[ im so miserable between this and trial good lord
he's really not that good at this. the emotional echo tries to be calming, but worry overshadows it. he'll just place a hand on kaworu's raised knee and. be here. ]
It's okay to hurt. You don't have to fix everything, either.
[ his own emotions flicker, sympathy and understanding. it's not quite the same, he realises, but he gets it. ]
But the reason you feel like this is because you care. Caring for someone, and then coming close to losing them... it's one of the worst things you can feel. But the reasons why you care are some of the best.

no subject
the sneeze is already a worry, and-- yeah that's kaworu. oh boy. ]
...need some help?
no subject
[That's why he's got so many bandages everywhere! And why he hasn't bothered to dry his hair.]
no subject
[ he will sort of. hover for a moment before sitting next to him and putting his caddy on the floor. ]
...how long have you been trying?
no subject
[He looks around, trying to get a sense of time... he just ends up shrugging.]
no subject
Yeah, figured as much. Gimme your towel, you're gonna get sick if you don't dry your hair.
[ open paw. giv. ]

he'll gently start to dry kaworu's hair to at least not be visibly damp. ]
You're not already sick, are you?
no subject
[He's small and frail! But he's doing best.]
no subject
[ carefully presses the back of his head a little so he'll tilt his neck. to dry the back of his hair. ]
How'd you get hurt?
no subject
Everyone else is.
no subject
[ a pang of admiration, and sadness. Man ]
Do you want me to show you how to do it? In a minute.
no subject
no subject
[ he'll fall quiet for a moment while the hairdrying is finished up, then hang the towel around kaworu's shoulders.
he shifts back a little and taps the bench between them. ]
Put your leg up here. It'll be easier to see.

but he'll take the bandage and slowly demonstrate how to wrap it around his calf. it's not perfect, but it's solid enough to work. ]
You got it, or need me to show you again?
no subject
no subject
I only have basic first-aid training. It's maybe... put pressure on the wound? I don't know.
no subject
[Now he just wants to rip the stupid bandage off his leg. What good is it?]
no subject
[ it's not like chrono would stop him from tearing it off. he feels about as useful as it is right now. ]
Mr. Anders is still here. You helped.
