Wake up

Standing from the bed a male softly yawned looking back at the resting prince. He reached out a hand to check his temperature, a somber smile forming on his face once his hand reached the male's abnormally warm skin. Bennett was slightly concerned about the other's rapidly decreasing health especially now that he seemingly was running a fever of the sorts. He paused for a moment before retrieving his hand and going on with his plan. Bennett had formed the plan of searching the room for clues while the other male rested.

He wandered over to the desk he had found Razor busy working away at. The farmer glanced around at the scattered papers and spilt ink, stopping to clean the mess up for Razor so he wouldn't feel bad for accidentally slamming his head on the table after slipping into a much needed nap. Bennett hated the feeling of well just that, feeling, feeling anything for the Prince. He pushed aside his inherited burden once he noticed an awful stench coming from the bathroom. This both intrigued and disgusted Bennett but if he was to properly conduct research into why his family's target was heading towards an early grave of a workaholic he had to continue on.

The male slowly entered the bathroom and quickly found what the stench was, a rotting meal on the floor of the bathroom. Bennett concluded in his mind that this would've been a delicious pan-seared steak if it had not now been infested with maggots and molding, a bummer. Putting that aside, Bennett focused on the more concerning factor which was the evident half eaten chunks of steak scattered around the tiles. An acidic liquid filled his throat as Bennett held both his stomach and mouth, forcing the vomit back down. Stumbling backwards he reached for the sink only to slip on something and falling to the floor. He looked back and saw a half empty tube of minty paste designed to keep teeth clean. Now taking in the sight of the entire bathroom he noticed many abnormalities, many empty if not open bathroom products from non hazardous to cleaning products. Things started to piece together in Bennett's spinning mind and just needed some conformation so he carefully stood up to go check the prince's mouth.

The farmer half hazardously stumbled out of the bathroom and over to the bed currently being occupied by a certain exhausted individual. Bennett didn't even care about accidentally waking up the prince anymore, he was far too disgusted to care. He crawled up onto the bed and got close enough to the prince before easily prying open his mouth. Just as Bennett expected he found burns and blisters all along the gums and inner cheeks of Razor's mouth. He deeply sighed at the sorry sight, confirming what he had thought of. It's evident that his health could have decreased due to him not eating actual food and instead resorting to a piece of maggot infested steak and chemicals, whether it was eating toothpaste or attempting to drink bathroom cleaner resulting to the burns and blisters.

Bennett took a few minutes to gather his thoughts and came to the conclusion that it would be best to put the "Camden family plan" aside while in the meantime he could tend to Razor for the next few days. He lightly placed one hand on the prince's cheek then began the rigorous process of attempting to wake up a sleep deprived man. "Hey..... Hey Razor, come on buddy... could you wake up for me..?" He whispered in Razor's ear but only received a muffled complaint and a hand softly landing on his face. He sighed once more before lying down alongside the prince and getting extremely close. Bennett rolled Razor over so they could be face to face before going back to cradling the boy's cheek and calling out to him.

"Razor.... Come on, We need to get you to a doctor. I don't want anything to happen to you...? Please?" ,He pleaded one last time and surprisingly got a different response. Razor abruptly grabbed hold of the other male by the shirt and pulled him closer before he even opened his eyes. "Ss...Sta...? Staw.. no...... St-Sta...y? Stay...... here........ right?" Bennett eyed him with a pitiful expression at the sound of his "friend" having difficulty remembering individual letters and how to pronounce them. He sighed once again and just gently caressed the Prince's cheek while slowly shaking his head in some parts disbelief. He softened his eyes from their original judgmental gaze and began to sit up, pulling Razor up along the way. "No, No.... Doctor. Doc-ter.... Hear how I said it? We can go in the morning to see Barbara, sound good? Now let's go get you washed up and smelling nice." Bennett explained to the half-awake male who didn't take kindly to Bennett's comment on his smell.
