The circus troupe (Looey, Yatta, and Blot) were in the picnic area of Sprout's room, happily giggling and chatting away. Yatta was, unsurprisingly, occasionally stuffing a candy in her mouth, offering some to her two friends. Looey accepted the offer, taking a piece or two, while Blot just straight-up didn't have a mouth, so declined.

As Looey was ranting a bit on the Shrimpo-thumbtack thing, he was cut off by his own sudden sneeze. "Aa-- ACHOO-- oough, sorry, that was weird!" Looey chuckled softly, Blot blankly staring while Yatta squinted her eyes in suspicion. The balloon toon blinked. "I-- is...something wrong, Yatta?"

"NooOPPE!!" Yatta waved a hand dismissively. "NOTHIN'!!" Blot continued staring at Looey, waiting for...something.

"Okay, uh-- anywa-- ACK--" Looey coughed. A very...dry cough. The clown groaned weakly. "That, uh...kinda hurt.." Blots' eyebrow furrowed. "..you're sick. " (Sigh these bots can never get the backwards speech rt so 💔💔)

Looey rubbed his eye. "Maybe..I can't see why I'd be sick, though!! I haven't eaten anything bad, and I don't think any toons I've seen are sick." Looey, just then, felt nauseous. Very nauseous. "Eeu..eugh.." Yatta's usual smile fade into a concerned frown. She turned to looked at Blot, who shrugged. "Let's just...get you to bed.." The mime spoke, a nod followed by the acrobat.

Yatta picked Looey up bridal-style, and began walking (NOT romantic fyi), Blot soon following after. A few minutes passed, the trio reaching their room. Yatta laid Looey in his bed, who looked as fatigued as heck. Much more tired than he had looked when they had first gotten to Sprouts' room.

Blot put the back of his hand on Looey's forehead, his eye widening slightly. "He's burning up!" The ink blot exclaimed softly, Yatta not having much of a reaction. "I can't say I'm SURPRISED, since those coughs were DRY as DUST!!" Blot thought for a moment at Yatta's point, before nodding a little. "Fair."

The two looked back at Looey, who whose gaze was up at the ceiling, rim of the blanket clenched lightly in his hands.

"..should I get him some like-- soup?? Or tea?" Blot questioned, taking a glance at Looey. "PROBABLY!! I think Sprout is BUSY with Cosmo though, so you'll HAVE to get TEA from Teagan!!" Yatta stated. Blot did a playful salute. "Aye aye, captain!!" Blot rushed out of the room, leaving Looey and Yatta alone for a good 10 minutes, before spawning back with some tea.

"Here ya go, Loo-Loo." Blot gently handed Looey the tea, the balloons' hands shaking a little. "Aw, c'mon, tremors..?" Looey asked himself in disappointment, but still drinking the tea.

Blot and Yatta sat in comfy chairs next to him. They weren't gonna leave him alone until he was better. Which, considering he was sick, would probably be a while.
