WHO: Nebula and Quill
WHAT: Meeting during the plague
WHERE: Around town
WHEN: Today

Nebula decided that illness was not something that she appreciated, though she was not in danger of losing her memory the way it had felt in the first couple of days, she was still not feeling well - the way it lingered and left her feeling weak and less capable than she was normally left her quick to anger. She had snapped at Gamora though she knew that it was not truly her sister's fault for her situation.

She needed to get out of their home for sometime, she had heard on earth that fresh air could be good for one's health, so she would see if she could find some of that sort of air. She walked slowly, trying to decide whether or not she had found the fresh air she had heard about frowning as she went.

"Quill," She called out when she caught sight of him near his home. "Where is the fresh air?" She asked him as she approached with a little more determination in her step than she had felt up to that point. "I require it."

Yeah, he was eager. And even before now, back when things had been normal he'd been pretty attentive on top of being overly chatty. He couldn't help it, the feeling like he needed to fill the spaces of silence with extra. Or to just remind people he was still there. Whatever. It was what it was.

"It does taste like grass," he admitted a little ruefully. "And most the rest tastes like... more boring hot water. But if it's what you want." Quill would get it for them and not question their obviously wrong judgement (even though it was obviously wrong). "I can do chai. Probably. Yeah. I'll find some." He paused, considering. "And you know. It might be better if you enjoyed the stupidly named fresh air while sitting on your porch?"

"Sometimes boring hot water is exactly what is required." She did think he might be right about the hot water part of his estimation about tea - but she would not say as much. That they agreed about green tea tasting like grass was enough for now. That and his agreement that he'd find tea for her as well in her chosen flavor.

She was surprised when he suggested she enjoy the fresh air on her porch but nodded. "Yes." She decided after a moment, that would be better, she was tired and she didn't want to continue wandering around the town for something that clearly did not exist in the way she had imagined it. "It will be better." And with that she turned on her heel and made her way back to her own porch where she could maintain her fresh air pretense and rest some as well.
