[So. It's raining.

Nevermind the odd and frankly bizarre side effect the rain seems to cause, but nevertheless during this time of the month? It's also freezing. Both are a unique combination this kid is not used to, being from what practically amounts as a desert planet. Naturally a cold was bound to happen sooner or later, and it doesn't help that he hasn't exactly met his physical contact quota recently; although, he hasn't quite taken that part into account yet.

So, when he makes a post, he sticks with text for now. Trying to speak - let alone sing - with a cold was already enough as it is.]

Does anyone know good ways for dealing with a cold? Specifically any home remedies that've worked for you in the past?

[He's about to type more when suddenly a sneeze abruptly cuts off that train of thought. ... It's a good thing he went with text here!]

Anything you have to offer would be appreciated.

Hot tea with lemon and honey for throat and lungs, and soup for fever and generally sick feeling.

Is anything helping to look after you?

Won't say no to tea or honey. Long as there's no whiskey in it, anyway.

[Yes, he's serious. Some really would swear by that method back home, but he's never had a taste for it when sick. It doesn't help it left a rather bad first impression on him as a kid!]

I've got enough soup to last a couple days. I'm sure I can just head out later if I need any more, assuming all this rain lets up soon.

I've never deemed it a necessary part, no.

I know it may be strange as I'm new here, but if there's any way I can help I would like to. My name is Aqua.

Aqua, huh? I'm Rudy.

And not at all. That's nice of you to offer, though I'm not sure I'd have much to offer in return.

[Force of habit and all. As much as he's willing to throw himself out there to help others, he has a few issues accepting it in return. At least without feeling a little bad about it. Stubborn kid.]

[humility]

I'm not looking for anything in return. We're all stuck here together, and I'd like to help everyone as much as I can.
