[The lack of teasing is probably more troubling than anything, along with the silence. It's possible this truly is something worse than a cold (and he's already put in a request to get a dose of the antidote for the previous plague prepared -- just in case) but if it isn't... well, even the common cold can kill people. If his immune system continues to be so weak like this, he may not survive very long in this world.]
[But humans die all the time. Jae-ha himself said he didn't even mind that his life was doomed to be a short one. He hasn't even known him for very long... it shouldn't bother him as much as it does, seeing those shallow breaths. Is it the dragon blood in him, calling to his own?]
[Or is this scene just too familiar? He's been thinking about his "family" more and more these days... ah, how strange. he pushes those thoughts away.]
[He'll dutifully stay by his side, leaving only occasionally to fetch water or medicine... and shoot a text to Miss Yona (from Jae-ha's phone of course) that Mr. Jae-ha has a cold and is being a big baby about it, so he's doing some errands for him and may not be home tonight -- with some added teasing that she can have Mr. Slaine uninterrupted for as long as she'd like. Downplaying the severity -- just as Jae-ha asked.]
[It's only once that's done that he sighs and leans back in his chair, eyeing Jae-ha... is he asleep? It's hard to tell. But when he changes the cloth over his forehead and doesn't get a reaction, he'll assume as much... and then reach down to gently brush some of his hair from his face, speaking in a soft low voice.]
Do get well soon... it's surprisingly dull without you around.
