[If you asked Gaius this morning if he could ever have a crush on a demon he'd have been confused and a little offended.

Now he's confused and a little enamoured. It's still weird to look at Rean's face, but he was already charmed before they started talking about such heavy things. Gaius is blushing quite obviously now, but he's going to write it off as the painkillers he's still on.]

Thank you. Ah... I think I'm still a little out of it. Sorry.

[Cause he's having some real gay urges rn.]

You seem fine. Though a little red. Perhaps we should get you in bed.

[He's not doing this deliberately, probably...]

[winderlust]

It's not-- ...Okay.

[It's not that! But he doesn't know how to react to his own reaction, and he feels it would be impolite to say anything, so he lets Rean usher him to bed.

But tomorrow he's getting up early and trying to help out before Rean can catch him and chase him back to his chair. So Rean will find him in the kitchen organizing things just around dawn.]

[awakenerd]

What are you doing up?

[That's Rean's first thought, voiced aloud, when he discovers Gaius organizing his kitchen. It's not upset just incredulous.]

Don't you have some recovering still to do?

[winderlust]

I'm far beyond the sleeping all day point. [C'mon Rean he's a tough guy! A fighter! He can manage some cans.] My only problem is you're already too neat. There's nothing for me to do.

I can get why you're restless... I'm just not sure there's anything I can find for you to do until you're healed fully.
