[Sinclair lets Oria settle him, too groggy and achey to protest. He likes this pampering...He turns away to cover his mouth and muffle some chest rattling coughs]
What I'm saying is that it must have been really bad this time, with all the stressors stacking on each other. Then you just... collapsed.
[ Not to mention the nightmare last night. Oria figures it had something to do with him dying, because Sinclair almost sounded frantic about whether he was there despite wrapping his arms around Sinclair. ]
[ No standing. Bed only. Oria gets up to do his thing and when he comes back, he looks a lot more presentable. He also brought a hairbrush and some wet wipes for Sinclair's face. He is gently applying that to clean his face and brushes the fluffy hair. It doesn't take long at all.
One notable difference is that the neck scar can't be seen when Oria returned. Makeup is powerful. The scar had gotten darker lately. ]
[Ah. Sinclair tilts his head to study Oria's neck as Oria helps him clean up and brush out his hair. His hair is certainly fluffy, but it doesn't tangle at all on the brush.]
[ Sinclair frowns. But he doesn't argue with Oria because it is a painful reminder that he knows Oria didn't need to see every day. Despite the head-stuffed-with-wool feeling, Sinclair reaches up to cup Oria's cheek.]

Well, now that it's here, he has to eat it.]
no subject
[ Oria takes the bowl, scoops a spoonful, and holds it out to Sinclair. ]
Say ahhh~
no subject
Ahh...?
no subject
Good boy.
[ Oria looks a little smug as he feeds him again. ]
no subject
[But still, Sinclair eats dutifully. It's nicer when Oria is feeding him]
no subject
[ Oria continues to feed Sinclair until there's nothing left. ]
We should at least get you to sit up on the bed while you rest... let me make an incline with pillows.
[ So he puts the empty bowl down and goes to make a comfortable backrest for Sinclair that is made of several pillows. ]
no subject
Thanks...
[Ughhhh he hates being sick]
no subject
You must have really mentally overworked yourself.
no subject
Mm? I wonder...maybe. I don't think so...?
[Or maybe his natural state of being is stress...]
no subject
... I feel like you're just stressed all the time.
[ Comes with being anxious constantly too. Probably. He wonders if Sinclair could only truly rest when he was with him. ]
no subject
It's not like I'm in charge of anything though?
[But it does come hand in hand with his anxious state. Always worrying if his next move is the best move...]
no subject
[ He knows you think a lot, Sinclair!! Oria hands Sinclair a cup of water. ]
You basically thought yourself to sickness.
no subject
I've been worried without getting sick before.
no subject
[ A small wry smile is on Oria's face. ]
What I'm saying is that it must have been really bad this time, with all the stressors stacking on each other. Then you just... collapsed.
[ Not to mention the nightmare last night. Oria figures it had something to do with him dying, because Sinclair almost sounded frantic about whether he was there despite wrapping his arms around Sinclair. ]
So that's why it's resting time.
no subject
I'll be good.
[Though he'll get fidgety at some point.]
no subject
[ He leans in to give him a kiss on the forehead. ]
Let me do my morning routine and I'll come to help with yours. It won't be long.
no subject
[Sinclair hums his agreement, staying put even if part of him wants to crawl out of bed and follow. He can stand on his own. Probably.]
no subject

no subject
[Ah. Sinclair tilts his head to study Oria's neck as Oria helps him clean up and brush out his hair. His hair is certainly fluffy, but it doesn't tangle at all on the brush.]
You're covering it up with make up?
no subject
[ Simple, right? But no, Oria doesn't want it to be seen so easily. It's a hideous reminder and Oria would rather not remember if he could. ]
no subject
It doesn't hurt still?
[ That's his concern...]
no subject
[ Oria reaches out and lightly taps Sinclair's arm with a finger. ]
—it hurts a lot for the sensitive areas.
no subject
...then doesn't the make up make it hurt?
[He had been particularly careful with touching Oria's neck because the scar did look painful...]
no subject
Putting it on hurt a bit, but I'm fine.
no subject
Mm...then, if it bothers you less...
[ He snuggles a little closer]
