4th step [Visual]

[rabbitheartedfox]

[Here's a face that hasn't been seen around lately, the unicorn looks a little worse for wear though as she sits up in bed.]

Hi everyone, I'm been sick but I'm feeling better now but Skyfire doesn't believe me and wants me to stay in bed. Can someone tell him to let me out?

[What little Mani doesn't know however, is that Skyfire is standing right behind her and is shaking his head a little.]

You still have a fever. Back into bed with you princess.

[Mani 'eeps' eyes growing wide as she looks over her shoulder at the dragon.]

I said you could go out when your fever clears, if you rest, that should be tomorrow.

[He'll start herding her back to her bed, but he's not taking the scroll from her. There are toys and books all around her bed. Clearly someone was spoiled a little while she was sick. ]

You can keep the scroll, as long as you rest. No more trying to get out. You don't want to make yourself sick again.

[Remember this mare from when you first showed up? Well, she's back again.]

Just because y'feel better doesn't mean you're all the way better. If you've got a fever still, 'at means whatever you were sick with is still fightin' to make you sick again. You push yourself too hard, and it will.

Hate t'say it, kid, but your dragon's right.

[rabbitheartedfox]

But... I'm missing so much stuff. Like the sky and the town and the grass, all the smells outside and...stuff.

[Sorry little miss perky is feeling pretty whiny today. But at least she knows to appreciate the little things? ]

[vis]

[stormbroken]

They'll still be there later.

[vis]

[rabbitheartedfox]

Are you sure? What if I wake up in my room back home? [They didn't let her go outside like Skyfire did!]

[vis]

[stormbroken]

...then you won't remember me sayin' this, from everything I've heard.

Or anything about any of it.

[That part of what Marty had said to her wouldn't stop worrying her, admittedly...]

[vis]

[rabbitheartedfox]

[Oops, that was the wrong thing to say.]

I won't remember?! B-but I don't want to forget!

I think the dragon's right. Just one extra day of rest won't hurt? Perhaps I can come over so we can talk over tea?

[Text message hidden from Mani]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Please feel free to stop by and visit. If it keeps her in bed, I'll even supply the tea and some treats.

[Skyfire loves Mani like a daughter, but he's close to tying her to the bed to make sure she stays put...]

[Text]

[bustadecapinyoass]

I'd be glad to stop by. Thanks for providing the food and treats. I'll be on my way. Where are you right now?

[Text]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

I think she'll like that. She's not contagious anymore, but going outside today probably isn't a good idea.

[Skyfire sends over a map of where the cave is and how to get there without going near the Everfree Forest.]

I think that should get you over here.

[Text] -> [Action]

[bustadecapinyoass]

I'll be there as soon as possible.

[With that, Mami closes the scroll and starts heading over to the cave. It takes her a little while to get there. Once she's there, she calls out.]

Hello?

[Text] -> [Action]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[Skyfire put the scroll away, and then went to pull out a table and some cushions so that Mami can be comfortable visiting with Mani. He's just putting out the tea and goodies when he hears her at the door and comes to greet her.]

Hello! I hope the map was alright?

[Well, he's a massive dragon at thirty feet or so, but he's still friendly and has a kind voice.]

I just finished setting things out, Mani will be glad to see you.

[Visual]

[rabbitheartedfox]

Awww, [Mani whines until the new unicorn offers to come over, then her ears perk up.]

Really? I'd like that... oh but Skyfire said I shouldn't invite strangers over any more...

[Someone was dumb enough to issue an open invitation once, Skyfire was not impressed.]

[visual]

[millionbitpipes]

Listen to the dragon, kid. You don't wanna push yourself when you're sick, or you'll just get worse.

[visual]

[rabbitheartedfox]

But I don't want to be stuck in one room all the time again.

Re: [visual]

[millionbitpipes]

[Again?]

It's just until you're feelin' better. Give it a few days' rest, kid.

[visual]

[rabbitheartedfox]

[The down side of living in a controlled environment, the upside was that she never got sick there.]

But Skyfire said it would only be a few days a few days ago.

[visual]

[millionbitpipes]

Yeah, but you're still sick.

[visual]

[rabbitheartedfox]

I don't like being sick, how long does it normally take?

[Skyfire's esimate was clearly wrong, maybe Harvey's would be better.]

[got_style]

He's tellin' the truth, hun. Trust me on this, I'm a doctor.

[An evil doctor, but that still counts.]

[rabbitheartedfox]

You're a doctor? The kind that fixes people?

[got_style]

Sort of. But I do know that too much runnin' around is only gonna make you feel worse.

[rabbitheartedfox]

[Mani sighs.]

That's what everyone's saying but... I don't have anything to do.

[got_style]

Can't you make your own entertainment? What sort of things do you do for fun?

[rabbitheartedfox]

Skyfire gave me some books but reading them too much makes my head hurt. [And yet the child still wanted to go outside.]
