel bad about that."
---------------------------
Sure enough, Evan was lying awake in bed, grimacing at the snotty mess he had just sneezed into his hands. He subsequently strained to reach the box of tissues on his night stand, yelping and whimpering as the stretching of his arm once again ignited sharp pain in his side. Eventually he grabbed a wad of tissues, using them to wipe of his hands and blow his nose.
"Ugh..." This sucked.

"Um... Yeah. Thanks," Swift weakly responded as Erin and Evelyn departed, once again leaving her alone in the apartment with her patient.
Upon returning to the bedroom, Swift found Evan in the middle of expelling the contents of his nostrils into multiple tissues. "Hey, Ev. How're you doing? About the same?"

Erin quickly separated from Evelyn upon hearing that and held up her hands defensively. "No-no-no! Of course not! That's not what I meant-! ... It's just..." She looked to the Rogue of Hope with an expression of concern. "You've been very quiet every since you've gotten here... I mean, I trust me, I get it... You've had a very hard time recently and you still need time to recover..."
.... After a moment of exchanging gazes, Erin started scratching behind her head. "But... Sometimes having friends around to help can go a long way. I'm just concerned because you don't have to suffer all by yourself."

"Suffer?" Evelyn stuck her hands in her pockets and started trudging back down the stairs. "I'm not the one who's sick. I'm not the one who's suffering."
---------------------------
As Swift took off down the hall, Carter looked up from where he had been lying in the living room, then stood up, yawned and stretched. He figured he had let things settle down enough. It was probably high time he checked on his master.
When Swift entered the bedroom, Evan looked up from his tissues and nodded meekly. "Yeah. About the same. Were, uh... AHEM... Were you talking to someone?"

"Yeah..." Swift murmured as she stepped inside. "Erin and Evelyn. They were dropping off some cookies."
She smiled, shrugged and, knowing he'd need it, dragged the waste basket over to his bedside. "So I know it's only been about an hour, but do you need anything?"

"Th-that's not what I was-" She let out a grunt as Eevee trudged back down the steps. ".... Honestly..."
.....
Oh well... At least she seemed to be improving.
.....
Eevee felt a pair of arms wrapping around her mid-section, finding herself being hugged from behind. Erin meanwhile smiled widely before circling around to boop her on the nose. "I'm sorry if what I said sounded rude..." She said with the best genuine gaze she could give. "I do care about you though Eevee. And I'm glad that you came with me on this little delivery."
With a nod, she took the girl's hand. "Come on, let's head back home."

"Yeah, I know..." Evelyn mumbled, still slumped over with her hands in her pockets as she followed Erin without another word. Honestly, she was feeling anxious to get home. She couldn't put her finger on it... It wasn't Swift, it wasn't Evan's illness, but something about that apartment was making her feel... nervous.
---------------------------
"Actually..." Evan replied, shooting Swift a sad smile. "I hate to make you run back and forth so much, but... I was kinda wondering if I could have the laptop. Might as well pass the time watching Netflix or something."

"Evan, come on. You know I don't mind," Swift chuckled, ruffling his hair. "I can most certainly do that for ya!"
She tilted her head slightly, shooting him an amused, quizzical grin. "You know, I only noticed this now, but when was the last time you shaved?"

"Last night. Why do ya-?" The moment Evan reached up to touch his face, he realized what Swift was referring to. Sure enough, his chin was covered in a thin, somewhat patchy razor stubble. Obviously, the fact that it had grown back in so quickly struck him as odd, but that wasn't what confused him the most. Maybe his skin was just more sensitive from the cold, but his facial hair felt... courser than usual.
"Um... Wow."

Swift shrugged. "Maybe this cold's just gotten you all hormonal. That can happen to guys, right?"
With another shrug, she made her way out the door. "Well, no big deal, I guess. Be right back with the lappy!"
