[Closed] I can see my life passing me by

[pricklybloom]

🧙 WHO: Amy Rose and Shadow the Hedgehog
⚔️️ WHAT: Amy may have been pushing herself a bit too hard. But she's totally not sick though, of course not.
🕒 WHEN: Mid-November
🗺️ WHERE: Starts on the training grounds
⚠️ WARNINGS: Rampant magic and sickness. May update if more things happen

[ Knuckles would probably get on her case if he knew just how much Amy has been up to lately, but she reassured herself with the fact that he isn't here at the moment. Sure she'd taken on some quests, and she was volunteering at clinics to help with the rise of people infected with the magical flu, not to mention continued efforts to help the Celliwig and Lestari refugees in Camelot, all in addition to her school lessons, training, and her job at the Helleste Café. But balancing all that certainly isn't any more work than trying to organize a whole Restoration movement during a worldwide emergency, right?

And okay, maybe she could have used a bit more sleep, but she's done a lot worse, she reminds herself as she makes her way to the training grounds to meet with Shadow. And sure, her head is a little foggy, and she feels a little chilled, but that's just the change in the weather.

She's totally fine, really. ]

Of course.

[And as he says it he's turning away from the door and going to do just that, which means he's got to find a cup first and that may take a bit because he doesn't exactly know where Amy keeps things like that and he's not thinking of even asking. But hey, after some poking about he finds a cup and is getting the water, which once he's filled the cup to a reasonable amount of fullness? He's going to bring over to Amy.]

Here you go.

[pricklybloom]

[ A part of her thinks that she should maybe tell him where things are, but she's too embarrassed about the whole thing to even say anything. She only finally lifts her head when he stands by her bed, and mustering up a smile she carefully takes the cup from him. ]

Thank you.

[Just enjoy his weird domesticity, Amy. This is probably the only time anyone will see him do this kind of thing, not even Rouge has gotten him to take care of her like this. Sure he's protected her in a fight but that's totally different from this. In fact Maria is probably the only person who has had Shadow semi-fuss over them.

Anyway, once Amy takes the glass he'll just shrug off her thanks.]

You're welcome, anything else?

[pricklybloom]

[ She takes a quick sip of the water, because even though she'd said it on a whim she realizes that she is a bit thirsty. It also gives her a little time to think of what to do now. ]

Ah...no, I think I'm good now. Thanks.

[ Even if she might be a bit lonely, she can't expect him to stick around just to keep her company. Besides, it's just a little bug. It's not so big a deal that he needs to stay with her. ]

[ringsthatbind]

Alright.

[Since she seems to be taken care of for the time being, he is just going to go and leave once more. He's not rushing, again, so if Amy still needs him she has another chance, but if not he'll be taking his leave.]

[pricklybloom]

[ She doesn't stop him this time, and as he heads out she manages a soft "bye". Then, once she's alone, she focuses on her soup and tries to sort her thoughts out.

Her head is still a bit too foggy, though, so instead she finishes her soup and grabs something to read until she probably falls asleep. No use worrying about it for now.

And besides, if she did need anything else, he probably wouldn't mind if she called him. ]
