[Warm... So very warm...


...It's bright.

Slowly, Dhaos finally opens his eyes. He is greeted by the sight of his ceiling and the light coming in from his bedroom window. Strange; he didn't recall falling asleep. He blinks a few times before slowly sitting up.]

[Zelda's taken to leaving the door of his room open just a crack so that it's easy to check on him. Only a few minutes pass before she walks by the door and peeks in. She smiles, then.]

Good morning, Dhaos.

[fistfullofmagic]

[He smiles back.]

You've woken up. I'm glad.

[Yep, completely oblivious to the fact that he was out for a week.]

[zelda_hylia]

[She's seen the broadcast, so she takes out her SFC and shows Dhaos the video of himself passing out in her room.]

I woke up then, actually. You've been unconscious for about a week. Do you feel well?

[fistfullofmagic]

[He seems rather surprised at this. A week? Well, that would certainly explain why he feels a bit stiff.]

I'd been having a bit more trouble sleeping than usual, but not so much as to cause a collapse like that.

[zelda_hylia]

It seems the coral decided you needed a nap.

[She heads over to his bed and presses her hand to his forehead. His headband has been removed, and he's wearing a Zora tunic - just like everyone else who has the misfortune to lose consciousness around Zelda.]

[fistfullofmagic]

...I see.

[He feels slightly cooler to the touch than normal, but aside from that and the persistent issue of being quite underweight, Dhaos appears to be in good health.]

[zelda_hylia]

If you're feeling well enough to get up, you should eat. If not, would you like me to bring you something?

[Soup is fairly simple, she can make that!]

[fistfullofmagic]

I will get up. I need to work out the stiffness in my limbs, after all.

[And honestly, he's quite hungry. He'd been meaning to eat something before, but the Lamufao clearly had a different idea at the time.

He rises slowly, taking care to keep his slightly disused limbs from giving out on him.]

[zelda_hylia]

[The princess hovers nearby, ready to help him if it looks like he's going to fall. Not that she could do all that much considering he has over a foot on her...]

[redcladidealist]

[Zelda isn't the only one who's been checking in on Dhaos. Lloyd's been coming by from time to time to sit and talk to him. Just sitting and talking, he can almost pretend that Dhaos is just being quiet because he's listening. It helps to stave the worry off, at least for a little bit.

Sitting in that chair, though, right where the sun is shining... He'd been talking to Dhaos again, telling him trivial things, with the warmth of the sun soaking into him, soothing him. So when Dhaos wakes up, he isn't alone - but the person sitting in the chair next to his bed has started dozing off.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos smiles lightly when he spots Lloyd. It's nice to wake up to a friendly face - even one that's half asleep. Still, it concerns him slightly that his not-cousin would be visiting his bedside. Had he fallen ill and suffered a blackout? Perhaps waking the boy would provide the answers he seeks.]

You shouldn't fall asleep sitting up like that. Your neck will be very sore afterwards.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd starts awake at the sudden voice, though it takes a moment after that for his brain to catch up and register exactly whose voice that was. His eyes widen and his head snaps to look at Dhaos.

Ow.

But his ears aren't deceiving him. The blond is awake!]

Dhaos!

[He rubs his sore neck, but that can't diminish his delight and relief.]

You've been asleep for ages!

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos finds himself privately amused by the fact that his prediction was spot on.]

...Had I fallen ill?

[It would certainly explain the change of wardrobe and the lack of any knowledge on how he got into bed in the first place.]

[redcladidealist]

You were in a sleep coma. You... know what those are, right?

[Even though he's seeing Dhaos awake and alert, he still can't help but search the man with his eyes to make sure that he's all right.]

[fistfullofmagic]

Ah. I do hope I didn't worry everyone too much.

[The coma seems to have done the blond some good. For once he's had a long rest without the frequent nightmares haunting him.]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd goes quiet for a moment.]

Your starfish came on right before you fell asleep. You just... collapsed. It really scared me.

Forgot about this until now, oops ^^;

[fistfullofmagic]

...I apologize for frightening you.

[After a moment's thought, he shifts a bit to pull Lloyd into a hug.]

...I assure you though, I am alright now.

Aw, yay~ You tagged back. <3

[redcladidealist]

[The hug isn't expected, but after a moment of stiff surprise, Lloyd relaxes and wraps an arm around the man, returning the hug in full.]

...good. I'm glad. Don't... don't ever do that again.

[He knows Dhaos didn't have any control over it, but he childishly wants to demand that the man try it anyway. Just try and maybe it won't come to this again.]

Please.
