Haytham is startled to find that Connor is surprisingly susceptible to illness. Though maybe it shouldn't be so surprising; after all, he was born and raised in a distant native village, and then later grew up on an isolated homestead populated by very few people. When he starts to travel to major cities, he easily picks up whatever illness that the colonists are passing around.

Connor is used to it, and usually just crawls to the nearest inn and hides out until he's well. When this happens while they're working together, Haytham has an attack of conscience and, much to Connor's displeasure, decides that he can't let Connor weather it alone.

Then he realizes how boring nursing a sick person is. Shenanigans ensue.

Bonus Points:
- Connor is too tired to retort to any of Haytham's snark. Haytham takes advantage of Connor's weakness by annoying and pestering him to his heart's content, with Connor unable to deliver any retribution.
- Haytham attempts to hold conversations with a fever-addled Connor.
- Haytham tells Connor bedtime stories. Connor is not amused.
- Haytham returns one evening drunk, forcing Connor to roll out of bed and attend to him.
- Connor takes a turn, and Haytham finally becomes worried and *GASP* ACTS NICE.

I DON'T KNOW ANONS. I just want a silly h/c. Indulge me, please.
