*Cough, cough*

[curiousmalady]

*That would be Komui, sitting in the kitchen and trying to have a peaceful cup of morning coffee

[It's not too long before he ends up in the kitchen, meaning to warm up a bottle, Ai tucked in the crook of his arm. He drops it when he hears that nasty coughing, rushing to Komui and making Ai wail]

Komui!?

[curiousmalady]

*Okay, stop. Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe. No, not that feeling again. Hold it. Hold it in as long as you can. And while you're at it, send a mental "I'm fine" to your worried fiancee, considering you can't exactly speak at the moment.*

[kardial]

You're not fine! [saxzzx! Rubs his back, trying to soothe Ai by rocking her with his other arm.]

[curiousmalady]

*Yes, I am.

Though he coughs a few more times, still doubled over.*

[kardial]

[Sighs, he really doesn't want to fight about this, rubbing his back, a little harder.]

[curiousmalady]

*The sensation subsides a little and he pants, catching his breath. Pale cheeks go flushed.*

[kardial]

[That still doesn't stop his worry.]

[curiousmalady]

....

*He runs a hand over his forehead and through his hair, still catching his breath.*

I'm okay, it's just... winter, you know... *He turns to comfort Ai, then thinks the better of it when the annoying feeling tickles his throat again.*

[kardial]

[She's mostly calmed down for now, meanwhile Bak's getting him a glass of water one-handedly]

[curiousmalady]

*He sits there resting against the table and trying to keep the coughs at bay. A few more make his head swim, and he leans against the table.*

[kardial]

[Sets the glass of water down, going back to rubbing his back.]
