Waking up Gorou would curl up into a small ball feeling his eyes fill with tears because he is in so much pain at the moment yet it only results in his body shaking and him crying.
Walking into the home to get some fish for them to eat for dinner Itto saw the other shaking and crying so he would drop the basked to the ground, the fish falling out of it on the ground. He rushes over to the other his side not placing his hands on the other yet "what is wrong?! Can I help?!"

"Warmth-..." Gorou cried out.

Confused at this Itto thought Gorou wanted him to tuck him in yet he swiftly realises that is not the case so he panicks a little what to do "erm-...I don't know what to do-...Ah!" Being janked down onto the bed by the general he seems more confused yet seeing the other more relax when he is hugging his arm Itto would let the other be and his hand would be resting on the other his lower stomach "that kind of warmth? Do you want me to make some hot water for you so you can bath?"

"A-a bath would be nice" the general whispers laying with his back facing the oni just gripping onto his arm yet soon he lets go. He curls up again and hugs his knees tightly to his chest his ears going back.

Getting up Itto would pick up the fish to set them on the counter before he takes a large pot with water and starts to boil it hoping he will get it done soon "what is wrong exactly?"
He asks curiously tying his hair up in a high ponytail with a leather ribbon so it is out of his face "was it because of yesterday? Did you hurt your stomach?"

"S-something like that" Gorou manages to get out yet when he sees Itto go to a seperate small washroom to fill the small bath with the warm water he watches the man walk back over to him and scoop him up in his arms "I am fine with walking Itto" he whispers yet only now notices the cast on his hand and then looks at Itto who is carrying him to the bathroom "you did this?"

The man would nod and sit the other down on the counter "take your time. The water is still very hot. Call if you need anything okay?" Itto spoke seeming rather concerned for the other. Seeing the other nod he would leave the washroom, close the door so the other has some privacy. Walking to the bed Itto goes to take the covers off so he can put new ones on so when Gorou would return to the bed he can lay in a clean one. Pulling the covers off he would see blood on the matress as he instandly drops his things, rushes to the washroom and knocks on the door of it "erm-...General? Are you bleeding somewhere?! I can get that jellyfish looking girl! She healed me as well! You know ...erm...please tell me if you need help cleaning the wound or with stitching up"

Gorou would lower himself in the bath and he would relax in the warm water finding it bring comfort to him as the pain in his stomach...more so cramps seem to dissapear slowly so he is reliefed the pain is gone "I am fine Itto" he spoke and would wash up soon enough yet also step out of bath soon enough taking a towel to dry himself off.
The general takes a glance at the clothes swallowing thickly seeming to get panicked "Itto...can you get her excellency? Or..." hearing a tap on the closed wooden window he walks over to it and opens it seeing it is Kazuha.

The samurai smiles up at Gorou and hands him some fresh new clothing and other essentials "are you alright?"

The general smiles brightly seeing his friend as he gladly takes all of the items he brought for him "thank you so much" he whispers and gives him a nod "I will be fine." Bending down he picks up the clothes he previously was wearing and wraps them up in a towel before handing them to Kazuha.

The man takes it yet before Gorou can leave again he keeps the window open and looks at the other "perhaps it is best if you tell him?"

"No! Why would I do that?!" Gorou whisper yelled.

"Is everything alright general?! I am worried for you...how badly are you wounded?!"

Both Gorou and Kazuha look at the door where the voice is coming from before they would look back at eachother "It will be hard to hide. It is best to tell the truth since lying has no use when it comes to these matters. I have caught wind that he is seeing you more then a friend."
