It started out fine...

She was fourteen when the area karate regionals came around. Never mind the fact that it was early December, and her mid-terms were coming up, and she was still trying to come to terms with her new breast size. Like an idiot she said she'd be there, layered on sports bras, and trotted to the gym.

The fights were simple exhibitions, points awarded on execution and touches rather than beating an opponent into the ground. In her third bout Aya was getting tired, and her opponent, a human from two towns over she'd met in the ring before, was as well. That was probably why things went wrong.

Three points in he flubbed a spin kick and his ankle buckled, making the attacking foot lash in an unexpected direction. She didn't get a block up in time and he tagged her hard on the ribs, taking them both to the floor. The referee blew his whistle, hard, halting all conversation as paramedics came forward to access injuries.

One cracked ankle on his side.

Two cracked ribs on hers.

They both managed to facepalm at the same time when it was announced they were unfit to continue. "Next year," they mouthed at each other around the pained wincing as they were bandaged.

Dilan sighed and cupped her hand in both of his, "It can be deadly, monkey, if it's not caught early and not taken care of. We caught yours early, and you're going to take care, so you'll be fine. We're going to keep you all wrapped up and babied until you hate us, but it's for the best."

"I know." Dilan said, "I don't want you to have it. We're going to take care of you...you're going to feel awful, but we'll be there the whole time. You can order us around like Braig does when he's sick."

"Probably some of them." Dilan agreed, "It depends on how your stomach is doing."

"Yup." Dilan said, "And sometimes you might be nauseas if you're not breathing very well, or the fever could make you not up to eating things."

"Evolution did it's best, monkey." Dilan said, with a wry grin, "Oh, Braig's back."

Braig tossed the baggie of medicine into Aya's lap, "Lots of stuff for you to read, Aya. We'll read it too, of course."

"Yup." Dilan said, "Broken leg. It was just a baby dose, but you got past the reaction and were fine."

"For humans, yeah." Dilan said, "Not for Olia."

Braig grinned, "And, like. Having me sleep more would almost be impossible."

"Yup." Dilan said, ruffling her hair as Braig headed down the street to home. "Does it say anything about full or empty stomach?"

"Duh." the boys chorused, Dilan continuing, "We're not letting you get sicker!"

"Better not." Braig said, pulling into home.

Dilan got out and held his arms for her.

"Everything takes more out of you when you're sick." Braig said as Dilan picked her up, "I'll get you a glass of milk...want a snack with it?"

"I know." Braig said, "I know. It'll be okay."

Dilan tucked her back into bed, letting her stay in the sweats and his shirt if she wanted to, and grabbed the book she'd been reading to read to her for a while.

A few minutes later Braig showed up with a sliced apple and a ham sandwich. Totally a snack.
