shivering and shaking — o, sickness

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

how could you just walk away and leave me here?

Atbash knew that prior to the whole 'getting attacked by Caesar' thing that happened, Aizawa had been sick. He had been infected by the prey that the humans contaminated before they moved to the village, though Atbash at first thought he was getting better, since he took up the challenge of going on the patrol for the Weekly Task she gave him. She still felt a bit bad for making him do that, but if he honestly and truly thought he couldn't do it, then he would have said something, right? Besides, it didn't seem like Melantha and Aizawa himself blamed her for ordering him to do so despite being sick.

Atbash had slowly built up the courage to walk around, though she still was a bit wobbly as she walked. Her arms and legs still felt terribly weak and she was placed each paw down carefully as she walked. But at least she was slowly gaining confidence to make her way out of the medicine den and back into her own room. She was on her way to her room when she heard Aizawa climbing into the hammock in his room, and the she-cat poked her head in. "Aizawa?" She called out to him. "Is-is everything okay?" Had he gotten worse in those days she stayed in the medicine den? It seemed like that, but she was really hoping that wasn't the case.
