[i]- Mercy & Lloyd - [/i]

Mercy perched herself on the edge of Lloyd's bed once he gave her consent to, resting a small bowl of cool water on the side she reached over and pulled a thin strip of fabric out of it. She wrung it out before folding it and reaching over to sweep Lloyd's long fringe out of the way and laid the cool fabric on his moist forehead. "Are they the only symptoms?" She asked him softly, lines creased her forehead. "Fever, lethargy, aches and pains...they can be linked to quite a few things. Flu would be the worst...though it could just be a nasty cold brought on by stress perhaps?" She murmured with a small smile. "It'll pass then?" Lloyd asked uncertainly as he blinked up at her. "I'm sure it will" She assured him. "As long as you stay in bed, drink lots of fluids it should pass. I will need to monitor your temperature though, 39.2 is pretty high but as long as it stays that way you'll be ok" She answered him, leaning back to tuck everything back into her makeshift first aid kit. 

"...what about the farm? I can't stay in bed when there are things to do" Lloyd mumbled, he hadn't felt completely comfortable with the idea of trusting a stranger. But he couldn't deny that it felt good having someone care for him, he wasn't accustomed to being alone...but everyone he knew and loved were gone. "You can't keep pushing yourself either. You'll have to trust us to look after the farm for you...I know its not ideal but its the best option for you at the moment" She remarked getting to her feet. "You're all staying?" He queried, uncertainty crossed his flushed face. Mercy lifted a hand up to rest on the side of her neck and chewed her lip as she thought over his question. "I...I don't know..." was her hesitant response "I can't speak for everyone else, but Ash and I aren't going anywhere soon" She quickly assured him, offering up a bright smile as the panic retreated from the young lad's eyes, he wasn't completely convinced that any of them were trustworthy but he couldn't ignore the fact the blonde woman had assisted in his rescue before, therefore he decided to have a little faith. With a small nod he relaxed back into his pillows and closed his eyes, enjoying the cool feel of the cloth against his heated flesh. 

Mercy took that as a sign to leave, she silently made her way across his room and slid through the open door, closing it quietly behind her. As soon as it clicked into place she turned towards the staircase leading up to the attic and released a drawn out sigh as she felt anxiety claw its way into her stomach. Without moving she lifted a hand to her head and splayed her fingers across her forehead, briefly closing her eyes as she thought over what she had to do, to be honest she wasn't entirely convinced Cat would even accept her offer of assistance, then there was the worry of Tamashii finding out and rushing up to the attic...she opened her eyes and pushed away from Lloyd's door making her way down the corridor towards the stairs up to the attic, being sure to keep her eyes focused forward as she moved past Tony and Chris's room so as not to disturb them. Unless anyone felt the need to stop her along her way, she turned into her shared room and walked over to her backpack to retrieve something. 

[i] - Tamashii - [/i] 

Seeing that Kaylah hadn't finished what she was doing, Tamashii felt a little awkward for asking more of her. "Actually tell you what, whilst you finish up here, I'll go and see who I can find...I need to check up on Mercy anyhow" She stated, reaching into the truck she pulled the keys out of the ignition and pocketed them, nodding her head to Kaylah as if to encourage her to keep up the good work. She strode across the grass field between them and the farm house, being sure to keep her distance from the pond...she didn't trust its murky depths, anything could be hidden under there and unless someone was willing to jump in and search they'd never truly know if it was 'safe'.

She was paranoid but in fairness it was her paranoia that had kept Mercy and her safe for this long. She reached the farm house within a matter of minutes and jogged up the steps towards the kitchen, her eyes were constantly scanning the area around her as she moved, she even went as far as to carefully open the kitchen door, standing behind it she cautiously peeked around it catching sight of Dog on the far side, she pulled the door open and stepped inside. "Dog" the name came out sharper than she had intended but she carried on regardless. "Did you find that map?" She asked, moving over to the kitchen table she glanced around the kitchen in search of Olivia but the young girl wasn't there, not that she was overly concerned by this fact. 

She folded her arms across her chest and tapped her fingers against her arm. "Oh...and we're going to need a few extra hands on this fuel run, are you in?" She quickly continued on before the 'guy' could even answer her first question, she would have preferred to leave both of the twins behind. But with Remy off securing the perimeter she didn't have much choice on the matter, those canisters were freaking heavy and they needed more muscle to lift them. "Just you though not your brother" She followed up in warning, she was going to be distracted enough keeping Mercy safe whilst they were out there, she couldn't have the added pressure of a psychopath watching their every move.
