[It sucked, Shinji. It sucked so bad.
However, he supposes he can't blame Shinjiro for being reluctant to reach out. Not everyone has close connections to another in this place- someone they can be vulnerable enough with to ask for help when ill.]
Well, I am happy to set aside mine own plans to assist thee this morning.
[Ginger tea it is! He'll start on it right away.]
Hast thou been dealing with this since the start of the week...?
[ His first foray before he'd managed to get his gloves and scarf has been...less than ideal. He's of the personal opinion the sitting room might need a heater, or ye olde fireplace.
Unfortunately, it doesn't really matter where he is; he could be back at the dorm with Akihiko and Mitsuru a few doors away, and he'd still probably not reach out unless poked. ]
A guy with a lot of free time on your hands, huh. [ A bar stool is slid onto. Shinjiro was going to pick a booth at the edge of the room, but it's warmer here under the lights, and he's already been caught. ] Pretty much. The sudden drop in temperature didn't do me any favors.
[ ...Plus, he hadn't been deteriorated this bad last winter. He'd knew it'd be nasty, but... ]
Unfortunately, there is only so much to be done outside of investigating.
[So, yeah. He's got a lot of free time. Sometimes way too much. At least the books keep him busy enough.]
'Twas indeed a stark drop. I, too, was ill-prepared. Thancred did find me trudging through the snow for some proper winter clothing. 'Twas a blessing that I did not also fall ill.

At least the story makes it easy to pretend it didn't happen. ]
Waters did? [ Always where someone needs him, apparently. ] I'm more surprised you didn't freeze in that get-up. You must have some stupid luck.
