[kilimanjaro]

[It's been a while since Kili's shown his face in public, and as the feed starts, it becomes apparent as to why. The young dwarf is terribly pale, a gleam of sweat shining on his brow and dark shadows beneath bloodshot eyes. He's been ill, very much so, and it's only really now that he's become conscious enough to speak.

Some words are difficult to understand as his voice is mostly gone, and what is understandable is spoken in a rough, croaky tone.]

I will pay for someone to bring me food, and ale if possible. I have coin or I can pay you back in fresh game, once I-- [He's interrupted by a harsh cough.] Once I can hunt again.

[He's half tempted to ask for a healer. He may be getting better, but he still feels awful. His pride rebels against the idea. He's a dwarf, he's strong. He can handle this on his own. It's difficult enough to admit he's too weak to fetch himself food.]

If I could get that soon.

...Could...could you come visit? [His expression is sheepish but hopeful.] Thorin's out somewhere.

Dude! Dude, where are you, you look totally awful! I'l be right there, I've got food and spaghetti and crackers and soup and tea--

[Video]

[knightofcourage]

I can bring you something right now!

["You look like you need it" is unspoken, but the words are hanging there.]

[subtlecoruscate]

…wouldn't medicine be more helpful…?

[Than ale anyway…]

I'd suggest antibiotics in addition to the food and drink. [ he looks awful. ]

Speaking of, what kind of food do you want?

[ladyofrivendell]

Of course, I'd be happy to.

[Especially with him looking so ill.]

[video]

[ainsophaured]

I can bring you food I have. No payment would be necessary.

[Which really is just like canned soup, but given how Kili looks right now that may be just what he needs. It looks like a couple people have that covered too, including Emil, so he should be fine on that end.]

Have you gone to the doctor?

[freewoman]

I know not where your uncle is, but I've somethin' for you.

[beardedflannel]

You look like you could use antibiotics more than you could food and booze.

[ Joel knows that that's like, feeling the way Kili looks. He still has some antibiotics left should Kili really need them. Although there's the sparkly magic that had helped heal him that could work just as good if not better. ]

[Woah, that's a little too much enthusiasm and words he doesn't understand for the ill dwarf.]

What is spaghetti?

[Video]

[kilimanjaro]

[He gives a short nod and turns his head to the side to cough again.] It would be appreciated.

[Video]

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili lifts his shoulders in a brief shrug.] I'm getting better without any of that.

[kilimanjaro]

[Oh hey, it's that one girl who's name he can't remember.]

Anti -- [That word is way too hard to say.] What?

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili looks rather relieved to hear that, and a small smile curves his lips upwards.] Thank you.

[video]

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili shifts a little at that.] I would...be uncomfortable with accepting something without payment. [He turns his head aside to cough a few times before focusing back on Aster.]

I haven't gone anywhere, I've been bedridden since we got back from the beach. [His tone is bitter and frustrated. It's difficult for an energetic young dwarf to stay still!]

voice;

[kilimanjaro]

He will be back, I'm sure. [Kili stifles a yawn.] He's been caring for me.

[He's interrupted by yet another cough, looking annoyed at it.] If you wouldn't mind bringing it by...I'm not supposed to be out of bed yet.

[kilimanjaro]

What are...the things you just said? [He's embarrassed to ask, but how else is he going to find out.] 'Sides, no better cure than strong drink. It's what Dwalin says.

You're welcome, Kili. I won't be long.

[She really won't be either. Ten minutes, tops.]

[kilimanjaro]

[Celebrian you are literally the best.] I'm at Thorin's apartment.

[ladyofrivendell]

[She tries!]

Which one is that? I've not visited Thorin at all.

It's ah... [Just a minute, he has to think.] 404.

[freewoman]

You are ill?

[ladyofrivendell]

Oh! Just a floor beneath my own.

[So five minutes then. Not even.]

voice;

[kilimanjaro]

[There's a moment of hesitation.] Aye.

[kilimanjaro]

I'll see you soon, then. [He smiles a bit shyly.]

[She nods and gives him a smile before flicking her tablet off. Not even five minutes later, there's a light knock at his door.]
