Shiro slept like a log while the food was cooking. But soon he woke up, splayed out on the couch. But his face was still hot. His whole body was. Maybe he did have a fever... But something smelled really good. Was someone cooking? He couldn't remember.

Maria's own stomach had started to berate her for not eating earlier, as the smell of the food she'd been cooking surrounded her. She was putting the chicken onto the two plates of rice. There were leftovers, of course, which she could put away if nobody else claimed them before they were cold. She walked back into the living room to find Shiro looking confused but awake. "You look like you woke up in space," she said, setting down a plate in front of him on the table.

Shiro looked to the plate that she set on the table. He mumbled something before starting to eat. His head was spinning from the heat. Maybe he should go back to sleep. Sleep sounded good. He was already fading fast, but he tried to stay awake long enough to finish this meal.

Maria watched Shiro carefully as he ate. She was eating, too, but only enough to satisfy her stomach. He looked disoriented, and she had a feeling he wasn't well. Once most of the food was gone from his plate, she took the fork from his hand, before pushing him back down on the couch. "Sleep," she ordered, before heading upstairs to find the elder raven.

Shiro was about to take another bite when his fork was snatched from him and he was forced back down on the couch. And unlike his attitude when he was well, he simply complied. His head was swimming and his vision was blurring. The raven didn't put up any more fight and let sleep take him. His grandfather was working in a study upstairs, signing papers and restoration projects.

Maria didn't knock on the study door, just opening it. "Something's wrong."

The elder looked up at the girl, stopping what he was doing immediately. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"I don't know. He has a fever and seems to be disoriented. He's had food and sleep, but he doesn't seem to be getting better."

The elder got up and went to Shiro, who was now shivering in his sleep. He then turned to the girl, who had likely followed him. "Please go call the healer."

Maria didn't hesitate before heading for the healer. When he saw her, he tried to tell her there was nothing he could do back when their plan to get Shiro had failed, but she dismissed it, telling him to come with her. When they arrived, Maria knelt by the couch, concerned for the raven demon.

The elder made room for the healer to see his grandson, going to make tea. Shiro lay where Maria had ordered him, shivering under the blanket, but his head still distorted from the heat of his fever. He couldn't think straight anymore and everything was a blur. What was wrong with him?

The healer began to run tests on the boy. Yes, he had a bad fever. He was certainly disoriented. The healer wasn't quite sure what it would be. [OOC:] Any ideas? I'm drawing a blank.

[OOC:] I was gonna let you be creative and come up with something. sweatdrop
The boy continued to shiver and whine softly. This was killing him. He wanted to to stop so he could sleep peacefully. "Make it... stop... please... want... sleep... make it stop...."

[OOC:] Working on it... The healer pricked the boy's finger, allowing a few drops of blood to fall into a vial, while he wiped off the finger. He took the vial and set up some of his equipment to begin tests on the blood.
Maria took Shiro's hand as he started to ask if he could sleep. She squeezed it, glancing at the healer. When would they figure out what was going on?
It didn't take long. The healer stared at what were the results only he could see, before heading to the kitchen. "Sir," the healer said to the elder.

The elder was drinking some tea, trying to calm his nerves when the healer came to him. "Yes?"
