Valon placed the thermometer in Alister's mouth, and went back to digging through his bag. He pulled out a few different bottles of medicine--and grabbed the thermometer when it beeped.
"Zowee!" he exclaimed. "Mate, you got a fevah of a hundred an' two degrees!"

Valon slapped at Alister's hand. "Nope. That's only gonna make things worse."
He grabbed one of the bottles. "Take two a' these. They'll get ya ta sleep, an' help with that fevah."

"V....V.... Valon," Alister rasped, unable to get out the rest.

Valon swore aloud. "Stop tryin' ta talk. If ya gotta say somethin', try writin' it." He pointed to the pad of paper and pen on the bedside table.

As the red head reached for the pad, his hand fell limp as he passed out.

Valon caught Alister's head before it hit the headboard, resting it on the pillow. He swore again, eyes filled with worry.

The red head's cheeks flushed as his fever took complete hold of his body.

Quickly and carefully, Valon pulled off Alister's shirt. He ran to the bathroom, grabbed a washcloth, wet it in ice-cold water, and brought it back. He rubbed it along the redhead's chest, neck, and forehead.

As he continued to wet Alister's skin, Valon tried to remain calm. But inside, he was completely panicking. He'd dealt with fevers before, but nothing this bad--Alister had passed out on him.
Wot'm I supposed ta do? We'd need a doctah ta treat this prope'ly!
But they didn't have a docter. In fact, he himself was the closest thing they had to a doctor.
Get a grip on yeself. It's just a fevah...
But something told him it was much more than that...

A tear slid down Alister's cheek as he opened his eyes slowly. "V....Valon...." he croaked. "I.... I don't think..... I should be this sick.... You've.... You've got to go before you catch it too."

Valon sighed. "Neither 'm I. We're both just Da'tz's grunts--an' as such, we stick tagethah an' help each othah out, no mattah what. I know ya nevah like me much, but I'm gonna help ya get rid a' this bug if it kills me."
