[ He will use the guns against her at every opportunity!! ]

Ali...

[ There's a small sigh accompanying the way he says her name, a quiet exasperation in it, though he can't exactly argue. He would be the same way, were their positions reversed, even if he wouldn't be useful in finding a cure. He could at least try to ease the burdens of others, and he's...be trying to do that, even while he's been sick.

That's what he's trying to do right now, too, in encouraging her to take it easy, though he knows this won't be a battle he can win. ]

Hey, c'mon. It's just a little flu. I'm sure in a week it'll clear out like nothin' happened! [ flash forward a week to him going blind and having an emotional breakdown on her ] You'll at least chill in my pillow mansion for awhile, right?

[ She does look pretty sleepy...maybe he can try to trick her into napping!! Heheh, the perfect crime... ]
