Piper sits her right back down on the chair with the excuse of tucking a blanket around her.

"mmph! I'm old.. helpless and now I'm trapped by a pint sized young perrson... life is terrible'" oh the drama "I should have tea in there somewhere"

"That's my girl." She says with a laugh. "Now, do you have a headache or can I put some tunes on for you while I try to whip up something hot?"

"I suppose soft rock wont kill me" She shivers from the fever

She turns on some tunes, then ducks back into the kitchen. Out of sight, her worry shows on her face, and she scrolls through her phone, trying to decide who to contact.

"PIper... if I ggo... do you want my guitar?"

"No way! You're going to need to to play jams at my housewarming party with Siv and Jonas!" She checks the soup, and realizes she set the timer on the microwave and not the POWER and mumbles a curse under her breath as she presses buttons again.

Piper chews her lip as she stares at her phone, until the beep startles her and she stirs the murky canned soup. Has canned soup always looked so depressing? Maybe just since Jonas started cooking for her...

It does look rather.. mushy mushroom, nnot happy mushroom soup like he can make

She gives it a stir as though that will help, and takes the bowl to Etsi. "Nice, warm soup. Right? Delicious." She says as though words might make it true.

And then ducks back into the kitchen. "Tea coming up...." And looks at her phone once more before deciding to make a call.

A sip

"dannks" the woman says

Piper peeks out to see if she's eating, before pulling her head back into the kitchen

She's mostly stirringg it like itt might attack

Piper finds a box of tea and makes a cup to bring to Etsy. "Sorry, mushroom soup is one of Jonas's specialties... mushroom anything, really. I think he could make a career as a truffle-hunting pig if he ever decided to give up the patrol business. Here, try to drink this. I'll bring some juice too."

"thanks , piper.. I'm not much fun right now" She sips

"No one can be fun all the time." She says. "Even the hardest rockers gotta rest up now and again. Hey, let me tell you about this guy that Siv introduced me to..."

Recanting the tale of meeting Dockery, and his magnificent collection of music miscellanea...

"Yeah? Nno way... "At menntionn of those albulms

"Can you believe that Siv's never heard of Pink Floyd?"

"oh that child has gaps in her education"

"See, and who better than you to help me shore those up? She's moving to the apartments, you know." Making sure that Etsy drinks the tea.

She does "that'll be nice"

"You remember Sylvi, right? She's gonna stop by okay?"

"Sylvi? Huh... cute one.. great make up... "

And.. they talk abit... between coughs
