Why will we feel gross after receiving the vaccine?

[woofdad]

Well it's kind of like
You know how you'll be tired after training even though it wasn't a real battle? I assume anyway.
It's like that but with how the body responsds to illness.
I have a fever, and muscle aches, and so on because that's my body tyring to deal with the flu germs; so after getting a vaccine, you might get a minor version of those symptoms

[nastyboy]

Grant, I understand that this may be a very stupid question, but please reassure me that none of us will die from that.

[woofdad]

That is not stupid, and it will not kill you. You'll just probably want to rest for a day or two.

[nastyboy]

I see.

I will leave you to rest. Hopefully we will not take too long in getting the ingredients for the soup.

[woofdad]

Okay, i'll see you later



i lvoe you

[nastyboy]

I love you, too, Grant.

a few minutes later

[woofdad]

[Well, he rested for a while. And then he thought of something, and snapped awake again to grab his Gear.]

dimtiri are you at the store yet

if it's not too late you should get a thermometer too, it's a tool so we can knwo how hot i am

[nastyboy]

We have just arrived.

Can you not tell how hot you are by someone feeling your forehead?

[woofdad]

Qualitatively but not quantitavtivyly

What hte hell. that was meant to be quantitatively

Anyway like that you can tell someone HAS a fever and kind of how bad it is ubt not the numerical temperature, you can measure heat as a number with a thermometer and use that to tell how bad a fever is

[nastyboy]

[...Dimitri makes a note to look up both of those words.]

Will we have to get you different medicines depending on how bad it is, Grant?

[woofdad]

Oh no it's more because if it gets too high I should go to a hospitatl or Pokemon Center or whatever

WHICH is unlikely

[He is not! Going to die!!]

[nastyboy]

[GRANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Should we get something to carry you properly to the hospital if the fever is bad?

[does he need to get a stretcher, grant]

[do they need to prepare the rat sleigh]

[woofdad]

Uuuuh I don't know if I can't walk I could probably ride on a pokemon or something?

[nastyboy]

I will make sure the sleigh is prepared when we get back.

[JUST IN CASE]

[woofdad]

If my temperature does get that high we should still have time to get the sled set upthen, i don't know if you've got to do it ahead of time

Especially sinc e again it probably won't happen anyway!

Thank you though

[nastyboy]

I want to make sure that you are all right, Grant. I do not want to take any chances. With that in mind, I will make sure the sleigh is properly set up just in case there is an emergency.

You are too important for me to do anything less.

If things do not happen, then that is fine, and it will not take much to put things back to as they are.

[woofdad]

[After having lived on his own for so long, his "plan" when he got sick just being to get himself to the hospital if necessary, this is... odd. Even after he took Chip in-- well, Chip is a child, there wasn't much help he could ask of them; he's just glad that this is the first time he's really gotten sick since their arrival.

Anyway, the point is: Having someone fussing over him like this, actually making preparations for if things take a turn for the worse, is new. And, of course, because it's Dimitri, because of how he talks and how quick he always is to tell those important to him how much he cares...

He thinks his face might be getting warmer again.]

Okay

Thank you again
