Sander was about to reply to Alex's question when Professor Fuller woke up and began to speak? What irritated him most about this whole illness thing? A lot!! But what irritated him the most? Sander paused to think even as he picked up the hand mirror and looked at his reflection looking back at him.

Tessa was aging more gracefully than he was. But then to him, she would always look beautiful to him, no matter whether she had wrinkles and grey hair. As for himself, that was another matter.

Sander reviewed all his current ailments and narrowed it down, until he had the worse of the worst. The one thing he wanted to fix first. Raising his hand he gave his answer.

"Professor, the thing that irritates me the most and the one I want fixed first is this achy, tired feeling. It's like I can't walk, sit or stand without feeling my bones aching. Whatever position I'm in, I can't seem to get comfortable." Sander told the Professor.

...and no he wasn't whining.
