when they're sick

(Preference: how they are when they're sick)

Adam Banks: Just like when he's injured, Adam will do his best to hide any kind of illness. He's a bit of an expert at hiding colds but anything worse is typically easy to spot after a few days. It takes a bit of work on your end to get him to slow down and take proper care of himself but he becomes a total koala when he finally gives in. He relaxes completely when you run your fingers through his hair in a comforting pattern.

Charlie Conway: Tries to hide the fact that he's sick but inadvertently makes it super obvious. His excuses are almost comical (ie. 'Sick? No way! I always puke after watching 'Party of Five'.' or 'I don't have a fever. I was just standing too close to the microwave!'). He's an okay patient but getting him to stay still is almost a 24/7 job. He can usually be coaxed into relaxing with the promise of videotapes and his favorite snack though.

Guy Germaine: Downplays being sick as to not worry you but doesn't fight too hard when you put your foot down. He sleeps a lot the first few days so your job is to make sure he has plenty of water at hand and keep things quiet (ie. keep the other Ducks from barging in constantly). He loves listening to you read to him and finds your voice extremely soothing.

Greg Goldberg: Biggest baby of the bunch. Even anything as small as the sniffles, he might as well have the plague. He's always too hot, too cold, the blanket's too itchy, the soup doesn't have enough noodles, etc. He makes you want to smack him more than a handful of times but you love the big lug! Plus you know that if you were the one who was sick, he'd dote on you just as much, if not more.

Lester Averman: He doesn't exactly hide being sick but he makes light of it all with almost constant jokes. Between blowing his nose and coughing up a lung, he'll joke how he's ready to run a marathon. You've lost track of how many times you've heard the 'how do you make a tissue dance' joke whenever he's sick. When it's just to two of you, though, the jokes lessen and he's more relaxed.

Luis Mendoza: He's not as bad as Goldberg but he tends to play up any illness for attention from you. He really enjoys being babied by you even though the others make fun of him for it. He will sometimes fake being sick even after he's feeling better just to keep you close for a little while longer. It doesn't usually last too long once you remind him that you can't kiss him as long as he's sick.

Dwayne Robertson: The easiest to handle of the bunch when he's sick. He usually does a really good job of taking care of himself in general so he doesn't get sick very often. Even when he does, he's a total trooper. Doesn't make a fuss about taking medicine, drinks plenty of fluids, and overall is a model patient! He's usually good as new in a week or so.
