"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

best friend forever

[poised]

Well that's even more reason why I can't say that he is my new bff.

That's your role.

text

[flaredo]

okay then he can be your bft

best friend temporarily

text

[poised]

Moving from stranger to best friend? Isn't that a little fast even for you, Yang?

text

[flaredo]

It didn't take long for us, did it?

text

[poised]

[Well no, but she thinks there's one important distinction to be made here:]

I at least met you in person first, Yang.

Speaking of which, you have a fairly strong immune system, don't you?

[natalia that doesn't make a lot of sense out of context]

[flaredo]

what does my immune system have to do with it?

text

[poised]

[oh right--]

I have unfortunately become ill with a common cold.

I am also out of soup.

[do you follow]

text

[flaredo]

[ Friendship. Thankfully, soup isn't hard to whip up, and Yang will show up within an hour, clutching a plastic container that looks to be filled with chicken broth. ]

Souperintendant, checking in!

[ More people need to smack her. ]

action;

[poised]

[Yang is honestly the only one that Natalia doesn't bother to clean the apartment for. Rather, she's still on the couch with about 11 pillows and three blankets. No judgment allowed here.

Except--]

I'm already ill and you assault me with puns.....

[a sniff]

action;

[flaredo]

Didn't you know, laughter's the best medicine?

[ Cheerfully bringing the container over and setting it on the coffee table. ]

Arise, Your Highness. You can languish after you eat something.

action;

[poised]

[So cheerful... Yang for best nurse tbh. Natalia just laughs faintly at that even as she sits up and pulls a blanket over her shoulders like a shall.

Then she coughs a bit but it's fine.]

Giving orders to royalty? My, what a world you must live in.

action;

[flaredo]

Before you're a royal anything, you're my friend. Rank doesn't really matter when your nose is leaking, right?

action;

[poised]

[SHE GASPS] Is it truly?!

[Okay no, she's fetching a tissue to wipe at her nose then, sniffing unhappily.]

Oh goodness, how troublesome!

action;

[flaredo]

Have you never had a cold before? It'll be doing that for probably the rest of the day.

[ Here, your container. ]

action;

[poised]

Of course I have.... but I didn't think that it would be so bad to call it 'leaking'.....

[Another unhappy sniff before she dabs at her nose again and accepts the container.]

Thank you....

action;

[flaredo]

Hate to say it, Nat, but no one looks good with a head cold. I still love you, though!

[ Cheerily stated, but she'll look out for you, bestie. ]

action;

[poised]

I'm starting to think you'd say that even if my skin turned blue....

[But she at least looks fond as she begins to enjoy the soup, humming her appreciation.]

action;

[flaredo]

Blue's a very pretty color.

[ Straight-faced. ]

action;

[poised]

Also reminiscent of frostbite.

[Eating her soup so nonchalantly....]

action;

[flaredo]

And that one actor's eyes! You know, the one in the latest movie--

action;

[poised]

[how does she know exactly who Yang's talking about, best friend telepathy maybe]

Oh.... You're right! That is a rather beautiful blue, isn't it?

[A wistful sigh before she enjoys more soup.]

action;

[flaredo]

No guy should have eyes that pretty... [ With a grumble, settling down besides her sickie of a best friend. ]
