A few days later, Burke's room...

Emily: *doing some doctor things and checking up on Burke*

Burke: How does it look, doc?

Emily: You're a lot better now. In fact, I think you could get up and walk around now. Maybe you should just stick to walking around in your room though. In a few more days, you can go back to living a normal life.

Burke: Could I play duo hunters?

Emily: I don't advise that... You're still a bit weak, so it will be easy to get sick again. Patience is key. You only have to wait a little longer.

Burke: I'm very desperate, doc. All these days in bed is boring.

Emily: I understand that, but it's for your own good. Please listen to me and stay put.

Burke: Fine, fine... At least my grandson makes my day a bit brighter...

Emily: Yeah, see? Things are never boring with Robbie around.

Burke: I suppose so. He's a great kid.

Emily: He is. Except that he speaks a little odd...

Robbie: *bursts in*

Robbie: I heard my name. Who wants to see me?

Emily: Nobody wanted you to come, but I guess that you could play with Burke, since you're already here. Burke has been feeling bored, lately.

Robbie: Bruv, I ain't free, you know? Don't use my name like it's nothing. Anyways, gramps, what you wanna do?

Burke: I don't know, kiddo. Is there anything you want to do?

Emily: I'll leave now. Robbie, tell me if something happens to Burke.

Robbie: Of course, fam.

Emily: Thank you. Then, I'll see you later.

Robbie: See ya, gee.

Burke: Bye, doc, thanks for everything!

Emily: *nods at Burke, then leaves*

Robbie: You know, grandpa, there IS something I wanna do. Like, why don't we go get some people to join our 2v8 match?

Burke: I can't leave my room for a few more days, doc's orders.

Robbie: Come on, gramps, it's just walking around and asking people to play with us. It will be good for you. You need some exercise, bruv, look at you.

Burke: *looks at his stomach*

Burke: I think I got thinner...

Robbie: You look dead, fam.

Burke: Don't jinx it, boy.

Robbie: I mean- You be looking so pale and fat that you look like a bloody zombie. And that ain't right, gramps. Go stare at the sun or something, gee.

Burke: That would hurt my eyes, child...

Robbie: You just need to go outside. You legit scare me, bruv.
