[The Doctor is towards the bad of the lab. He looks up from his microscope when Jack comes in.] ...what's all that? [He's noticeably worse. He looks like - well, he looks like someone who's fever has shot up and is exhausted and is working as hard as he can, anyway.]

Computer equipment so we can set up a link to Koschei in a bit. Water. Juice. Tea. [He's unloading it in a damn hurry so he can get to the Doctor though, and take him by the arm and lead him (hopefully) back to a bed so he can sit down.] Is there something you can take for your fever? Have you taken anything, yet?

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

[He stares at the hand on his arm in seeming confusion.] Anti-viral, yes. Anti-febrile, no. It's not pleasant, but the fever is a defense mechanism.

[jackcaptainjack.livejournal.com]

And means that your immune system is trying to fight it. Right. Come sit down and drink something, please? [Very, very gently. And he does, appropriately, feel a bit whiplashed and is working just a bit for that.]

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

[He mumbles as he sits.] At least that one is kicking in.

Ah, juice sounds good, please. How's everyone?

[jackcaptainjack.livejournal.com]

Thank you. [He leaves the Doctor and goes to pick up one of the containers of juice, and shakes it hard before opening it and handing it to the Doctor.] Amy and Rory are worried, but seem to be okay. Lester gave me a coloring book and crayons to give to you. He'd like it back when you've colored in it. Koschei's enraged with me. Pretty good on all counts, I think.

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

[He brightens for a second.] Ooh, coloring - wait, how enraged?

[jackcaptainjack.livejournal.com]

I thought that might go over well.

[He goes to the box of computer equipment and fishes out the coloring book and box of crayons and lays them down beside the Doctor, on the table. There's something heart-breakingly sweet about the brightening.]

Verbally. Snarling, snide and short, but he's not out of control or violent. He's just really pissed.; it's a good thing.

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

[He thinks, sipping his juice, then nods.] Better than passive. Speaking of - I need you to get a blood sample from him. I imagine he'll be some kind of pain in the neck about it.

[jackcaptainjack.livejournal.com]

Much better than passive. Let me get the computer set up here and then I'll go get it while you wait for his call. Don't defend me to him, for any reason, though. Please.

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

If it's him transferring his frustration to me you're worried about, well, I think that's likely anyway and I can handle it.

[jackcaptainjack.livejournal.com]

I don't want you getting more crap than we can avoid from anywhere, or him feeling more ganged up on than we can help. Both are going to happen, though, I realize. [He's setting up that computer, but he's doing it while he keeps an eye on the Doctor. He is definitely worried.]

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

[Dryly.] You'd just rather delay if possible? Fair point.
