[AAAAAA]

You know for a moment i was worried that I was feeling warmer but I don't think that was from the fever
Thank you.

Man, uh... chicken is good?

We will get chicken, then. I am certain that Ashe and Dedue will know the perfect things to put into them to help your recovery.

This world has many medicines as well, doesn't it? Should we pick something up for you along those line?

Uh, man. if you can find cough medicine, painkillers, or a fever reducer that would be good - there may be stuff that can do both of those last two. Like anything with acetaminophen or ibuprofen
i THINK i spelled those right but I might be a little off.

thank you

This is the least I can do. Besides, Ashe likes to take care of people.

When we were younger, he wanted to be a knight, after all. He is also a very good big brother.

Well he's a little young to be a big brother to me but i'll accept the help all the same

That was a dumb thing to say, i'm blaming it on the fever

It will be a very handy excuse for you. I believe Claude would no doubt encourage you to use it for all it is worth.

Oh I bet he will, and I intend to. might as well take advantage of this in that one way right!

Indeed.

We will make sure you recover immediately. Chip will be distressed to see you in a poor state, and so will we.

[A minute later -]

Well, Dedue will be more reserved in his emotions but it is nothing against you. He is used to being distant from people. He will still care about what happens to you.

Oh yeah i kind of got that impression from him, it's alright. I don't exactly have room to judge anyeone for not being super friendly with strangers haha

Shoot i forgot to ask, while you guys are out could you also pick up some facemasks and disposable gloves? If you don't know what kind to get just ask the people at the store what's good for stopping flu from spreading

I am certain that he will like you, once he gets to know you better. You are a good person.

Grant, you have the flu?

Here's hoping. I"m sure he's a good judge of character but I still worry about making a good impression, y'know?

[Oh shit right]

Yes but it's way less of a big deal where I'm from and I think here than where you're from

I am not goin gto die

Are you certain? Will the medicines at the store be enough?

I'm sure. I've had the flu before - and thsi place and my world both have preemptive treatements you can get so you're less likely to get it and it won't be as bad if you do, and I got that done back in my world

The rest of you guys might need to be more careful just in case but that's what the masks and gloves are for

I will trust in your words, Grant. Regardless, please alert us immediately if anything seems to be turning worse than expected.

What are these preemptive treatments?

I will, for sure.

It's basically a dead or really weakened version of the disease that's placed in your body, so your body learns how to fight that disease without getting sick
I'm probably not explaining it well because, I mean, I'm not a doctor, but that's the general idea?

[ . . . ]

[ ? ? ? ]

How do you kill a disease?

Wait, I apologize. You just said you are not a doctor. Is this something an average person can accomplish?

Oh no I know that one actually it's pretty common knowledge where i'm from

Uh brace yourself though because it mind be kind of alarming if you didn't already know it? I promise it's not as scary as it sounds though.

So a lot of diseases including the flu are actually caused by really tiny living things that get into the body and attack it, and a lot of the symptoms we see are the product of the body trying to kill them. So if you teach it first it can do that better, and either kill the germs - that's a collloquial term for those tiny organisms - right away so you don't get sick at all, or at least fight them faster so you're not sick as long and you're in less danger.

I know this is a lot so take your time and ask meif you have any other questions and i can try to asnwer them if I know how

[It takes a few minutes for Dimitri to get back to Grant - presumably by this point he's traveling with Ashe to the store.]

I should not bother you if you are sick.

Also, I am trying to stay calm.

A part of this is trying to compare this to something I am familiar with. Is it similar to sparring with a wooden dummy, would you say?

Nah it's fine you'll just know that if I take a while to answer I probably fell asleep

Good, keep doing that.

I think so? I mean I've never sparred with a dummy myself but it seems like the same basic idea. Evne if it can't move you get a feel for making sure your attacks hit something human-shaped right?

Yes. It also helps you adjust yourself to the impact of hitting something solid.

Can anyone kill or buy these dead diseases to improve their body?

Yeah it sounds like that's definitely along the right lines then!

Yes; they're called vaccines, some of them you have to go to a doctor for but most pharmacies have flu vaccines available around fall and winter

Actually it might be different here bu tgiven how this place works i'd gues they're MORE accessible than they were back home?

I will encourage Ashe to come with me as we stop by the Pokecenter. I am certain that the nurses there will know more on this subject.
