He tries to get out of bed, fails. 

"If I'm still ill tomorrow I will require assistance in contacting a doctor."

Permalink

"I can do that. Try to get some rest."

Permalink

He mutters something about Landru and falls asleep.

Permalink

Well, it's a temporary solution, anyway. 

She fills the house with food, stops by his work to tell them that her husband is too ill to come in today, and then heads off to her work.

At the end of the day she comes home and checks on him.

Permalink

"I can't see," he tells her blearily.

Permalink

"That sounds serious."

Permalink

"You should get a doctor."

Permalink

"I'll do that. Do you need anything else first?"

Permalink

"No."

Permalink

(Terrible person! Terrible person!)

She goes to ask the landlord where the doctor is. He gives her an address, and she goes to it and explains that her husband is ill.

They send two people back with her. The doctor examines him and asks him when he started feeling ill.

Permalink

He can provide basic information about his illness.

Permalink

They don't recognize the illness. She thinks this is unusual but it's kind of hard to tell.

They instruct him to drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest and wait for a specialist to come in the morning.

Permalink

He can do that.

Permalink

The doctors leave. 

She gets him dinner and a glass of water.

Permalink

And he eats a little bit and then sleeps. Whimpers miserably in his sleep.

Permalink

She casts lesser restoration on him. It won't cure him but it should undo some of the damage. 

Permalink

Then he'll sleep a little bit more soundly.

Permalink

This is not really sustainable for very much longer but she doesn't really know what else to do.

She prays and then sleeps on the couch. In the morning she makes more food.

Permalink

- she hears a soft, shocked sound from behind her.

Permalink

She turns around and does not succeed at looking vacantly content at all.

Permalink

He still looks terrible but he's on his feet and blinking blearily at her out of one eye. He keeps looking at the food, then back at her.

 

 

"You're not of the Body," he says hoarsely.

Permalink

 

"Why would you say that?"

Permalink

He takes a step back and leans against the wall. "You're not of the Body," he repeats.

Permalink

"You're confused. And very sick. You need to go back to bed."

Permalink

"Landru!" he says weakly.

 

There are voices outside. Someone knocks on the door.
