Elliot listened to him faintly, "That second idea sounds like a good one," he forced himself to sit up fully and after a second he pulled himself off the bed, his legs were a bit shaky, as he stumbled across the room almost as he was drunk. "It's like the room is spinning." he said as he reached out for something to stabilize himself.

With Velonin's help Elliot made it to the bathroom, he now stood there barely able to keep his eyes open on his own. He sat himself on the closed toilet seat, and pulled back some of his hair, "I think so... I'm not sure..." he finished, "I'm pretty dizzy." Elliot's mind was a haze it was even hard for him to concentrate on what actually was going on. "Don't worry about me." he mumbled feeling bad.

"Yeah... alright, you're right." Elliot managed to stand, not really caring at this point he removed his briefs although he did hide himself best he could. He wasn't really shy about his body, and he had been in many locker rooms before so he didn't find this much different. He then turned and stepped into the tub slowly and sat down letting the cold water rush over him.

Elliot sighed leaning back in the tub, "This is better... well I think anyway." He moved his arms to the side of the tub letting his body become nearly limp in the tub. "Sorry, I'm such a bother... really thank-you." Elliot looked up to Velonin who sat beside him, "Can you see if its working?" He wanted him to feel his forehead to see if his temperature was going down.

"That's a relief, I didn't want to have you bother taking me to the hospital..." he leaned back with a small smile on his face, "Besides I'm not that sick anyway." After sometime his dizziness went away which was much more comforting, at this time his fingers began to wrinkle.

"Well now that I look like a prune, I should probably get out." The wrinkles were quite visible now as he reached to pull the plug on the tub. "Sorry to keep you up, and everything..." It was now the middle of the night.

"Uh... no I think I'll be alright..." he began to get up slowly, it wasn't his dizziness anymore that was the issue. While getting up he thought he caught Velonin staring at his body, but wasn't quite sure, although he figured it wouldn't be that hard to not look at it, seeing as he was naked. In mid thought as he was stepping out of the tub he lost his balance for a second and began to fall into Velonin.

Luckily Velonin caught him, but now he felt guilty as he was sure that he had got him all wet, "Oh god," Elliot said managing to get his balance, "I'm sorry, I'm such an idiot," he backed away pulling his wet hair back, "Now I've gotten you all wet, haven't I?" There was clearly a big wet mark on Velonin's clothing. He reached for a towel hanging near by and wrapped it around his waist.

"Thank-you though." He said with a smile, Elliot's voice was sincere. With that he walked out of the bathroom to the bedroom. After finding his pyjama pants he threw off his towel onto the bed, and slid them on, that was as much as he could bear wearing this night. Instead of going straight to his bed he paced over to the window and gazed outside, he enjoyed looking at a city or town at night, the lights were always beautiful.

(I'm off to bed!)

((Night!))

Velo scuttled over to his still mostly-unpacked belongings and began to dig in one of the suitcases. He grabbed some fresh clothes and then ambled off, back to the bathroom. He changed quickly and then came back out, in old blue sweat pants and a tight-fitting black tank top.

Elliot didn't turn to see Velonin walk into the room, he was too busy gazing outside and because the window had been open, he listened to cars go by in the distance. He then leaned his forehead against the cold glass which also soothed him as he let out a heavy sigh.

Elliot had no idea what to expect from this year, but something about right now felt good. It was like he was able to start over completely fresh, his roommate Velonin had no idea about any of his past, or what he used to be. Elliot was free of being judged, and he wouldn't be assumed to be stupid, but people could respect him here.

Elliot turned around slowly when he heard Velonin in the background, he was a bit embarrassed by the corny act of daydreaming out the window. So he moved to his bed and leaned against the wall with a sigh, at which then he spoke, "Although that bath was nice... I don't think I'll ever get to sleep now."

This was true, as the water relieved his illness it had also awoken all his senses and his body no longer felt heavy and exhausted.

Elliot felt lazy just now, it was always his mind that kept him up more than anything else. He answered lazily, "What kind of game?" sure it was an odd question coming from a gamer, but he could only do so much right now, and he wasn't sure if he was up to losing dramatically.

"Yeah, you know what, you can pick one, I'll be good." Elliot gave in, and he now knew that Velonin realized his state, and wouldn't pick something too hard to deal with. He moved himself now beside Velonin on his bed waiting for him to make a decision, as he did so he actually looked at Velonin more closely for the first time.
