[He looks off to the side as he thinks about it. Give him a minute, he's feeling a little slow.]
Not the malevolence in our world, no. There's no pressure on my chest. However, it's true that our healing spells haven't been able to do anything to cure it, and neither has any medicine worked to alleviate the symptoms. Also, there's been no fever. It could very well be a different kind of corruption we're sensing, especially if we consider that anyone else this sick is in some way spiritually aware or has a quality similar to what we have.
[The seraph looks back at Sorey, and there's a stern expression on his face.]
You're not going out to look for it. Not on your own, and certainly not right now when you can't even stand.
[ Hmhmm he'll think on all that for a moment, too. Yeah, it doesn't have the exact characteristics of their malevolence. But it does have some weird things about it that suggest it could be something comparable. ]
Y-Yeah ... Well whatever it is, it's gotta be some kind of corruption going on, even if it isn't malevolence.
[ But, ah, Mikleo ... He can agree that now isn't a good time, too. But. ]
All right, all right ... But if this keeps up, someone's gonna [ A small pause to take a deep breath, a hand starting to move to his forehead. This sickness isn't cool. ] have to do something ...
[ And Sorey intends for that someone to be himself if this continues on for too long. ]
Let's run it by the others. It doesn't hurt to at least be prepared.
[Mikleo is absolutely not surprised, despite how worried he looks when Sorey pauses like that. The sooner his best friend gets back here, the better, honestly.]
If we're going out there, then we'll need all the strength we can have. Edna and Dezel are the only ones well enough to do any sort of scouting around.
Yeah. L-Let's ask what they think and let them know we might have to take action later.
[ Hopefully something'll be done about it before they have to take action, because he's not sure how well he'll feel, but ... regardless, something has to be done! He's glad they have a couple friends who'd be able to handle it, at least. ]
A good plan. In the meantime, we rest. [He gives his friend a slightly pointed look.] Actual rest, not 'try-to-help-the-non-sick-people-take-care-of-the-sick-people.' Because I will lie or sit on you if I have to.

He looks a little embarrassed. ]
How do you know I'm gonna do that?
[ YOU HAVE NO PROOF ......... Besides your experience with his idiotic need to help everyone despite his own well-being. ]
[Video]
[He absolutely doesn't hold back.]
[Video]
W-Well — I can't just not help you, y'know. And anyone else who's sick ...
[ It's so hard not to be active and do things despite his health ... ]
[Video]
[His tone is a little gentler as he says that. Only a little, though.]
And the best way you can help me is by resting. Otherwise, I need to stop resting so that I can make sure you're okay.
[Video]
[ Don't sacrifice yourself for Sorey — ooohhh this is how Mikleo feels, huh ... Okay, he gets it. Sob. Even if he still doesn't like it. ]
—Okay, okay. I'll do my best to rest. Happy?
[Video]
I'll be happier when you're back here and feeling better.
[The water seraph kind of mutters that.]
[Video]
And he speaks gently. ]
I know. I'm sure this'll be over soon.
[ It can't go on forever. ]
[Video]
Sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. Even I've got my limits before I start getting cabin fever, too.
[Video]
Don't worry, I bet it'll be over real soon. Then we won't have to worry about any of this.
[ No more worrying about each other, or others, or the sickness ... They can go back to exploring and having fun! ]
[Video]
Just try not to cause Dezel any trouble while he gets you here.
[That's all he's going to say about that, but his smile says that he's in agreement.]
[Video]
I'll do my best.
