Rubes woke with a fever that morning, so she went straight up to the main deck, holding her two twins, and looking for Emma. Her throat was hurting, she had nearly lost her voice already, and she had a terrible headache. She spotted the woman and slowly meandered towards her, her eyes tired and not nearly so alert as usual. Perhaps she had gotten her fever from Jay, Rubes had heard he was sick. Emma? she croaked, her throat sore.
((dagger, you RP with Livi, and anyone else can join, too.))

Emma turned to face Ruby, her face was pale and her cheeks were flushed. "Your sick, please give me the children."she replied at once, she was not going to let the fever get to the twins.

Rubes silently handed over the twins, trying not to breathe on them. Emma seemed to have the same worries that Ruby did; if the twins got sick, it would be harder for them, as infants, to recover. But Rube had little choice in the matter, who else would take care of the twins? Dagger was captain, Cody already busy with extra tasks, and Jay never stopped doing various duties as lietenant. Roxy was an option, but was a thirteen year old girl really able to care for two babies? I'll see if Roxy will care for them for today. Excuse me for a moment Rubes said, ignoring a small voice that asked What about tonight and tomorrow? and let herself into the Hold. Roxy? she asked as she approached the girl. Could you take care of Violet and Livi for a while? Emma's going to give me a checkup; I'm sick. I don't want to infect them.

Roxy turned around and saw Ruby sicker than ever. "Yes of course I will!" Roxy said and grabbed the twins from Ruby. "I will take very good care of them!I promise" Roxy assured her. "You should go lie down or go see Emmalina. Hope you feel better" Roxy said to Ruby. Roxy looked at the twins as she held them in her arms.
((By the by Roxy is 14, now. jeeze))

Thank you. Rubes returned, coughing into her sleeve so she wouldn't infect others. I appreciate it. She looked to Emma, wondering what to do. Was there an examination room of some sort? Rubes didn't know.

"Anytime" Roxy said. And walked away to go set the kids down and play with them.
((I cant say what they are doing....so my post will be short))

Emma looked Ruby over again and sighed. "Come with me," she said quietly. "You need to get better." Emma started to go towards her room ((I don't know if she has a place for sick or just her bedroom)).

((There are several cots in Emma's room for the sick, so she can watch over them more easily))
"Fresh water." Jay said, appearing out of no where, as he often did, and handing a bucket of water to Emma. He disappeared into a doorway, then came out a second later. "Cloth." He draped the cloth over Emma's shoulder. "Take care, Ruby. Don't get sick, Em." He blinked at Emma fondly for a moment, then turned and disappeared below deck to talk with the navigator.
((Jay's so awesome xDD! ))

Emma was started from her thoughts of where she had put her tea pot when Jay appeared next to her. She tried to say thank you but all she could do was blush and accept the supplies. After Jay left she cleared her throat and started walking again, "So yes, right this way." she said as she passed into her room.

Leon rushed into Emmalina's room. What's going on? Why didn't anyone tell me Ruby was sick? He shouted as he burst through the door in panic. He took a deep breath and composed himself somewhat, waiting for an answer.

Rubes looked up from her cot, startled, but too tired and sick to be anything besided calm. She was only wearing her under-things beneath a soft, warm blanket... she had been sweating and hot just a few minutes ago, but was freezing now, shivering. I'm fine. she croaked, smiling weakly. Or I will be soon, at least. Just fever, and some hallucinations. I'm not contagious though, come sit with me. she said, extending her hand to him. She bit her lip for a moment as she lied, the sickness was worse than she revealed, but she didn't want to worry the dear captain.

Leon breathed a sigh of relief but glanced over at Emma for confirmation on the "fine" statement. He sat beside her, all previous quarrels forgotten as he worry for his love took over.

Emma was too busy to notice the Captains glance her way. She was too busy creating her tea. As she crushed a few herbs, she gently placed the bucket of water and cloth she had in the man's arms. "Do me a favor and keep that near Ruby, if she gets hot, soak the rag and pat her face and such. I'll be back, I must go to get some hot water."

Leon gave a nod and watched Emma leave. ((heh)) He then took Ruby's hand and stroked it softly.

Rubes smiled softly, her eyes sunken but revealing her elation at having the captain near her. How are you? she asked softly, entwining her fingers with his, wanting to kiss him but afraid to get him sick. As she asked, a wave of heat hit her, the chill long gone. She sat up, leaning against the wall and flinging the covers off her with a kick of her feet. She sat there, closing her eyes as she waited for his reply, in her pink underclothes. She felt neither embarrassed or exposed in front of the father of her beautiful children, but pulled a long shirt over herself, it's length going nearly to her mid-thigh.
