I was annoyed when Eden walked through the door. The pounding of my head had prevented me for sleeping for some time, and, just when I had finally been about to drift off, the noise of him coming in to check on me pulled me right back into the world of the conscious that I was trying so desperately to escape from. I groaned as he knelt down next to me. That was pretty much all I could manage.
"Well, that answers my question of whether you're awake or not." Eden said.
"No thanks to you." I thought in irritation.
"Would you mind facing this way for a moment? I need to take your temperature again and give you your next dose of medicine."
"Don't wanna." I mumbled, tightening my hold on my sheets.
"Come on, Ethereal."
"No."
Eden sighed, but I then frowned when I could sense his expression changing into a snarky grin even though I couldn't see his face.
"Alright. But you know, I do have to check your temperature somehow. If you won't turn to face me, I can always go get the rectal thermometer."
I did shift ever so slightly to give him the nastiest of glares. He was indeed grinning down at me with a mischievous expression.
"You're the worst." I mumbled again, reluctantly rolling over to my other side even though it made my stomach churn harshly.
Eden just laughed.

What was even worse than Eden making me turn over was Eden making me sit up. Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice in the matter. My throat was too sore and swollen to drink my medicine lying down. The tightness of my throat also made it impossible to ignore the bitter, stinging taste as it went down. I cringed and stuck out my tongue in disgust.
"I hate this." I complained.
"I did warn you," Eden reminded me, "You shouldn't have gone splashing around in the rain without the proper gear on first."
"What does it matter?"
"It matters because your immune system is incredibly weak due to your isolation."
I stared at him in confusion.
"Didn't I explain this to you before?" Eden asked in surprised.
"No."
"Oh. I thought I did. I guess it makes sense then why my warning didn't have much impact."
"You're really the worst." I grumbled again.
"Sorry," Eden said sympathetically, "Let me give you the quick run down now. You know what vaccines are, right?"
I nodded.
"Okay, so the body does something similar on its own. When it comes into contact with germs or illness, it builds up defenses which can fend off both in the future. This is why parents are encouraged to allow their children to come into contact with common germs- as being exposed lets the children grow resistant to them. It's actually bad if young children are kept in sterile environments where they don't have that exposure. Like you. Eminence was always scrubbed clean. I doubt Swirl had much physical contact with you, and even then she wasn't around you for long. I was the only one bringing in a small portion of the germs you should have come into contact with. Your body never got the chance to build up its defenses. Now that you're here in the outside world you're bound to get sick, and get sick often, because of that."
"Great..."

I would have complained more if I had had the energy to do so. Instead, I flopped back onto my bed. The medicine Eden had given me was thankfully making me exhausted. I would whine and make a big fuss later after I got sleep. If Eden was right and I would be getting sick often- a tantrum was most warranted. The Company had stolen ten years of true living away from me. Now they were still keeping me stuck inside my room because I was never around any stupid germs.
Eden disappeared for a moment, but he was soon back.
"Here. You forgot Fluff downstairs."
"Mm."
"I'll just put him down," Eden said gently as he set Fluff next to me on the mattress, "I'll be in my office working-"
"Like always."
"Yes, like always. If you need anything, I'll be there." Eden answered with a chuckle.
I nodded ever so slightly. Eden kissed me on the forehead before making his departure.
