Grins. 'I'm here to see my favourite European, make sure you don't miss me or forget about me!'

help?'

shakes his head. "It's just a headache. Nothing much else can help besides mecidine." He took it easily enough and sighed. "Want tea or

something?"

still looks worried. He smiles, 'How about I make a cup for both of us and you lie down on the couch while the pills kick in?'

shrugged, and just went to sit on a kitchen chair. "The tea is in the cupboard above the sink."

Frowns for the other, finishing his own tea. 'It's probably best for her if it doesn't go on, you know. Each weekend she's confronted with_
