Valon sat bolt upright. He scrambled to his feet, pulled Alister into a sitting position, and pounded on his back.
"You all roight, mate?" he asked anxiously after the coughs had passed.

Valon sank back against the headboard, heaving a sigh of releif. "Ye had me worried there...hackin' like a saw..."

Valon stood up. "Roighto. Give a hollah if anythin' happens." With that, he trotted downstairs and began to rummage around in the cupboards, acnowledging Dartz with only a curt nod.
All roight, it was 'round here somewhere...
Finally coming across the packets of tea, Valon heated up a mug of water and set one of the bags to steep.
I hope he'll come out o' this all roight...

Alister lay back and coughed again. His throat felt like sandpaper.

Valon took the stairs back up two at a time, with the mug of tea in one hand and sugar and cream in the other.
Carefully, so as not to drop anything, he opened the door and walked in, setting the stuff in his hands on the bedside table. "Didn' know what ya loiked in yer tea, so I brought the stuff fer you ta do it yerself..."

Valon shrugged. "Roight then, I'll take these back down..."
He was back up again in about two minutes. "Did that help any?"

Valon grinned. "Oi told you ollready. We're the underdogs. We stick tagethah, whether we loike each othah or not. The big dogs ain't gonna help us, so we gotta help ourselves--and each othah."

Valon closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. "Not really," he said, so quietly that he wasn't sure Alister heard him, "but you'd kill meh if I told ya the truth..."
