[ inb4... why did it have to be rising water woes......

so, er, it’s kind of apparent that rising water’s kind of traumatic for velige. ever since the water first started rising, he’s been feeling a distinctly uncomfortable. a sort of an ashamed disquietude. and while it’s no different from his usual pokerface, it apparently bothers him enough to the point where he’s willing to send a message out to the network in an attempt to assuage his uncertainty. ]

I need a favour. Define whats it like feelin sad.

Or tell me a sad story.

Doesn’t matter if it’s real or made-up or whatever. Slong as its supposed tmake people feel something.

[ he thinks about this for a moment, then amends it-- ] Slong as its supposed tmake normal people feel something.

[ ... that almost sounds like an order, little boss. he nods, mute, and makes his way to the edge of his bed. ... and sits unceremoniously on the floor. as soon as he sits down, he seems to deflate a little, before a hand goes to his head. ]

[Conan's a little alarmed at what seems like a sudden change in plans, but relaxes as it doesn't seem that Loewe's hurt himself.]

Oi ... no sudden moves or you'll be sick again. Dizzy?

[It doesn't seem like it's anything but a reaction to the weather, but Conan decides to check for a fever anyway. Lucky he has small hands -- he can try to place his on Loewe's forehead without having to remove Loewe's.]

[ ................... he is not used to being fussed over, haha. he'll hold still obediently so you can check his temperature, though-- it's slightly high, since he caught a cold sloshing around outside helping people with the water thing. not that he knows this. he shakes his head, though, once you're done with that. ]

Nah.

Just tired. [ of all the water. but he's giving you a curious look. ]

[Conan puts a hand to his own forehead to compare.]

Hot -- tch. You would have a fever.

... I'm overheatin'?

[Strange phrasing.]

You're overheating. Maybe you picked up a bug -- do you have any other symptoms?

[ ... why is he overheating klasdlkaklfasslklsfd. that's... kind of worrisome. ] No, it's...

Not that.

Not that?

[Conan returns to the bathroom for another damp towel.]

Ne ... Your um. [How do you describe it? Conan got a fairly good look at it while Loewe was throwing up and it looks like nothing so much as a computer port.] Your -- port? [This may not be the best question to ask ... ] Is it water proof?

[ of course he'd seen it-- have a pause, here. because. he actually has no idea how to explain. ]

Should... be.

[ ... ] I've got a back-up. The laptop's in the drawer.

Do you need it now? Or is that in case?

If I start shortin' out, I'll need it. [ /COMPLETELY SERIOUS ]

Ne, Loewe-kun, do you feel well enough to talk me through what needs to be done if you ... short out or anything else happens? Just in case.

[ have an amused look, conan. he looks tired, but at least he's well enough to take this lightly as per usual. ] How good are you with computers?

Okay. I mean, I know how to use one, and take pretty good care of one, but I'm no expert.

[Conan, meanwhile, is taking this seriously as usual.]

Should be fine, then. If I'm shortin' out-- [ hnnnng ] means my personality's gettin' overwritten.

Just take the usb and jam it in.

It really is a back-up, huh.

Ne -- that's normal? For your world?

For the people that ain't human-- yeah.

[Is it Conan's imagination, or is Loewe-kun looking better? Rather than being a sensitive subject, this seems to be a distraction -- though he's still pretty pale.]

The storage of memories -- and other personal information ... Is that the only difference?

[ -- it's calming him down. because what happened is that the rising water caused anxiety, and anxiety causes over-reactions in his drives, which shorts out his nerves-- which means maintaining calmness helps! emotions really are the driving forces. ]

... you could say that. [ a wince. ] Been meanin' to tell you somethin'.

[...]

I'm not going anywhere, Loewe-kun.

No, 'sa request.

Take me off the team if I get to be a hindrance.

What makes you think that's a possibility?

Surprised it hasn't happened yet.

What do you mean?

[ sounds like the little boss kind of wants to know what's going on. but he wants to clarify something first-- the motivation for wanting to know. ] ... lookin' for ways to prevent it? Or assessing the potential damage?

[ ... the simplest answer never even occurs to him. ]
