[April looks both tired and not very happy, and she seems to be suffering from sort of headache, judging by how she's rubbing her forehead with a grimace.]

Apparently portable communication devices are a thing that's impossible to make here. If you can somehow put together the materials to make something simple, making a wireless connection between them is impossible, even with use of powers. I tried and now my head hates me for it.

[A sigh as she rubs her eyes.]

So yeah, to the people who I told this about and stuff, sorry but it's not gonna happen. And on a related note, if anyone wants any sort of tech made, I'll probably be able to help out. So long as it isn't a portable communications device or something like that.

[She glances down at the bed, giving him a few nods, which of course causes another wince.]

Ah, yep... Thanks. [She's aware of how odd her quietness is now, but most of her energy had been drained by her arguing earlier and now she's just tired and sore.]

[ Now settling her down gently upon the bed, Haldir then starts to pry off her shoes. ]

You are most welcomed but you should've sought rest on your own.

[ Only he could accept gratitude AND scold someone within the same breath. ]

Honestly, you might be with fever.

[ Now that he managed to get her shoes off, the elf carefully places them on the floor before tending to April once more. Now gathering the sheets and blankets for her, Haldir soon drapes them over April's form. ]

Next time, be sure to take better care. Unlike us elves, you "humans" are quite prone to disease and illness.

[April just blinks in surprise as he does all this, uncertain of what to do. She soon glances to the side, looking unsure and nervous; April is not used to being tended to and she's not sure what to say about all this.]

Um, r-right...

... I-I'm sorry...

You better be sorry.

[ Haldir muttered under his breath as he eyed the girl with such a frown. ]

The next time we meet, I certainly do hope you'll be in good health. Now, is there anything you require? Tea perhaps? Food?

[She sighs and reaches to rub her forehead with her hand.] I will be, this is just power backlash... A-and no, it's fine, I don't need anything.

[ The elf blinked his eyes owlishly at that answer. ]

A power backlash...?

[Now she glances back up at him.] ... When I was trying to create the wireless network, I was using my powers to do it. But I wasn't able to, so I kept trying and trying and it eventually backfired on me. And that's why I've got a really bad headache.

... I imagine if I hadn't stopped, I would have seriously done damage to myself.

You kept pushing yourself to the brink of exhaustion all for the sake of a promise made?

[ By now Haldir found a nearby chair and was perched upon it as he spoke with April. ]

Quite noble but foolish of you.

Maybe, but... I don't like letting people down. [Her voice gains some firmness as she says this.] I always try to keep my promises, no matter what.

[ A small smile settled on the elf's lips as he regarded April with a thoughtful gaze. Possessing a respectable quality that most humans don't have, Haldir found himself somewhat liking this hard-nosed mutant. ]

Fair enough, but next time do take better care of yourself or else I will be forced to drag you to your bed again.

[ That's definitely a "promise" on his part if April decides to get a little reckless again. ]

[She blinks at him in surprise, before giving a sheepish laugh.]

Aha, r-right, I'll make sure to take better care of myself, s-so you won't have to do that again.

Excellent!

[ He seems rather pleased with her answer. ]

Now that is settled, shall tea suffice? You look as if you could use a brew of something warm or would you rather have some water instead?

[She blinks at him again and shakes her head.]

Ah, n-no, it's alright... You don't have to do that...

You said that once before and nearly collapsed into a dead heap.

[ He gives her a worried glance. ]

Are you so certain you don't need my aid?
