[ Oh. Was she asleep before they found out what it was...? That's longer than he thought, then.
(It'd been... had she been asleep a month?)
Putting on a reassuring smile, he pulls back a little. Quite gentle and sincere, yes, but... it's flickery. Like it's brushed on over something else. ]
It's what was making everyone sick. Something spread by mana exchange, they think, like it affects it... [ Or at least that might explain why the fatigue he has is so much harder to shake off than some other illness. To be honest he's accustomed enough to ignore himself and pushing through debilitations and morally offended over the implication of the virus that it's more that it saps his energy and occasionally leads to very unsettling urges. It'd be hard to tell with him, other than feverishly warm skin and a glassy-eyed look, voice a little too rough-soft to be normal.
Also his way of dealing with it is to basically pretend nothing's wrong.
Which is also why he disengages a hand to touch the back of his fingers her forehead ]
But—Lux you're still sick. You should sit. [ He won't force her but he will try to help her to sit on the edge of the bed. ]
