[Video | Action for Ukitake's Housemates or Visitors]
[The view from the communicator shows a dimly lit bedroom, as far as anyone can tell. The camera seems to be angled toward the foot of a futon, one buried beneath several layers of thick blankets. The sole source of light appears to be a window against one wall. A harsh cough interrupts the quiet of the room. The communicator must be resting on the futon, because it starts shaking in time with the coughs. It's hard to tell if the occupant of the room meant to begin a transmission and was forced to abandon it because of the coughing fit, or if he somehow struck the communicator during an earlier fit and turned it on. A curtain of white hair swings forward, obscuring the camera's view as the coughing becomes worse.]

[ Well if he couldn't recognize a hacking cough. ]

Sir? I beg your pardon-- can you hear me?

[It takes a moment for the coughing to subside sufficiently for Ukitake to speak again, but when it does, he rights the communicator and offers a weary smile.]

Of course I can. [He's not exactly at death's door, even if he sounds terrible.] I apologize if I disturbed you.

No trouble at all. In fact I might be getting in the way of your rest.

[ However -- ] Do you require assistance, though?

I'm all right. [Another cough, as if to make a liar out of him, though he's telling the truth in so far as he knows he's not bad enough yet to need intervention.] Really, there's no need to be concerned.

[ With some observation, Frankenstein is starting to think that that this cough might be... a familiar occurrence. ] I beg your pardon, then. I would be worried if one from my household suffered from any kind of sickness.

Is ginger tea to your taste, sir?

Understandable. [Ukitake smiles to show his appreciation for this gentleman's worry.] Thankfully, this isn't catching.

Ginger tea? I do enjoy it, yes.

I have brewed a batch, you see --

[ Then chuckles at his own mishap in courtesy. ] So much for being strangers -- my name is Frank Lee. I was hoping to offer some of the brew I've prepared.

Jyuushiro Ukitake. [He pauses as he waits for another coughing fit to pass.]

There's no need to trouble yourself, truly.

Ginger tea with honey is known to soothe the throat in situations such as these.

Though -- would you have someone with you at the moment?

Captain... [At first his voice is small, but then he speaks up to be heard at a distance and over the coughing.] Captain, can you hear me? If you can't talk, just nod or shake your head. Is there anyone in the house with you right now?

[Once Ukitake gets the coughing back under control, he puts the communicator to rights and answers Moji's inquiry in a roughened voice.]

I'm not so bad as that. [Not yet, anyway.] I'm sorry if I worried you.

[He pulls himself upright, and for a moment he looks and sounds much older than his fourteen years. His eyes and voice are firm, almost steely.]

If you need any help, please don't turn it down because of politeness or pride. It'd be no problem for me to come over there for awhile, even just to make you some tea.

[Goodness. It's almost like watching Hitsugaya, Ukitake thinks for a moment, seeing that air of authority assumed by such a young person.]

Really, there's no need for you to go out of your way. [He covers up another cough.]

[That cracks his veneer a little, and he smiles softly.]

"Out of your way" isn't really very far here. It's big for a prison, but small compared to a city. I could be there in minutes.

It's not something I'm good at. [Now back to his usual pleasant, calm demeanor.] Just a cup of tea, and then I'll leave you alone. Have you got honey and lemon there?

I believe so. [He wouldn't mind the company; he just doesn't want anyone making a fuss over something that, for him, is fairly routine.]

[Raistlin's seen standing, folding his arms as he watches the scene unfold, then he clears his throat and speaks softly.]

Your illness is not one that can be remedied by anything, is it?

[Ukitake's eyes narrow with caution at the assessment. That seems a rather quick judgment to make based on the transmission alone.]

[There's a small smirk on Raistlin's lips.]
I find it hard to believe that, even given our circumstances, there is anyone within Acumen's grasp who would let someone suffer as you are. Even the fool of a brother that I had insisted he could cure my own cough.

Is that so?

[He regards the scene with an expressionless face, clearly not seeming to care that this man was ill and coughing.]

It is. It is in human nature to look after ourselves. For when everything else abandons us, we are all that we have.

I have hardly been abandoned. [He is simply not in need of more direct assistance--at least not yet--and he isn't about to let anyone make more a fuss over him than is necessary.]

[Raistlin smirks now, folding his arms over themselves.]

You are misunderstanding my point. Perhaps whatever it is that you have is effecting more than your lungs. I am Raistlin Majere, the Master of Present and Past in my world, at least, if not in all realms. I am a very powerful wizard, forced to live in a crippled body because they feared me so. This imprisonment by Acumen is nothing. Yet, my foolish brother found it necessary to lend me his strength, to care for me, even when I no longer required his assistance and tried to tell him so.

Your business is your own. I am not going to pry into your life, nor do I have any interest. I find it hard to believe that anyone can live without the care of another if even I had someone following after me. I trust that you...[here, his voice almost sneered] probably have a dear friend looking after you in concern.

My ... condition ... has been seen to by healers more than qualified to assess its severity and the appropriate treatments. [At home, at least, and Ukitake long ago accepted that there is little that can be done for him, save to treat the attacks as they come.]
