Hook watched Else handle Ariel's now ruined outfit... Oh God, please kiss...
No.... Guess not. He groaned and rolled over pulling the blankets over his head, a wave of cold shivers washed over him making him wish he had another two or three blankets around.

"Yes I will change and we need to do something about the blankets I guess... I am sure he has more some where. I am going to leave now cause if I stay any longer I might kill him in his weakened state." Ariel told Else.
"Anyway thanks for helping out he is a handful even when he is sicker then a dogfish isn't he?" Ariel asked her annoyed that Hook ruined yet another outfit. She went downstairs to change.

Else knew her way enough around the ship from her prolonged encounter with Hook in Neverland to find extra blankets in a compartment below deck. She came back to the Captain's Cabin to find that Hook had managed to toss and turn his way out of bed. He was reaching for a bottle of rum that was just barely out of his reach. It was empty, but the pirate still reached for it with greedy, but exhausted, fingers.
The expectant woman rushed over to him, helping him back into bed. "No, no, Killian." She soothed. "That won't help you... you need REST... and fluids. Of the NON-RUM variety." She retrieved the blankets and put two more on top of him. She made sure to tuck him in so that no cold could penetrate through. Else then put on another blanket over top for extra heat; that fever just needed to burn itself out... but perhaps she should take his temperature just to be safe. She had Dr. Whale's number on speed- dial since she recently discovered she was pregnant, just in case Hook's fever got out of hand.
She took the thermometer out of her pack and brought it to Hook's mouth. "Open your mouth, Captain Jones..." Even in his feverish state he could still manage a lewd look at her. It must be a default for him. "Open it or I SHOVE it in." He complied. "Keep this end under your tongue and your mouth closed for five minutes. I'm trying to get a read on your temperature as a precaution."

Else practically stabbed it into his tongue, normally he wouldn't complain, but since he covered himself in soup and was denied any pleasure he'd expected for Gods only know what reason- he was hardly in the mood.
He huffed and sat back in the bed holding the little class stick as Else had commanded, crossing his arms and pouting slightly as a child might. He didn't say anything to her for fear of it falling out of his mouth and having to restart the process all over again.
Finally Else looked at the tome and took out the device, looking at the number," Well? Do I have a fever or not?" he asked hoping perhaps if he didn't they would leave him be.

Ariel came back into Hook's room she had changed and put on jeans and a sweater.
"So how bad is the fever?" She asked Else going over to her. Hook was actually awake so that had to be a good sign.
"Do we need to take him to the hospital I really hope not." Ariel said bending down to find the soup bowl and spoon from the floor where it had dropped.

"Of course you have a fever, you dolt." She grimaced at him. Else tried to hide the concern on her face as she looked at the high number on the thermometer. "And unfortunately it is climbing very steadily... though your body temperature is always a few degrees hotter then normal... even I remember that from our time together." His body was sometimes the only thing that keep her warm and alive... especially in the Winter Forest, when when her nightmares had peaked and his coat was not enough to keep out the chill.
Else shook the thought away. That was a dark time.
Ariel came back in. "Well it's not GOOD and it needs to be monitored closely... but I think rest is the best thing for him at the moment. Just, keep a watchful eye over him." She retrieved her coat, only to hear her phone vibrate. It was Hans... demanding to know where she was. She sighed, slipping the damned contraption in her jean pocket. "I'll leave everything with you, there's more supplies in the bag... and PLEASE gargle some hot salt water, and take some acinacea before you go to bed, Ariel. Just as a precaution."
Else gave Ariel a little hug and then went back over to Hooks side, leaning in close. "Be kind to your caretaker, Captain Killian." She said firmly. "You're probably not used to people caring about what happens to you... but you're stuck with us. You managed to wiggle your way into our hearts... so don't DIE. We simply won't forgive you." She leaned down and kissed his forehead in a maternal way. She gave a final wave to Ariel and exited out of the Cabin.

Hook groaned and tunneled deeper under the covers," Wonderful work ladies.... take a break" He waved, he was confident he wouldn't being dying anytime soon. Clearly this was just an overreaction- not a first for ladies being around him really- but if he did have a MILD fever it would mean he would be at Ariel's mercy

Ariel said goodbye to Else and went back to Hook.
"Alright sleep," Ariel grabbed a book and sat down in a chair in the room. She didn't feel like she should leave him not yet anyway.
"I'm not going to leave, but I am not feeding you soup again any time soon." She told him. He really did look terrible.

Hours passed, Hook slept but lightly. Finally he found himself staring at the ceiling of his cabin, mouth dry, lips chapped and starving. He couldn't put it off any longer- he needed to get something to drink- and possibly find some bread to fill his stomach.
He lumbered out of his room, leaning heavily against the hallway wall. Maybe by some miracle Ariel wouldn't hear him? She had been sleeping when he left.... Where was the Rum??

Ariel had fallen asleep reading some terrible book about a vampire and a girl or was it a wolf. She had no idea but it was really stupid. She woke hearing Hook get up and clamber down the ship's hallway.
Ariel rose from the chair and followed him. "Where are you going?" She called to him. He froze, "Killian! You need to be in bed. If you need something why didn't you ask?" Ariel walked up behind him. She didn't like sounding like his mother but really he was dizzy and walking didn't sound like a good idea to her.
"Look what do you need? I'll bring it to you I'm under orders to make sure you get well."

"I.. need... a goddamn drink," He said breathily, but he hated to inhale- it made his mouth even more dry and impossibly swampy.
She took an arm around him and helped him back to bed," Orange Juice... suppose"

Ariel smiled. "Yes, or you can have tea, if you want. There is still more soup but I am not feeding you!" Ariel told him covering him back up.
"Your really sick just stay in bed and you will be better in no time. Also Else left these pills and if you don't take them I will call her..." Ariel threatened him it seemed like the only thing he responded to.

"Fine.... he tucked himself under the covers again- covering his head. Then felt around on the table with his good hand for the little pills, then swallowed them the best he could.
"I'll have tea!" He croaked, rolling further into his bed

Ariel went and used Else's stove thingy to make tea. She felt like she really accomplished something today even as little thing as making tea. She also warmed up the soup if he wanted it, there were crackers to. She put them on the tray Else used and went back into the room.
"Alright I brought tea and I swear if you spill it on me I wont be pleased." She sat on the edge of the bed and pilled up the pillows so he would have a place to sit up. She felt his head he was still warm but it wasn't as bad as he was earlier.

Had he not felt sicker than a dog, he might have laughed. But instead he slowly crawled out from under his covers, clammily grabbing a spoon with his one good hand and bringing it to his lips. Not saying a word.
