it's hard to tell, but she's smiling a little.] Yeah. Yeah, when I can... when I'm not exhausted.
[she squeezes his hand.] I think maybe we have a plan when I can stand again, so - you guys, you guys uh, keep doing what you're doing. And I'll do what I can.
[ he's feeling less frustrated about the whole situation, honestly. once things started rolling, once information started coming out like a river instead of a rain drop, it felt more like standing in a tent on a battlefield. this is what he excels at. they're going to figure it out.
after a moment, he lolls his head to look at her properly, mouth pulled up in a lopsided smile. ] You ought to rest, you know. Coming from me, that should feel especially concerning.
[ good. then! he will stand up, holding out his other hand to help her. ]
Let's, then. Seems much more convenient than heating water back home. Worst comes to worst, I'll just leap out if it gets too hot, and you'll be presented with a look at my bare ass on the way out of the water. [ which is a good thing obviously ]
[she takes his hands, letting him help her up. she's a little weak still, but!]
Well, I'm sure as hell not going to complain at getting a look at your bare ass. [she agrees. the second part gets her half-assedly putting her hand to her forehead:] No, I'm a fainting maiden. Please, you big, strong man, carry me to my bath.
[well, at least she feels good enough to joke around]

I'm afraid I'm going to set my bed on fire. [she says, and it's - only half a joke? wheeze]
no subject
[ eyyyyyy
anyway bad joke aside, he laughs a little, and asks, curious - ] Would a bath hurt you, like this?
no subject
but oh, huh. she blinks at that last part.]
I don't know? I don't think so. [but she thinks maybe she would like to try because that sounds nice...]

He just picks her up and tosses her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

no subject
