Note ran inside, followed closely by Judis, who had led him to the house, an not without difficulty. The boy looked down at Angelo, gratitude in his eyes. before closing the door behind him. "Ellie?" he called, taking a hesitant step as he looked around for his friend.

Angelo hopped onto Ellie's bed, hoping that Note would follow his gaze. The Umbreon let out an Umbreon-distinctive bark, pacing around the sleeping girl's feet. The blond groaned, though not awoken by the entrance of the other teenager. She bangs covered her face which was red and warm to the touch. The Dark Type looked up at Note hopefully. He could help, right?

Note's eyebrows rose with worry, and he quickly brought Judis back in his Pokéball and came to Ellie's bedside, kneeling beside her. "Ellie," he said softly, putting his hand to her cheek. He was stunned by how warm she was to the touch; concern shown in his blue-green eyes. "Can you hear me?"

Ellie's eyes began to flutter open as she heard an oddly familiar voice echo in her ears. It took a minute for her foggy, cluttered gaze to make out the shape of an old spark she'd missed so much. "Note..." she said softly, a small smile pursed on her lips. "I-I'm sorry you have to see me this way," the blond croaked, embarrassed to the maximum by her current situation. With all the heat and numbness scorching through her body, she only now noticed the placement of her friend's hand. Was it possible for her cheeks to heat up more than they already were? It appeared so.

The boy frowned deeply. "That's not important, what's imporant is that you're really sick. You're burning up..." He turned, pulling from his bag a vial of medicine. It was a simple fever reducer, nothing that would help her fight the illness, but he hoped it would help. He poured out the correct dosage and held it to her lips. "Drink this."

Ellie watched as he took out a vial of medicine and pressed it against her lips. She blinked at him, staring at the medicine before tilting up her chin and letting it slip down her throat. Once the vial was empty, she shuddered. She'd never liked the taste of medicine. "Thank you," she murmured, wincing as she suppressed another fit of coughs.

"How long have you been like this?" he asked, putting the vial away and looking at her worriedly. It seemed like if she was this sick, she had to have been sick for a while. Why hadn't she tried to get a hold of him sooner? Or why hadn't Tunes?
Tunes. Where was she!? He didn't bother to look around. In her note, she had not been sick. Ellie was his main priority right now, sis sister had always been able to take care of herself.

"I-I can't remember... I thought just a week or something but whenever I say that, Angy glares at me..." she noted, glancing at the Umbreon who nodded his head briefly. "All I know is that it's been going on like this for a while--" She coughed, but sealed her lips so others couldn't escape. She felt her chest get stuffy and she almost felt clogged. Fighting this sickness was worse than anything she'd ever been through. A solitary tear slipped down her cheek.

Note did not flinch away from her. He bit his lip and gingerly picked up the wet cloth that Angelo had laid across her throat. He quickly went to soak it again and laid it on her forehead, pushing the her bangs out of her face and gently removing her lone tear with his thumg. "I'll make you better, Ellie. Somehow..."

Ellie sniffled pathetically, her chest shaking as she felt herself break down. "Note," she whimpered, her limp form tensing up. She wanted to hug him -- give him a proper hello. They hadn't seen each other in a year and this was their pitiful reunion. "I missed you... a lot," she confessed, more tears building up in her sky-blue eyes.

He slowly smiled at her, though he still felt completely helpless. But it was good to see his friend again... even if it was not under the best circumstances. "I missed you, too, Ellie. A lot."

Her heart swelled. So he'd missed her, too? A fuzzy feeling spread through her body and she inwardly cursed at herself for the sleep that tugged at her once more. "I don't think you can even imagine how much hearing that means to me," she murmured, a small, sickly smile tugging on her lips. "Spending a year without you was like hell. It was worse than being sick..." She stopped herself from yawning and instead cringed at the tiredness. Glancing up at him before she knew sleep would envelope her, she whispered, "Note, I think I might be in--" but she was asleep before she could finish her sentence.

He stared at her, uncomprehending, as she drifted off asleep. For a long moment he kneeled there, watching her tired face, and as the impact of the words she spoke hit him, he felt his face start to heat up. He meant that much to her?
EV, watching with only partial understanding, flattened her ears as the boy's face started to redden. "My trainer is an idiot," she muttered.

Angelo furrowed his brow. ("No doubt,") he agreed, staring down the blond-haired boy. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least he was a nice guy. ("I just hope he takes what she said to heart. I know Ellie better than most and I can assure you this took a lot of guts, even while under the influence of the illness,") he somewhat growled as if threatening the other Trainer. If he hurts Ellie, I'll skin him!

Upon hearing the Umbreon growl he looked up, and then lowered his eyes. He slowly stood, looking down at Ellie as if seeing her in a new light.
Chance coughed on the bed, ad EV raised her head, looking at the little EV nervously. Note turned, and when he saw Chance he frowned. "I didn't bring any Pokémon medicine," he said, casting his Flareon mix an apologetic gaze.
She read the look on his face and growled. "Of course. Nothing for the us."
