[The holodeck seems to be a little like that one toy you get at Christmas which every kid wants to have a go at playing with, and if the surroundings visible through the sphere when it starts broadcasting are any indication, Lyle is no exception to the rule.

He must have been there for a few minutes because the thing's already been set to look like a pretty normal street, with the sun's shining on it. There's a young woman standing in the middle of this setting. Even if she wasn't pretty - which she is - she wouldn't be the sort of person you'd easily miss in a crowd, with her unusual colouring - light purple hair and red eyes aren't common even in Lyle's universe.

So where's Lyle in all this? He's standing off to one side with an odd smile on his face, not really doing anything other than watching.

Oh, and he hasn't realised that his sphere's on either. :D]

[pulls away, leaving snot on his shirt (sorry Lyle) and says quietly]

Hurts.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[frowns slightly] Maybe you've gotten sick?

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

I dun get sick.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Your nose is running.

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

So?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

So that usually means that you've got a cold, unless you're about to tell me that your nose is like that all the time.

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

Dunno.

[rubs her eye and sniffles]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[hmm...]

You haven't got a temperature or anything, right? [feels her forehead]

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

Mmmm.

[leans against his hand]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

You do feel a little warm... I guess it's probably just a bad cold.

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

Not sick.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Well, even if you're not, you will be if you don't rest.

[leans against his chest, thinking, before she nods]

[alright, we're getting somewhere!] You can take my bed, I won't be using it for a while.
