[He loves having her around. It's not the same as Kuro, and is never going to be, but there's a different sort of companionship with Ayame that he's really enjoying.
He slips off the counter as Kaoru talks, picking up Ayame and carefully holding her in his arms where she started to chew on his fingers.]
... you think that's why you're sick now?
[He's not so dumb that he can't figure out what she's getting at.]
I'm sick because I ran around a palace made of ice without shoes.
[She means to tease. Because the day she doesn't tease her friend is...never.]
I've only been sick once before. I couldn't really afford to because psychic powers and fevers don't really mix well. [She taps the side of her head as if to say, yes. Powers that are controlled by the brain + fever that affects the brain = DISASTER.]
And our powers growing this much...my body can't handle using my powers at full force for more than twenty minutes.
[She wanted to be annoyed, but she was just...really fond. She reached out to hug him.]
Rin. I can't stay here. If I get a fever I'll lose control of my powers. If I reach my limit, my body will collapse on itself and I'll take out a 15km radius with me. I can't risk that.
[That... makes sense. He can't say he's thrilled at the idea of Kaoru just going off on her own while she was so sick, but he'd also rather not have half the town blown out of existence.
There's a sigh and a careful hug, Ayame giving a squeak as she's between the two of them.]
Can I at least make somethin' for you before you run off?

Date: 2018-12-12 07:09 am (UTC)Sooooo what's the issue? Just get some damn rest already! You're not gonna get any better shufflin' around the house like a zombie.
[Sorry. He's not quite getting it. He figures if she's having that much trouble, just let her body recover as it needs to.]

... that's a good thing right now, though.
