Huh. She nods thoughtfully, then remembers that body language might be alien and writes out 'I probably understand. Humans don't have-' She erases that last bit and replaces it with, 'Very big not do thing symbol uncertainty?'

...She yawns and shakes her head and looks towards the guest room she used before unconsciously.

He shows her the symbol for 'taboo' and waves her off to bed.

Drone, away. Wanda, on bed. When she takes out her Valkyrie Core in the safety of the guest room, pain and exhaustion hits her like a crashing wave and she's out like a lightbulb.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

She wakes up feeling even worse somehow. And the medical bracelet assures her it will get worse before it gets better, and complains that she needs food and a HOSPITAL and DIALYSIS, but in two more days she might be stable? And only because VK users have all sorts of nonsense that makes them healthier going on. This is less optimistic than it thought yesterday. Greaaaaat.

She doesn't come out of the bed until she manages to badger the thing into giving her a (small, reluctant) dose of narcotic painkillers despite her age. She needs a shower. And coffee. And her big fluffy bed. And network connectivity. And Lizzy to pat her on the back and hug her. First two might be on the menu, at least. Third one with some work.

She blearily looks around Riverwalker's house some indeterminate amount of sleeping later, Valkyrie Core held defensively close to herself but not activated.

There's a tray of food by her bed again, and a note, presumably from pebbleclinker, explaining the territoriality; she gives slightly more detail, but the upshot is the same as what riverwalker explained earlier. Riverwalker is sitting at one of the benches on the other side of the room, engrossed in something, with a dog sleeping at his feet; he hasn't noticed that she's up.

Okay first thing, bathroom and washing her face and hands just to feel slightly more awake. (Ugh.) Second thing... Back to the bed to eat, or to eat at the table? She's fuzzy brained enough that this conundrum results in her standing there by the bathroom a bit blankly.

Riverwalker notices her after a minute: he thinks she should eat, if she's hungry; she can have that seat at the table there.

Nodnod. A weak smile.

She doesn't have the drone out right now, and getting it out would require integrating, so... No. What's for breakfast? Regardless of the answer she eats quietly.

...Oh wait. She has the med bracelet. It has a sketchpad... Thing. For diagrams or something. It's a much smaller canvas but big enough to write 'More sick'.

Yeah, she looks it. Fortunately the community healer is already on their way over, they were curious about her when he mentioned her on the network. Dogrunner will be stopping by with their nice walking tent for her to borrow, too; she doesn't have to move to it, it might not be a good idea if she's unwell, but it'll be good to have the option when she's ready.

He caught some fish last night; does she want some with her breakfast?

Well she needs protein. "Yes..." Though she doesn't look entirely happy about it.

(She wants to offer to pay him back again but didn't he tell her not to bother yesterday, because she's a guest? It'd be weird to keep bringing it up.)

There's eggs or leftover dove if she'd rather; he's sure someone will have some deer to share but nobody's offered yet, maybe by dinnertime.

Eggs, thanks (emphasis), she writes. Red guest, thanks, that too.

Eggs it is, then. (The dog, a big fluffy black thing, wakes up when he stands, and comes over to sniff at her.) And it continues not to be a big deal that she's visiting - maybe it's less a done thing where she's from? What else would someone do when they're sick or injured and can't care of themself, he wonders rhetorically.

A proper response to this would take up too much space but she can write, Some community negation(like strangers)

She will pet the dog.

The dog appreciates the petting.

Riverwalker thinks that worrying about strangers like that sounds stressful; maybe they have a way of doing it that works for them, but it doesn't sound appealing at all to him. Or make much sense; she's been a perfectly reasonable guest, even with the rough patch yesterday.

Agreement. Some human negation(taboo) different taboo.

Sigh.

Well, he'd feel pretty weird about it if he didn't help her out, so she doesn't need to worry.

And here's some scrambled eggs.

Does she want anything else today, or just to rest?

Eggs, yum. As much as she wants coffee, med bracelet is telling her 'no'.

Thanks. Rest.

All right. He found instructions on the network for a simplified connection gadget that'll let her call him back if she needs anything, he's putting that together now and he'll make sure she has it before he goes anywhere other than just right by the house.

Thank you.

Red do helpful thing when not sick uncertainty?
