[There's really no good answer as to why Anders is on deck. He's looking pale, and he seems to be shivering despite the extra jacket he's put on, and his eyes are glassy and unfocused. He's also not moving as quickly as he normally does, but he's looking just as - if not more - determined despite that. The rain, at least, has stopped for now, but that just means there's even more to do, a deck to be swabbed and ropes to checked for rot and damage. And he has a hard time leaving work undone.

Five minutes into the work he's slowed down even more. Ten minutes, and he's leaning against the rail, already needing a break. But he hates being sick, hates being coped up in bed, and so it's only a few minutes before he gets right back to it. He's used to a little overwork.

He's avoiding the rest of the crew, as well. Partially because he doesn't want to get them sick, and partially because he knows they'll tell him to go below deck and rest if they realise he's caught something. But it's just a cold (says his professional opinion, which is always reliable when it comes to everyone else and not so much when it's about himself), and it shouldn't kill him. And without him around, how much work will really get done, anyway?]


[ooc note: if anyone prefers a thread from when he's already in his hammock and feeling miserable, or idk finding him trying to make tea and spilling it all over himself, that is also more than okay /o/ ]
