[HE'LL TAKE WHAT HE CAN FUCKING GET.

he falls asleep not long after, sleeping more restfully than should really be possible in this situation.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[Some time in the night Keirean's instincts wake him, and he lashes out with his sword, arm tightening around Kamukura.

A monster snake's head landa in front of them, the body dropping. And Keirean's heart races as he drops the sword and feels over Kamukura's body for bites.]

[ehnnui]

[Normally Kamukura's instincts would have woken him as well, but his trust of Kierean is so absolute that he doesn't so much as come close to stirring until the danger is past. It's the warm hands that wake him.]

Mmn?

[he's uninjured, at least]

[goodknightdaddy]

[Shaking a little from adrenaline Keirean drops his face to Kamukura's hair, holding him tighter.]

Nothing. Go back to sleep.

[ehnnui]

[he hesitates, parsing the way kierean is trembling and the smell of fresh blood.

then he starts carefully feeling out the older man, checking HIM for injuries.]

[goodknightdaddy]

Ah... I'm alright.

[He has some hella nice muscles though.]

[ehnnui]

[oh he knows and appreciates

he pauses, then decides to trust him. lets his hands slide to Keirean's lower back and just pat him gently. attempted soothe!]

You did well.

[goodknightdaddy]

[A long beat.

Is he being.... praised??? That's....

When was the last time someone praised him like that? ...? His wife?

It's weird. A little embarrassing but kind of nice.

He doesn't know what to say to it, finally repeating from earlier, in a more gruff way ]

Go back to sleep.

[ehnnui]

Right, understood...

[he settles himself cozily against him again. cooperative patient!!]

[goodknightdaddy]

[The rest of the night is uneventful. Keirean sleep well but it's enough to get by. The next day is pretty similar to the first. Carrying Kamukura until evening, finding water on the way.

This time though, near sunset they luck upon a hunters lodge. Unoccupied but clearly stocked, with active anti-monster wards. A clean well, a tiny one room building with fireplace and bed... basically luxury. A stable on the side for the horse...]

You can recover here.

[It's a relief. The toll on Keirean was one thing but he was growing alarmed for Kamukura.]

[ehnnui]

What luck...

[genuinely. he knows his condition would only worsen overall of they didn't find a real place for him to recover, so this is a hugely lucky break. even just from the day's travels he's muchmore feverish than he is when they woke.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[Finding a hidden key and setting Kamukura inside, even Keirean looks visibly relieved.]

Rest here. I'll take care of the horse and find food. Then I'll draw a bath after dinner.

[ehnnui]

All right. Stay safe.

[he's going to totter around making the place more livable, like at least getting out the bedding even though he can't really make the bed in his condition.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[He returns in a bit with game and wild vegetables. This time, with a pot and basic stains in the lodge, food is pretty decent. Though he keeps looking at Kamukura worriedly.]

[ehnnui]

[He's wiped the fuck out, and tries not to push himself too much in front of Keirean at least. But he definitely overdid it before he got back.]

Thank you for the meal.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He's gotten used to touch, carrying Kamukura for two days. He reaches over to touch his forehead, frowning.]

I'll help you bathe, then you sleep.

[ehnnui]

[deer in the headlights look!!

he's gotten used to contact but NAKED contact is a dangerous road, even if he's the only one naked.]

I--

[definitely can't bathe alone, fuck. his hair alone is a goddamb nightmare that might just need to be chopped off at this point.]

[goodknightdaddy]

You'll feel much better with a bath.

[He's getting up to clean up, and find the tub. He'll need to boil water to fill it so Kamukura has a little time to prepare his heart.]

[ehnnui]

[...yeah. okay. he's gonna sit here and try to brace himself!!]

[goodknightdaddy]

[All too soon there's a nice hot bath ready! And Keirean is coming over to help him up.]

[ehnnui]

[god. his life is over.



...might as well embrace it. and lean on Keirean.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[Keirean supports him over to the tub!]

Do you need help with your clothes?

[ehnnui]

[DON'T BE HORNY DON'T BE HORNY DON'T BE H]

...Only help staying steady, I think.

[goodknightdaddy]

All right, lean on me as you need.

[ehnnui]

Thank you.

[at least he was mostly in relatively loose, easy-to-change clothes because he was already bedridden. but he's starting to gingerly strip off his shirt while very much in Keirean's bubble.]
