Who the hell'd go on a run in the snow?

[ Although he has to pause, because he...does know somebody who would. But that gets shaken off quickly before it can linger a bit too long. ]

I went out to eat. [ A shuffle of his feet. ] Not that it's your business.

[justscribing]

It's not, but you standing in the way is. And if you start spreading an illness, that'll also become my business.

[ Oh, for-

Shinjiro steps out of the way. ]

Fine. Now I'm outta your way. [ He tugs his jacket collar up just a bit further. ] And I'm heading back to my room with my illness in tow, so you don't have anything to worry about.

[Well he's out of the way. Alhaitham starts forward, though he's definitely looking at Shinjiro as he gets closer.

Hm.] Standard cold symptoms aren't associated with the disease, but you should still have someone keep an eye on you in case you start exhibiting a loss of reality or heightened aggression.

[Or fur.]

[ Shinjiro...doesn't quite like that scrutinizing gaze, and his eyes do narrow at the suggestion. ]

What, you think I'm gonna lose my marbles or something?

[ There's a pause, brief, before his shoulders sag. ]

...Guess I can't blame you for being cautious, though. [ Even he knows that much. ] It's not a bad idea.

[justscribing]

We have no idea how far the risk extends to us. You'd prefer treatment before turning into a monstrosity yourself, wouldn't you?

[...] Although if it is a normal cold you should still look for medication in the infirmary and rest.

[ There's a moment there where Shinjiro goes quiet, although probably not for the reason Alhaitham thinks. Hits a little too close to home, there. ]

...Yeah. [ His gaze is directed at the wall. ] I would.

[ Shrug. ]

I already got some. I'm used to this, anyway.

[Alhaitham just assumes it's because what they saw from Yuki was horrific. Nobody wants to end up like that.]

Ah. Poor constitution?
