[Sometimes it's easier to not argue about it. Especially since he has a point. As to the request-- oh gods Ethlyn you have no idea what you're getting into]
heartier? i...think i can do that. give me an hour or so to grab a few things and then i'll stop by
i'm gonna hold you to that, alright? if i come by and you're not, i'm gonna have some words for you
[He notes the address, and a little over an hour later, knocks on the door. As promised, he's got a bag of stuff -- he doesn't look entirely certain of what he's put together, but the smells coming from the bag are all pretty good, even if they don't quite go together.]
I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a lecture--I give too many myself.
[True to her word, she stays at home for the next hour, even if she can think of a dozen things that she could be doing right now. Even so, she ends up tidying the kitchen because only so long she can sit and read when there's one glass not put away.
When she hears the knock and opens the door, she's surprised to see Noel with a sizeable bag--but she smiles, happy to see him looking well in body if not in spirit.]
Noel! Welcome--I don't know what you brought, but it smells good.
[If it looks like Noel went around to several different food carts and vendors to get a good variety of things...well, that's because he did. Breaded fish and pickled vegetables wrapped in tortillas, garlicky mushroom skewers, spicy onion soup, and a warm cheese sandwich with tomatoes. None of it goes together at all, but Noel has absolutely no idea about it.]
I wish I could take the credit, but most of this is way beyond my cooking skills. Hopefully it'll taste good, though. [hahaha. ha. ha...] How are you feeling?
[Ethlyn's eyes widen as Noel pulls more and more out of his bag. It's all--well it still all smells good, but there are so many now, mingling with each other.]
Oh--my goodness, this is definitely a step up from peanut butter sandwiches! A lot of steps. [She laughs and gestures to the table.] Why don't we share it?
[Although in partial answer to his question, she takes a seat as soon as she says that.]
I'm all right. I just lost a lot of blood out there. [Her smile gets a little more wan.] There's not much you can do to speed that up.

All right, thank you. I'll take a real break, too! I'll be at the boarding house near the clinic.
[She puts the address down, in case he doesn't know where it is.]
