Testing Humanity (1x1) [Telios and SaphireTsuki)

[SaphireTsuki]

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a headache." Nothing to worry about, she was just tired. Or, so she thought, though it was worse the longer she looked at the computer.

 

[Telios]

"Are you sure...?" Puras asked, feeling the headache worsening.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"Yeah... just..." A sheepish smile, "I guess I should take a break, though." She moved away from the computer, letting herself sit down on a nearby chair, one hand resting on her forehead lightly. "Sorry to worry you, though." It still was bad, so she put her head in her hands, hoping that would help.

 

[Telios]

Puras grunted as the headache stayed on him, feeling uneasy. He tried to ignore it.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

((Lol, headaches are torture. I know. Luckily there's an easy fix, if you can figure it out, in this case...))


Selena slowly rubbed her temples in circles, taking deep breaths and hoping the pain would slowly fade, what looked like guilt on her face.

 

[Telios]

Puras slowly sat up as he set the ice water bags aside.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"How are you feeling, though, Puras?" her eyes closed, the pain receding a little bit now, not much... but she could think again.

 

[Telios]

"Better but still hot... Plus the headache was still there...." Puras answered.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

A nod, "Keep a wet rag on your forehead or neck, it's helped you cool down each time you've collapsed so far, so it might help prevent it." A deep breath, "As for your headache... nothing I can do about that. I've got one and it's not going anywhere."

 

[Telios]

Puras took a wet rag and put it over his neck. "Much better..." He breathed out. "So how did you get the headache. Too much work?" He asked.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"I think it's a fatigue headache, I didn't fall asleep until... about four in the morning?" She didn't meet his face just yet.

 

[Telios]

"You shouldn't stay up late..." Puras said as he sat down next to Selena.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"I thought the paper was due this morning!" The sad excuse didn't work that well, though... you could hear her own defeat.

 

[Telios]

"It's alright..." Puras said, leaning back onto the couch.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

She nodded, letting her head return to her hands. "I just want it to stop, but I can't, so..." So she'd decided to do something else to get her mind off of it.

 

[Telios]

"So what?" Puras asked, trying to set aside his own headache.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"I... thought working on something would take my mind off of it."

 

[Telios]

"Don't push yourself too hard. Don't forget I'm linked to you now." Puras said with a smile.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

A soft, tired smile, "that's right. I... must be giving you a headache right now. Sorry." Honestly, she was. He didn't deserve the headache she must be giving him.

 

[Telios]

"It's fine it's fine..." Puras said, trying to shake the topic off.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

A nod, "If you'd rather talk about something else...?" He seemed antsy about something.

 

[Telios]

"Why are you researching on human biology? Are you trying to be a doctor?" Puras asked, looking to her with his right hand on his forehead.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"Yup. Families against it, though." A tiny smirk, "They wanted me to go into politics, like my dad. I'm sure I could, being a good arguer and all, but I would rather spend my days working towards a better, and certain, future than convincing a bunch of old men we need to move forward."

 

[Telios]

"Politics? Oh wow." Puras rolled his eyes. "I think you are better being a doctor." He said with a smile.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"Thank you." A bright smile, "And you? Any dreams for your future?"
