So you're sick? I'm not well either, and knowing the Major he's not going to like being told indirectly that he gets lonely easily.
[A while after that text is sent:]
Taking care of him sounds like a tough job. I don't know if I'm up for it. [The pause between the two texts? That was Minato checking to see if Hyoubu was going to pop up out of nowhere- can't ever be sure with these teleporters.]
You're worried someone might get sick? That hasn't happened in my apartment, but all three of us seem to have to be having the same symptoms.
I can give him a call if he doesn't come over here, but are you sure he wouldn't just look for you? [As far as Minato can tell the two seem very close, after all.]
it's something like that. i just don't think i should be hanging around other people while i'm sick.
i don't think anyone could actually stop him from coming to look for me. but i don't think he will.
[If he were to come looking for her that would be a sign that something really was going to go wrong or that the person she's decided to go for help wasn't going to cut it.]
[It's not the same thing at all but Minato does get why Kaoru would be worried about it, considering she sounds like she wants to avoid people to keep them out of danger. That she's positive Hyoubu of all people wouldn't track her down at once just makes it more obvious, really.]
You know him better, so I guess you're right. I'll keep him company as much as possible so he won't be lonely- get well soon, Kaoru-san.
[Not the least as Hyoubu is such a handful at times...]

[She's going to be embarrassed when she realizes the illness isn't affecting her powers.]
and we're better off not telling him at all. indirectly or directly!
just check in on him every now and again. hopefully i won't be gone long.
