Will we meet for dinner in elysium, my dear(Ami and Natsume)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shakes her head. "Did I...see..." she mumbles to herself, shivering and only barely acknowledging Eudial as she slows and stops, staring down the hall, a distant part of her mind trying to get her to pick up her feet and begin following Eudial again...

[Anastasia]

Eudial blinks, but shivers then. "Uh...why don't I just go ahead while you sort whatever it is that's got your attention out," she ventures, nervous now at your strange and abrupt shift.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami looks up and blinks at Eudial as though just remembering she's there. "I...Uhm...Eudial?" Ami asks nervously, no longer certain about ANY of her conclusions anymore. "Can...Can you wait here? I thought I saw..."

Ami swallows nervously. "Or...maybe I'm overreacting...It's been a strange few days..."

[Anastasia]

"Sure, I can wait here," Eudial says calming down. "You look like you've seen a ghost, anyway."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles weakly and nods. "Thank you..." she murmurs. "I hope I'm just imagining things, but...I'll be right back."

So saying, she hurries off down the hall, in the direction of the classroom she saw Tellu...That WAS Tellu, right? Enter into...

[Anastasia]

It's a quiet, small lecture hall you enter into. Dim with only some light from the shuttered windows illuminating things, you don't see any sign of green from inside. Though, you'd have go inside more to see, and there's a little door on the side to another room. Perhaps a closet, or a small teacher's ready room.

[Bean Bandit]

Something about this situation makes the hairs on the back of Ami's neck stand on end. "Tellu-chan?" she calls tentatively, shyly proceeding into the room.

Glancing around the room, she nervously examines her surroundings. I thought...but she...Not where she told me to meet her...DID she tell me to meet her? Why did I feel so compelled, if it WAS a dream?

Ami hestiates, listening for some sort of response, a shuffling of feet, ANYTHING in response to her call before she heads to the other door.

[Anastasia]

The room is strangely quiet as you squint, then blink. Uh...what? For a moment, you could swear you got a nasty bit of light shone in your eyes, almost like a reflection for something. Perhaps a bit of light from the window

As you clear your eyes, "Ami-chan..." Tellu says, her voice soft. It's from behind the teacher's desk. A cough sounds a moment later.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami turns toward the sound of Tellu's voice, blinking away the momentary sparkles from her eyes adjusting themselves.

How could that happen in the dark?

"T-Tellu-chan?" Ami whispers, not liking the sound of the cough at all, and suddenly very nervous. "I-I came to the greenhouse, but you weren't..."

[Anastasia]

"I know...just come here, Ami-chan," she manages, coughing twice after that, hacking sounds that probably rock her unseen body. "I....help me..."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami's eyes widen, and she hurries to the Teacher's desk, looking behind it for the Green haired girl. "What's wrong?" she asks, almost afraid of the answer. "What happened?"

[Anastasia]

Tellu is curled up beneath it, wearing her normal lab coat outfit. "Uhhh...." she reaches out to you, one hand. "Take my hand, Ami-chan...*cough*"

"I need your help..."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami doesn't hesitate, and her ealier misgivings all but forgotten as she grabs Tellu's hand, genuinely afraid for her friend. "Of course, but maybe you shouldn't move..." she begins, crouching down to examine the older girl as she takes her hand.

[Anastasia]

She's cool to the touch, a bad sign right there.

Perhaps.

She raises slightly, wrapping her arms around you. "Oh, Ami..." she whispers. "Just stay with me here a little while, okay? It'll make me feel better."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blushes as Tellu wraps her arms around her. "I-I'll stay with you right now..." Ami begins, and gently touches Tellu's neck, feeling for her pulse. "But you need a doctor...or at least to have the professor look at you...your temperature is really low."  Ami tells Tellu anxiously. "Do you want me to take you to the greenhouse?" she asks, concern written all over her face. "It's warmer there..."

Painfully so, but Tellu seems to thrive on it.
