Four Bells: [Voice] Somewhat Unwell

[simplestgift]

Doctor McCoy?

[It's Kennedy, and he sounds awful.  It's been a couple of days since he's left his room or contacted anyone over the journals.]

Are you in the clinic at the moment? Fever and aches aren't as much to my liking as I'd first thought. If I die before I make it there, please make sure Captain Jack stays out of my things until I return.

...Archie?

[ a whisper, in case he fell asleep suddenly. ]

[simplestgift]

Oh! Yes. Yes, I agree. [She knows a bit what it's like to be pressed into service, of course, except for being forced to leave her family and travel with a lot of dirty, smelly sailors.]

...Maybe I should be letting you sleep.

The doctor should be coming soon. [Blankets rustle.] It was good to hear from you.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

Right back at you. Keep me updated, okay?

[ voice ]

[simplestgift]

I swear to it.

Get well soon, Mister Kennedy.
