Niko groaned slowly, bringing her knees up to her chest and trying to slide back under the covers. This was probably the worst headache she had ever had, if you ignored having literal brain parasites. She was shivering, since she had pulled off most of what she had been wearing last night.
Propping herself up as she let her eyes blink open, it took her a second to adjust to the light filtering through the window. Her throat was dry, and she forced her legs to carry her out of her room, grabbing a bathrobe on her way, aiming for the kitchen downstairs.
"Hey-" Crystal stopped her with a light hand on her chest. "No offense, but, like, you look sicker than you did with the sprites. Where're you going?"
"I'm getting water."
"Downstairs?
"Yeah."
Crystal glanced her up and down.
"I'll get it. Go back to bed."
"... Thank you."
