[Poor Xingchen isn't immune to stray illnesses - though his golden core is strong enough to heal him quickly. However he has had a tough week regardless and his hair is loose against his fever red cheeks.]

To those who haven't seen me attending to my usual duties, I apologize. I have been feeling under the weather.

[He blinks suddenly, realizing he pressed video instead of voice. Ah. Bowing his head, his long rabbit ears pressed against his head, he looks ashamed and embarrassed.]

I'm... well. Please don't worry.

Would you like me to bring you some herbs for our tea? To help you feel better?

[Worried flower is worried.]

[He peeks up at the familiar voice and smiles weakly.]

I think I am not contagious. If you wouldn't mind me not looking my best, my friend.

[pinkblinded]

Not at all. You never have to look your best with me.

[He offers him a gentle smile and is already going into his garden to gather the herbs he needs.]

[gentledawn]

[The reassurance makes him chuckle and he manages to lift himself off the bed to at least wash his face.]

How was your week?

[He blinks softly then frowns in concern.]

Did you get sick, Xingchen?

[gentledawn]

A bit. [He tries to straighten his hair, peeking at Runyu shyly.] My golden core struggled with it.

[dragonrising]

Do you need some extra energy for your core?

[gentledawn]

I only need to hear the voices of my friends.

A-Chen? What has happened?

[ He's already on his way! ]

[Video]

[gentledawn]

I was sick. [And clearly he is weak from it.] I didn't wish to give it to anyone else.

[fated_dance]

I'm bringing you some soup and medicine.

[gentledawn]

You're very kind, A-Shu. I will wait for you in the temple.

[video because I want to be able to baby elf later]

[bythewaves]

Xingchen, are you alright? You do not look well. Is there anything I can do to help?

[Video] Bb Elf is gonna be cuddled.

[gentledawn]

I was ill most of the week. [He doesn't want to repeat those days.] Seeing you helps me immensely.

yes good come hug him person who sorta looks like you might be related

[bythewaves]

Are you sure? [ FRETTING DAD MODE ACTIVATED ]

Humans can get quite sick, yes? Do you need medicine?

Family isn't just about blood. XXC will happily adopt the little Elf!

[gentledawn]

Yes, they can. It is less common for Cultivators. [Which makes him wonder if the virus has a magical component to it.] My golden core just needs time to strengthen.

..... I have some medicine. What are your symptoms?

Video

[gentledawn]

[Oh. She's lovely. He smiles a little, amazed.]

I would rather you keep it in case you need it.

Re: Video

[song_princess]

[She forces a small smile and shakes her head.]

I have my forest, it will keep me healthy and heal any ailments. You need it more now than this one.

Video

[gentledawn]

Your forest? [Is that where she lives?] I do not know why this ailment caused me such difficulty. I am usually able to heal myself.

(( Someone is wearing a very unhappy face! ))

A-Chen! You should have said something sooner! I would've brought you medicines!

video

[gentledawn]

[What a shame for that handsome face to ever be unhappy!]

I didn't wish to infect anyone else.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Valiant. But also ridiculous. Kexing would willingly battle illness for his dear friend! ))

How are you feeling now? I could bring some medicinal teas if you're willing to accept visitors.

[gentledawn]

[He knows that. Which makes him all the more stubborn about keeping Kexing safe from harm.]

Tired and weak. [But he is aware of time again. So his fever has dropped.] You know you are always welcome, A-Xing.

Gongzi, are you in need of some aid? My name is Wen Qing and I'm a doctor.
