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.

A small vacation then. There are few options but there are options. I doubt the amusement park appeals to either of us, but there is the hot springs, or simply the park.

Or did you have something else in mind? Perhaps a sudden youthful impulse to spend the day at the arcade?

I could do without anything overly fabricated. A quiet place with wind or the smell of the ocean would suffice.

Though what would you prefer?

I think a quiet place with a view of the sea could be arranged.

And I thought I made myself clear. I wish to spend my time spoiling you silly.

[He bops him on the nose.]

I'm simply giving options, my dear, options that I would find pleasing. No need for that.

[Did he just get booped he did hold on he needs to reset.]

[rebooting]

[And we're not addressing that it's too silly]

No need for what? My stated preference to treat you? But very well, perhaps you need to stay actively involved to be reassured.

Being fussy.

Have no fear. I will be pampered, content, and bask in your presence. Nothing at the moment will give me greater joy.

[He kind of looks at Emet-Selch and then he has to shake his head and serve him pancakes. Obviously in a good mood though.]

Well, do not blame me when you whine for attention and I reply "but you need only bask in my presence for your contentment" somewhere in the future.

[He passes him the plate, pancakes and half an omelette.]

[Taking both the plate and the fork with a flourish of arms open wide.]

But you enjoy it when I complain. I daresay you find it endearing, do you not?

[Taking a bite off Lahabrea's plate before finding a spot to sit.]

[He picks up his own plate and joins Emet, and why not, he steals a bite from his plate. He can act young if he wants!]

I do. For some reason or other, all your antics do endear you to me.

Then everyone wins. How delightful.

[He does watch him carefully while he eats. He's still worried after all.]

An outing, you said. I know I gave vague suggestions about wind and the ocean, but I do mean it when I say I would like to get out. This place can get stuffy and dark after all.

[He is not unaware he's being watched but look, he is eating normally, without picking at his food. He even wags his fork at Emet after a bite.]

I know you will be hovering but I assure you I am as well as I have ever been. Out sounds good though. I was thinking in the evening but we could go shortly and find somewhere shaded if you prefer. I would spend the day in your company, the location matters less to me. But a change of scene can be invigorating. On the beach or near it somewhere you can nap perhaps.
