Excellent.

[He reaches across him placing all of his weight on him to push him back down like a very large body pillow and resting on top of him.]

[He makes a vaguely squished noise and what is he to do but go with it, arms wrapping around Emet-Selch.]

I take it I am to be your pillow until a more reasonable hour?

Truly, I could go the rest of nigh eternity without watching your form shake like that. Allow me my moment of reveling.

[Oh no. Well, he does expect this relief, it is the same as his own. Only Emet-Selch had to watch and in some ways that is always worse.

He cups Emet's cheeks and kisses his forehead.]

How could I deny you anything?

'Tis simple. You simply string two letters together, n and o.

[He smiles against his skin though.]

Goodness, I was worried they'd think to fill the void left by His Grace with some other corruption. I would not put it past them.

As simple as that? And all this time I thought there was an arcane trick to it. I shall have to start denying you immediately.

[He absolutely will not be. He runs his fingers through Emet's hair, pressing his face to the top of his head and closing his eyes, exhaling in contentment.]

Well, for a mercy we have both been spared that.

It appears I can still teach you a trick or two, old man.

[He holds him tightly, fingers digging painfully into his back for a brief moment before he realizes it.]

First things first is you should actually eat properly. Not the nibbling and gawking you've been giving food of late.

[He doesn't complain about the hold, running his fingers down Emet's back, gentle up and down along his spine.]

I will. I will make breakfast when you feel you wish to move. And ere you fuss further, I shall ensure I redouble my efforts at looking after my health to make up for the last few days of languor.

[He sighs content arching into the touch just a little.]

I suppose I can expunge the last few days of your record. Neither you or I expected this.

[He props up an elbow finally.]

Well, congratulations, you've finally given me a reason to get out of bed. Up you go.

A momentous occasion indeed.

[He sits up, kissing Emet-Selch on the temple before sliding from bed.]

Any requests?

You are the one with the large appetite. At least, I would hope. Surprise me.

Do you need company?

Only if you wish it. It is a rare opportunity where I am offering to bring you breakfast while you lounge in bed, however.

[He considers it for a moment before he swings his legs over the edge of the bed.]

As much as you've been craving my presence as of late, the reverse is also true. I do feel a little isolated when I am not at your side.

Then I welcome your company.

[He offers his hand to tug Emet fully out of bed.]

[Being tugged to his feet he does scratch down Lahabrea's back lightly before following him into the kitchen.

And surprisingly he does get on the side of the counter that looks like he'll actually be helping.]

[He gives him an amused look as he starts to get out things for pancakes. Stopping when the ingredients are assembled and turning to reach up and cup Emet-Selch's cheeks.]

Can't stay far from me, can you?

Please, as much as my presence has been a comfort for you, your presence has been a comfort for me. That is who this works.

[Pancakes .... don't require a lot of prep work such as chopping so RIP. But that doesn't prevent him from leaning in the touch.]

And you just healed recently. I will not have you overdo it.

Well do I know it.

[That is fine he's no just feeding them pancakes. He will let go of Emet-Selch to separate out a few things for omelettes. Half an omelette each should be a nod to nutrition.]

Besides, I confess I like this better, working beside you. Though you will have to let me spoil you when you feel more settled.

I do not mean to be difficult, but it will take sometime to get that image out of my head. If it ever leaves.

[Well he can at least do the cleaning of finished dishes as he preps. That will help with idle hands.]

[He will also quietly pass tasks for Emet when he seems unoccupied. Well does he know what it is like to be restless and in need of something to keep busy.]

You are not being difficult, my dear friend. Whatever it takes to alleviate your concern I would do gladly. Whether it be pampering you or keeping you occupied at my side.

[What a pal! He does smile when he finally catches on to what Lahabrea is doing.]

And there are no lingering side effects to your knowledge?

[Between them breakfast will shape up!]

I have only just woken, I will be monitoring my own state, but so far the only change I currently feel is an incredible lightness and relief.

[He runs his hands up and down his back when he has a spare moment between tasks clearly thrilled with the answer.]

Well, you have been cooped up in your room for the last few days. What would you like to do with your new found energy?

[He does smile over his shoulder as he starts the pancakes.]

I think I would like to spend time with you. As I said, I would like to pamper you. You have spent the last while worrying over me, I would have us both relax.

I would like to get out of BARiTONES as comfortable as the place is. Something simply away would be nice.
