[ She's worried, and it shows, but like everything else, she does her best to hide it. ]

Hanna? Where are you? [ she rubs at the back of her neck. ] I did not mean to quarrel with you, it is only that I worry for you, dear heart. Sickness is not something to be taken lightly and the thought of you -

Please just let me know that you are well, if nothing else, grant me that mercy.

[Is anything ever safe though?

Hanna coughs, sniffles a little, and then sighs.]

I could come back a little sooner.

[ she frowns, lightly, more than a frustrating to see her so sick. ]

If you would please. [ and she is so very used to getting what she wants, over bearing even when she cares. ]

I'll try to.

[But not for an hour or so because she's still stubborn. She might bring something back for them both though, soup to help them feel better.]
