[Boi if you try to brush him off one more time he's going to shake you-

Vash shakes his head, moving his hand to the back of Ain's neck, then the side of it, his face, then his forehead. Again, feeling him all over to see how the fever is doing...which he can't get a clear read on, on account of the waterboarding that just happened. Judging by how hot the skin of his back is, though...it's definitely still hanging around.]

Mm...I was going to get up soon anyway.

[Vash is already putting an arm around Ain, trying to lead him back towards the bedroom.]

Let me bring you another washcloth. It'll feel better than trying to do that.

[And also, Ain is going to be REAL fucking cold shortly-]
