Waver Velvet | Fate/ Zero | OTA

[powerthroughexperience]

I couldn't resist

[aswaitsthesky]

[Another blanket is draped over Waver's shoulders gently followed by a warm mug of fresh tea set beside the young man on the sidetable.

Shion isn't sure if the other is awake or has drifted off finally through his fever, but just in case he was awake or would waken shortly, he figured the tea would be nice to have.

That done, he glances to the food he got at the market to prepare a proper meal for his sick charge. Hmmm, should he start now or wait until he's awake so that it will be hot and fresh...?]

*Squees yay!* Sorry for the rustiness!

[powerthroughexperience]

[Be glad the patient is currently sleeping, Shion. Waver can be a bit miserable on the best of days, let alone when under the influence of a flu.

He'd been dragging himself around most of the morning before hand in a woebegone fashion, muddling through things that couldn't wait for another day before dumping himself on the couch in a heap.
Once he was well there would be an unfortunate discovery among his alchemic experiments that he'd left to sit too long in his fog, so it was lucky Shion had come along when he had.

He really was a child sometimes...

The smell of tea seemed to rouse him slightly though, it was a comforting familiar scent]

Mmm? What...?

[He pushed himself up on one elbow, rubbing one eye and glancing in the direction of the tea. How had that gotten there? People didn't get him tea, at least it wasn't often that anyone did. The Mackenzie's preferred coffee so that was the closest thing to it that he could recall being brought to him recently.]

No apologies, Shion's rusty too /hi5s

[aswaitsthesky]

[Shion had eventually decided to wait on Waver before starting food and had set about picking up here and there instead, just to help out, but when he'd gotten to the other's research and projects, well, he'd left that largely alone.

Mostly because Shion could only imagine what he may foul up if he messed with something he knew nothing about.

Not that this kept him from poking his nose into one of the books left open. Perhaps it was more than poking. Maybe he was pretty engrossed when he heard Waver stirring and it jolts him out of the reading of a foreign subject.]

Ah, you're awake! You should drink some tea. Or if you'd prefer I can get you some cool water, but I think the tea would help, should be warm still.

[Shion forgets the book is in his hands as he hurries back over, smiling gently at the other.]

How are you feeling?

[powerthroughexperience]

[It was a smart move, leaving Waver's projects alone for him to deal with later. One of them had started to bubble over and congeal on the side of its glass from where it sat on a bunsen burner.]

Shion? Ah, no! Tea should be fine.

[He mumbled through a little yawn and the covered his mouth to cough a little, blinking in surprised. When had Shion gotten there? He wrapped the blankets around his shoulders as he sat up properly so he could get the tea without spilling it. He enjoyed the slightly warm feeling from the mug in his hands and shrugged a little at the question,]

I'm freezing, but it's just a cold so I'll live I think...

[Waver groused a bit, before taking a sip of the tea. It was nice on his throat, and again, comfortingly warm. After a moment he squinted a little at the book in Shion's hand, recognizing it as the one he'd left on the table earlier that morning when he was trying to work before his current condition had gotten to him.]

Interesting book?

[aswaitsthesky]

[Shion frowns slightly at that remark about being freezing, but he supposes that's a good sign. If Waver is shivering and cold, it means his body is trying to fight it off. But he should try and keep him warm and sweat it out...

The frown disappears with a blink of surprise though before his gaze darts down to the book.]

A-Ah, eheh, caught red-handed, I guess. It is fascinating though, I have to say. But, that's not what I'm here for so... [He turns on heel and goes to replace it where he found it, though it was too bad that he lost Waver's place when he'd gotten engrossed in reading, whoops... Back to business!]

Are you feeling hungry? And do you have any other spare blankets? I feel like you probably could use at least one more.

[powerthroughexperience]

[Waver watched as Shion darted off with the book in question, shrugging a little as he didn't really mind his friend going through the book anyway. As long as he hadn't touched anything among the projects, it wasn't like he owned any cursed books or the like. Only a magus from a family of many generations tended to accumulate anything like that.

It dislodged the blanket though, causing him to put the tea down and wriggling a little as he pulled it back onto him. At the thought of food he shook his head, he knew he should probably eat but he didn't have much of an appetite at the moment.]

No, I don't think I could eat at the moment. Uh, but there might be another blanket in my room?

[The young man knit his brows in deeper thought, was this a spare blanket or was this the one off his bed? He couldn't recall at the moment till he looked it over. It was definitely the spare throw that he kept in the closet. That meant there should be at least one more in his room, Waver didn't tend to focus too much on the comforts so much as the necessaries in life. Even then, the line between the two was a bit skewed at times, which was probably why his stay with the Mackenzie's had been so nice at the time.]

[aswaitsthesky]

I'll go fetch that one then and we can wait a bit before I make food.

[Shion was going full steam ahead, in total care-taking mode. He won't hesitate to invade Waver's personal bedroom nor make himself at home in his kitchen when the time comes.]

I wonder if I should have stopped by home and grabbed a few more blankets when I picked up the food... [He gives a soft sigh and shrug, no helping it now, before he turns to go, intending to find Waver's bedroom. But he calls back over his shoulder-]

Ne, when was the last time you ate?

[powerthroughexperience]

[Waver glances at the opposite wall, thinking for a moment. His brows wrinkle slightly as the magus is clearly having trouble recalling the last time he did eat. Was it breakfast? Or was it supper last night...?]

Uh, breakfast time I think.

[Shion was fussing as it was, he had a feeling the other young man would fuss all the more if he thought Waver hadn't been eating. The only problem now was that he wasn't sure what time of the day it was, the nap having thrown him off a bit.

Waver's room should have been easy to maneuver around when Shion found it, he was pretty well-organized as people went on the outside. The rest of his small place was quite tidy, but the bedroom appeared to have missed the memo on what it should look like. There were books lying everywhere, along with note pads and the odd mug sitting on what free spaces there were to be found. His bed was really the only thing that seemed to have been made up neatly. ]

[aswaitsthesky]

[Shion was used to living spaces covered in far too many books, in fact, it would honestly be stranger to be in a place not like that. So the bedroom just brings a fond smile to his face before he spots the well made bed and retrieves what he came for.]

You don't sound very sure that you ate at breakfast, Waver.

[He leans over him to drape the blanket over his shoulders and tuck it around him before stepping back and giving him a hard look.] What'd you have?

[powerthroughexperience]

[Waver mumbled a thanks for the blanket, before continuing to cocoon himself in it in an attempt to buy himself a little time to think. He knew he'd eaten, he just wasn't sure when the meal was and if it was breakfast. The little magus remembered eating a microwavable sandwich thing (Ah technology a bane and a wonder to today's magi), but he couldn't remember if it had been that day or yesterday.

But he knew he'd eaten because he had gotten pretty ill not too long after.]

I had cereal.

[He responded with a little shrug, settling back against the couch a little more comfortably now that he'd gotten the blanket and answered the question. Sure, it wasn't the right answer but it was a believable one.]

Guuuh sorry for the delay! (Game tags /shakes fist)

[aswaitsthesky]

Hmmm. I find that hard to believe since your milk doesn't seem to be good. I grabbed you some when I went out.

[Shion puts his hands on his hips and gives Waver an extra stern look.] I think I should make you something after all. Even if you did have cereal, that's not very filling and it was some time ago.

If you can't eat it come time, we'll set it aside and can reheat it later, okay?
