009 [Action/Video]

[Another routine training session at the Battle Dome. Karla finishes another battle with the advanced bandits programming that Ginia had taught her. However, it's only after the battle is finished when her own exhaustion seems to hit her like a freight train. Her entire body aches, and a tightening sensation in her chest. She hadn't noticed it during the battle, and she's certainly never felt this bad after one. In fact, she actually decides to quit her training session early.]

[She staggers out of the simulation room on her way out, then pauses, coughing violently.]


[Video]

[Karla's definitely sick; she's sure of it now. She's put her physical activity on hold, but the urge to battle still rages within her. And worse, indulging in battle is not the ultimate answer.]

[Still coughing as she opens her journal, she waits for a lull before speaking, her voice hoarse and weak.]


...Has anyone ever had a hunger for battle that you just can't quench? What do you do to keep it from consuming you?

Give me a few minutes to go there and I can help you to the village clinic.

[And some time later, after running from Wind Building to Ice Building, there comes a knock on Karla's door.]

[Karla looks even worse in person. Ginia's quick to move in to support her. She pulls her cellphone out of her pocket and quickly types with one hand:]

Is there anything you want to take with you to the clinic? You might be there for awhile.

[Ginia nods when Karla is ready. With one arm over her own shoulders and an arm around Karla, she should be able to lean on Ginia for support. Though if walking proves too much, Ginia's more than capable of carrying Karla on her back.]

[They have to cut through a bit of the forest to get onto the path straight to the clinic, but it's an easy walk. Ginia walks slowly, checking on Karla if she looks like she's getting too tired.

Unfortunately, Ginia isn't much of a conversationalist.]

[The coughing is really worrisome. Thankfully, they aren't too far from the clinic. Ginia fumbles to get the door open and hold it as she helps Karla inside and to the nearest seat. Once she's seated, Ginia pulls out her phone again.]

You'll be safe here, the doctors will be able to figure out what's wrong. You'll be able to rest here too.

[It won't be long to wait. Ami is on her feet as soon as she hears people arriving and sees how exhausted Karla seems. Fatigue... a cough, she notices as it breaks out... She's worried at once and wants to examine the patient for herself.]

Please come in right away. [She'll help support Karla as they bring her into the office, and there should be a bed free once they're finished...]

[Ginia nods at Ami and helps Karla back onto her feet. With the help of the young doctor, they get Karla into the office. Once Karla is down and her hands are free, Ginia takes her phone and types out a message.]

Exhaustion from over-training, I think, but she has a bad cough.

[As soon as they make Karla a little more comfortable again, and she seems to be more relaxed, Ami starts from the beginning.]

Please tell me your symptoms. [After all, the patient knows her own body best. She'll start from hearing Karla's own version of what's happening and what this illness might be.]

[With Ami taking over, Ginia steps away. She gives Karla a small smile and nods at the doctor before silently excusing herself from the clinic.]

[Ami offers Ginia a polite nod as she leaves, before turning back to Karla. A cough and fatigue aren't very explicit, but she'll do her best to tease out more details and form a more coherent picture.

Starting with the question of temperature.]


Let's see if there's a fever first. [She has her thermometer handy, and allows Karla to take it and hold it in her mouth.]

When did your symptoms begin?

[So then it isn't a prior condition from before now, aggravated by the stress. Ami waits for the temperature readout before she asks more questions.]

Do you often become fatigued during exercise? Was there any shortness of breath?

[A fever, but not an alarming one - good. A cold, then? Flu? She doesn't want to jump to the conclusion of bronchitis... She does want to keep an eye on it.]

That's a relief, your fever isn't too high. Have you had a normal appetite?

How were you feeling this morning when you ate? [Did this come on suddenly while she was at the battledome, or was she already feeling a little off by then?]

[A thoughtful nod.]

Well, I don't think you need to worry too much for the time being. Just get some rest, make sure to drink plenty of liquids, and if the fever worsens, please come right away. I'll give you medicine for that, and for the cough, too.

Of course. I'll be right nearby, too, if you need anything. [Exactly why she'd been thinking about whether they had some room available.]
