[open] you can lead a sick horse to water
Who: Konoha and YOU
Where: around the Temple
When: 8/28 - 9/20
Rating PG???
What: catch all log for hanging with a centaur before or after the sick sets in
01 | GARDENING | 8/28
[What Konoha really wanted to do was to go home. But she knows... She has to make the most of her situation. Has to try and stay positive the best she can. So, like she'd talked about with Nier... a garden seemed like a good idea. With the plants withering like they were planting didn't actually seem like it would work, but at least she could get the field ready? It seemed like something to do, at least, and hard labor is what Konoha did best.
So she gets to work. In the first few days she can be found out near the woods, sleeves tied back and a cloth wrapped around her forehead to keep sweat out of her eyes as she starts prepping the dirt. Digging out stones, ripping up dead roots, cutting away weeds, dragging a makeshift plow behind her to till the soil...
At the sight of anyone from the Circle, however, she takes a moment to give a friendly wave.]
02 | BATHHOUSE | 8/30
[All the plowing she's been doing works up a sweat, and it wasn't often she had the luxury of a bath big enough for jinba that wasn't... wading into the river. Not that there's anything wrong with rivers, but. The bathhouse at the temple is more luxurious than she's ever really tried before, and it's so comfortably hot???
She could be mistaken for a human woman at first glance, with all the steam, but the dark shadow in the water reveals her more equine half. That and the long black tail floating towards the top of the water. Sighing happily and resisting the urge to try and roll, Konoha lets her hair down from it's usual bun and sets about running her fingers through it to try and untangle it as she sinks a bit deeper into the water.]
Ah... This is nice.
03 | HELPING THE SICK | 9/5
[Konoha has never gotten sick when her parents or the other humans in the village had. She didn't really hear a lot about jinba getting sick at all, really... So she thinks it will be fine. She doesn't have enough education to know that this might be because, as similar as her upper body looks, a jinba and a human are different species, and not all sickness can cross those differences... She just knows that she's probably fine.
So she tries to help.]
Morning... I brought breakfast.
[She pokes her head in the door of one of the bedrooms in the Temple, smiling through the concern on her features and a steaming bowl of what looks like porridge in her hands.]
Feeling up to eating?
04 | KITCHEN STUMBLE | 9/12
[Fun fact for anyone studying this outbreak... Species doesn't matter. Jinba get sick, too.
She's been feeling tired, but... She's also been working hard as more and more people got sick. Hasn't really been sleeping well. The low fever, that... had been more concerning, but what could she do about it? She did tell someone, she wasn't trying to hide anything-
But she also didn't expect it to take a turn so fast. To be so clumsy as to catch a hoof on a stone, to send the basket of apples she'd been carrying rolling across the floor and her sprawling right after with a crash as her attempt to catch herself failed and only managed to knock cutlery off the counter.
She'll get up... She will. In a minute. Meanwhile, a lone apple rolls out the kitchen door.]
05 | HUMPTY DUMPTY | 9/17
[It's so hot. She knows it has to be because of the fever, knows she's supposed to sweat it out... but she still can't help the urge, anxiously twisting where she lies on the ground in her temple room to try and undo the bear hide wrap she wears tied about her waist, try and loosen the fit of her shirt as sweat beads on her dark skin.
Sometime in the last night... She's lost the strength to stand. Had gradually collapsed to her knees, then to her belly, and then to her side. She forgets how long ago. Long enough for the pillow she'd taken with her to soak with sweat, for her throat to parch and her stomachs to twist in protest, both starving for food and roiling to reject it.
The sound of a visitor... doesn't even really register.]

no subject
[For some reason the idea of him using his big metal foot to kick people like literally in the butt is very amusing to her fever brain, and she kind of... stutters into a small laugh.]
Are we going to get drunk instead of fighting? That sounds good to me... I don't think any wine here is strong enough for a jinba, but we can try...
[Maybe post sickness.]
no subject
I mean, we can, but I'm thinking that right now it might be better for you to get some rest. I promise I won't steal all the wine until then, scout's honor.
[He motions with his cup towards Konoha.]
Tea first, then some downtime, and then we'll try to get you drunk, okay?
no subject
... yeah, I guess that's a good idea.
[Tea first... so. She moves to finish her drink.]
I'll just... take a nap.
no subject
I promise. You, me, everyone, we'll get real roaring drunk and have a good time. Right now though? [He pauses.] Right now you look like you've been working too hard, so yeah, nap. Naps are great. And you let people know if you need anything, yeah?
no subject
[Was that a rude question? She doesn't know anymore... He eats, so he probably naps, right?
Tea finished, Konoha struggles back onto all four feet, swaying a moment before she gets her balance corrected.]
I will, I will...
no subject
Yeah. Yeah we nap.
[Best not to get into any of that right now. It's better for him to reach out to try to offer an arm so that she can steady herself.]
Come on now, easy, easy-
no subject
Let's take a nap, then... Just a little while...
[The courtyard seemed nice and sunny, but... Okay... maybe her room was better... And not because she was feeling sick or anything...]
no subject
[He's not good at the comfort thing, it isn't something that he was made for, but there's something that tugs at his circuits seeing her so down like this. She's a good kid, this was...okay it was worrying. He pushes the thoughts out of mind, however, and lets himself take as much of her weight as she's willing to give.]
You got a room around here? Or should we just crash someone's pad?
[It's only a little bit of a joke.]
no subject
But she does... still kind of lean on him. Mostly for balance.]
Of course I have a room... Don't you have a room... ?
[A bit too feverish for jokes to land, Konoha answers... way too seriously, pointing vaguely towards the living quarters.]
no subject
'course I do. Real homey, a guy's gotta have a place to relax. Little bit cramped, but if you want we can crash there. Up to you.
no subject
[The scandal, Cayde???? An unwed centaur and robot man???
So she sways her way down the hall towards her room instead, gesturing somewhat weakly again at the door.]
This is me...
no subject
[Okay, well maybe this isn't the sort of thing that he'd want anyone to get the wrong idea about, so she does have a point. Still, he reaches out to open the door and usher her in.]
Easy does it, almost there. ...really dumb question, but do you have a bed or anything?
[Now isn't the time for weird questions, Cayde.]
no subject
Well, i have one... it came with the room... but it was too tall...
[As opening the door will reveal... she's dragged the mattress and blankets onto the floor.]
I sleep standing up half the time anyway so it's fine...
