Fourth Verse: Video

[wall_flower]

[Hello, Digital World! Here's Hawkmon with Marley's D-Terminal! He's actually being relatively quiet, speaking only as a conversational level this time.]

Good morning. I am Hawkmon. I just would like to take the time out to welcome all of the new Chosen to the city. If there's anything you need, feel free to ask. Marley would like to extend her greetings, too, but she's still sleeping, so I will say hello for her. She'd be more than welcome to help any way she can.

[Now that that part is over, Hawkmon simply waves a wing and quickly sets up a filter. Thank you, Marley, for teaching him how to do that!]

[Filtered to Commanders Uzuki and Shepard]

I don't think Marley is feeling well. She hasn't been able to hold food down for very long at all, and she's tired and doesn't want to leave the room, and she won't let me leave either. Not even to get her a drink of water. I didn't know who else to call, and thought you would know what to do.

[dressup]

It's not a problem at all.

[She carefully sets the bowl and glass on the bed stand nearby.]

How is she feeling?

action

[wall_flower]

Tired...

[Marley wiggles some under the blankets, but other than that, she doesn't move. Hawkmon crawls up next to the lump in the blankets, and lies down.]

Is that 'Liz'beth?

[Her unfocused eyes look up at the little girl. She's pale, but doesn't look flushed or anything.]

action

[dressup]

Yes, it's me. [She takes a seat on the small free space of the bed, rolling the sleeves of her dress up.]

Can you turn your head straight so I can put this rag on your forehead? It might help a little.

action

[wall_flower]

[She nods her head slowly and rolls over onto her back. The blanket falls back some, revealing the stuffed Leomon doll she's curled up with.]

Sorry, Lizzy. You don't...have to do this.

action

[dressup]

I'm not doing it because I have to, I am doing it on my own choice.

[She squeezes the extra water out of the rag, folding it to fit it on Marley's forehead.]

Even if we known each other for a short time, your well-being is important to me.

action

[wall_flower]

[Hawkmon simply curls up against Marley's side as he watches Lizzy work. It seems to bring some comfort to Marley, both the rag and Hawkmon's presence; she closes her eyes and sighs, relaxing some on the bed.]

I'll...be okay. I'm just tired now. [A beat.] Thank you.

action

[dressup]

Have a sip of water once you rest up a little.

[She picks up Dorumon from the floor, who has been waiting patiently and quietly for most of the time.]

After you rest some more, I will bring something small for you to try to eat. Okay?

action

[wall_flower]

[A small smile touches Marley's lips as she opens her eyes.]

You're a sweetheart, Lizzy. Know that?

Yes, yes, that and more.

action

[dressup]

[She giggles at the comment.]

You are sweet too, Marley! Hawkmon, Baron, and I will do our best to take good care of you while you are sick.

action

[wall_flower]

Thank you...

[Marley closes her eyes and tries to snuggle into the covers.]

Really. Thank you.
