A certain Death God still isn't feeling the greatest.

Head buried in the covers, he tries to will his headache to go away, but...that coupled with how weak he is and his stomach. This is just getting to be too much.

Chicken soup or Theraflu will not help, but you're welcome to try anyway.

[pretend this is totally just after to Avatars of Doom

"Thanatos?" There's no knocking at the door, only Mitsuru's questioning voice from through the partially opened door. It isn't like him to spend the whole day away from the pastry store tasting trays.

INDEED

[greekreaper]

"Come innnn." Door's unlocked, m'dear.

[icyfeisty]

Once she spots Thanatos actually inactive in the middle of the day, it's obvious that something is wrong. Without another word, she approaches him with silent concern, laying a hand in his bedhair.

"Are you feeling alright?"

[greekreaper]

"...Not really, no."

He can't...move fromt the bed, Mitsuru. :(

[icyfeisty]

She...doesn't quite understand how sick he is, since until today she wasn't even aware he could become sick. Then again, this is his new mortal body, and there's a lot she doesn't know about it.

Mitsuru kneels beside him, brushing sweaty hair from his face.

"What's wrong, Thanatos? Did you eat something bad?"

[greekreaper]

"I dunno, I just...felt all weird suddenly." Like there was this weird surge of power in the area and now this...

[icyfeisty]

Mitsuru leans in closer, pressing her forehead to his for a brief moment before pulling away with a chaste kiss on the cheek. It's a profoundly strange feeling, not being the one in the bed for once.

"You're burning up. How long have you been like this?"

[greekreaper]

"...I-I dunno."

What's happeninnnnnnng Mitsuruuuuu? ;;

[icyfeisty]

"Okay, I'm just going to get you comfortable first, and we can figure the rest out later." She takes a seat on the edge of the bed beside Thanatos, disrobing him with gentle, mindful hands.

"Have you had anything to eat or drink today?"

[greekreaper]

"No, not yet."

...Is that a feather you accidentally grabbed while disrobing? :|

[icyfeisty]

Absentmindedly, Mitsuru throws the feather away without a second thought, finding the most trouble in managing to pull away his pants. It isn't until another one catches in her fingers that she takes a second look. She smiles wistfully to herself at the familiar colour, before getting back to the matter at hand.

"...Did you know your wings are back?"

[greekreaper]

"What...?" That's impossible, they can't be back.

He sits up suddenly and starts yanking off his clothes and...there they are.

"...Huh."

[icyfeisty]

"I'm happy to see them back." She comments, running a hand through the dense plummage to check their health. She isn't easily distracted though, and quickly turns back to Thanatos' health.

"Are you feeling hot, or cold? Let's get you comfortable first, perhaps then you'll be able to manage a nap while I make some comfort food."

[greekreaper]

"I'm glad someone is..." He doesn't seem that thrilled about them, and they're looking a bit more ragged than usual.

"Ah...cold, kinda."

[icyfeisty]

Their condition is less than the high standards Hypnos usually keeps them to, when she isn't there to help him groom properly. But nothing an hour or two of good grooming can't fix.

In the meantime, she reaches around him to pull the blanket up and over his shoulders, taking the opportunity to give him a brief but warm hug. Keeping him warm will be easier than cooling him down, at least.

"Okay, I'm going to my room for a few minutes. I'll be back with something warm to drink, so don't let me catch you out of bed Thanatos."

[greekreaper]

"O-Okay."

Yes'm, he'll just chill out here.
