Um, wow, that sounds a lot more serious than ice cream kinda sick...
Did you talk to the doctor about it or anything? They are doing amazing things with technogology these days! Like, putting frog hands on people? It's pretty awesome, and I am sure they can make you feel better.
And if they give you a lollipop, get a green one, and not that asshole watermelon kind.
Oh, I guess that's still okay... He might not be trustworthy or anything, because trustworthy people have lollipops, but if he can help you, that would be really cool!
I guess if you really wanted it? I dunno, it sounds like a crackass theory, but... yeah. Yeah, okay, I guess I'll try a little bit now and you can tell me if it's bad? But you can't look.
[ so instead of turning off the video for voice, he hastily covers the screen with his hand, but small slits of light still filter in through his fingers
he starts experimentally humming (because now is better than later, right! and he has a memory of a short-tempered goldfish) in a hoarse, soft, and really embarrassed way because holy fucknuts does he feel like an asshat but he still hums a haunting refrain that sounds a little wispy and a little sad, like the feeling of loss ]
[ He says 'don't look' and so she doesn't, actually going so far as to cover her own device with her hands, fingers placed carefully so as not to muffle the sound. She waits until the refrain peters out, until his voice — warbly and fleetingly sullen — wavers and then quiets again. ]
It was fun! As long as you don't look, I mean, I probably look like a huge ass doing it.
But I guess I'll only hum when I know you'll hear it, so it's okay. You can call me any time! Or drop by my room and if Dave is there you can kick him out.

I do not mean to be a huge gigantic dickwad to you either, but I was really really worried?

[ It means you care. A beat. ]
I've been better.

Shit, did they kill you, because that would really suck and I would kiss you but I guess I don't need to do that but oh, wow.

The jump's made me sick. That's all.

At length: ]
Ask Dundee to help.
[ The last thing she wants is John setting the kitchen on fire on her account. ]

What sort of sick are you feeling, though? The headache sick? Stomachache sick? Sad sick?
[video]
[ Not enough noise. ]

Dr. Watson doesn't have lollipops.

I guess I really just want you to be okay?

[ Aberdeen does as far as giving a short nod. ]
You can hum for me later.
[video]
Does that help you?

Where did you learn that song?
[video]
Did it make you feel better?
[video]
It did. [ After a long moment she adds something of a stilted: ] Thanks.
