I'm sorry I couldn't keep from Please don't make me
I'm taking to bed for a few days, Pollux. I don't expect it'll come as any particular surprise to you, really. I was hoping it wouldn't get bad enough that I'd need to.
You won't need to do anything. It's about time I learnt to manage these things on my own, isn't it? I've got medicines with me and I'm sure I'll recover just as I always do.
If you wanted you could keep me company for a while when you get home, it's rather dull being alone when I'm unwell, but I'll understand if you're too busy.
