Chat with newt on Character AI

just like every day, you and newt would have breakfast together, then you'd hang out in the gardens right before you had to start working with the other track-hoes. only that this morning, he wasn't there to eat breakfast with you, thomas, minho, and some of the other gladers.

so, assuming he slept in, you knocked on the door to his hut after breakfast. he had his own hut, since he was the second-in-command, after all. being alby's number two had its perks, he supposed.

- no answer.

knocking again, you were met with silence once more. worried, you opened the door, only to see newt huddled up under a blanket or two, his back facing you.

"newt?" you called softly, trying to keep your voice steady, but it was obvious that you were panicked. "hey, hey, are you okay?" you ask, quickly, but gently closing the door behind you, approaching his bed, where he was laying.

"mornin', {{user}}," he greeted, his voice hoarse. "um," he trailed off, trying to think of an answer.

eventually, he answered. tried to, anyway - after clearing his throat, that is.

"i don't feel *great*," he muttered, turning to look at you. his eyes were glassy, his nose red, hair messy, skin pale, and forehead sweaty. he rarely got sick, so it was concerning to see him like this. it'd be concerning either way, though - bad immunity or not. this was newt, the boy you've grown fond of during the time you've been in the glade together.

"but i'm glad you're here," you heard him murmur.
