The same day, Aesop's room...
Aesop: *sneezes*
Eli: Look at you... Poor child...
Aesop: Stop with the parental act already...
Eli: Right, sorry... Why don't you lay down while I go get some stuff for you?
Aesop: Ugh, fine... You've been bugging me to lay down since this morning, so I might as well...
Aesop: *lays on his bed, looking like he's preparing for his funeral*
Eli: Why are your arms crossed like that?
Aesop: Whatever do you mean? This is how I sleep...
Eli: Not natural, but okay... Let me check your temperature...
Eli: *lifts Aesop's fringe and places his forehead against Aesop's forehead*
Aesop: Wh- What are you doing?
Eli: Checking your temperature, like I said I would.
Aesop: With- With your forehead?! Not a thermometer or your hand or something?!
Eli: Maybe I just wanted to have a small intimate moment with you...
Eli: *blushing slightly*
Eli: Okay, you seem to be a little hotter than usual, so I'll go get a soaked cloth for your head. I'll be back in a jiffy!
Eli: *happily skips away*
Aesop: *closes his eyes and sighs, waiting for Eli, silently*
Eli: *returns, holding a bucket full of water, with a cloth dangling over the side*
Eli: My poor sick baby...
Aesop: Eli, stop.
Eli: Fine, fine. You're no fun...
Aesop: I don't intend to be, so thanks for reassuring me that it's working.
Eli: *sets the bucket down next to Aesop's bed, takes a chair and pulls it closer, and sits on it*
Eli: I don't know what you're talking about, so I'll just ignore that.
Eli: *takes the cloth, dips it into the water, pulls it out, squeezes it dry and places it on Aesop's forehead*
Eli: There you are~ You'll be cooled down in no time~
Aesop: Thanks...
Eli: No problem. Oh! One more thing!
Eli: *brings in a tray of food*
Eli: I also have some soup~ And bread, of course, because soup by itself isn't great...
Aesop: Soup is amazing by itself, what do you mean?
Eli: Eh, we all have our opinions, so I won't judge... You should just eat it. Is there a table anywhere in here?
Aesop: No, not really... I have a vanity, but that's about it...
Eli: And a bedside drawer... Hm, I'll just leave it on the bedside drawer, so eat it when you feel hungry.
