[Oh. Oh. He thinks he gets it now. Namur smiles and puts his arms around her middle again as he leans forward to nudge his blushing nose against Haruta's ear.]

Yer makin' shit more complicated than it needs t' be. Up here.

[He reaches up to tap her forehead, the fever noted again with a slight frown.]

Stop thinkin' 'bout shit an' do what feels good here.

[He lets his knuckles drag over her cheeks and neck, then he taps just below her collarbone to indicate her heart.]

Get it?

[haruta_xii]

[She leaned back into him a bit, less folded over, as he puts his arms around her middle and leaned in too. Feeling his nose and words at her ear she closed her eyes, trying to relax. Feeling the touch to her forehead, wanting to press her forehead into his hand because that felt nice...]

[but so did the touch down her cheek and neck. The tap to her heart. Both hands came up to engulf his hand in hers, holding his hand to her heart. The beat was a little too fast, but steady.]

I get it. I think I do. My brain just... runs away with my heart and does dumb things. [still holding onto his hands she kept her eyes closed, leaning into him and trying to make her heart slow down, which it was, a bit, but she was flushed, either from blush or fever or both.]

I'm sorry, Namur. I said some stupid shit to you.

[om_nom_namur]

Ain't holdin' it 'gainst y'. Hell, only thing I wanna hold 'gainst y' is me, so.

[Namur nuzzles in at her neck, being careful about his outer teeth. But it gives him a direct electrochemical taste right near her gland and... Shit. She really is ill. It's not even fair.]

This's worse'n yer normal bout a sick, ain't it? Ain't normal. What happened?

[haruta_xii]

[she gave a faint chuckle at his comment.] Hnng, don’t be cute.... [she said amused, leaning back into him and closing her eyes. It’s not fair to feel this bad when she can make things up with him.]

Got hit with something while fightin’. Chandra keeps doing some white magic stuff, but I only feel better for so long after...

[om_nom_namur]

[His brow furrows as he tries to remember the major players in the group. There were several who could have conceivably landed a hit on Haruta, but to leave her sick like this?]

Who done it, Sweetheart?

[haruta_xii]

[she gave a shrug, just wanting to lean into him and snuggle down for a while. She was that tired, but so glad to get to talk to Namur. She made a small murr sound as she leaned into him, eyes closed a moment.]

Some girl. Poison. Spiders and things. Chandra and Ikki took care of her, I think...

[om_nom_namur]

[For once, it isn't revenge he's looking for, but a cure.] So y' need somethin' t' take care a the poison, not jus' the damage it's doin' y'. [He's still pretty damn tired himself. The ship isn't far... Namur picks her up as he stands, and sets her on his shoulders. He winces as her weight bears down on his fin, but it's not as bad as it could be. He can handle it just long enough to get her back on the ship.] C'mon, let's go get some rest.

[haruta_xii]

Chandra should be able to take care of it though...

[Magic and all. She also had all the faith in Chandra that she could have.]

[He picked her up, making her almost squeak as he sat her on his shoulders. She leaned on him a bit and frowned, looking down.]

I can walk ya big numbskull. Don't hurt yourself more. [she said, uncomfortably hugging his head, worried forever about her brotha] I made it out here this far, I should be helpin' you back...

[om_nom_namur]

Y' were half asleep not three seconds ago! Shit, Haruta. Jus' lemme take y' back out t' the ship an' curl up with y' in a damn hammock.

[WOMEN.]

[haruta_xii]

[She kind of shrank back at that, turning her face in to nuzzle into his hair as she said softly] O-okay...

[her face flushed but now from blush, and he'd pick up that the idea made her happy.]

[om_nom_namur]

[It makes him blush a little, even though he's sighing heavily. Seriously.

Namur does take the opportunity to put his hands high up on her thighs though. For stability, of course. The part where he caresses his thumbs over them as he makes his way back to the ship is totally just natural shifting and jostling as he moves, yup. It has nothing at all to do with him thinking she has perfect legs and taking advantage of the situation to appreciate their perfectness while he can. Okay, maybe a little. But he's not going to make something of it while she's still obviously sick. Namur gets her back onto the ship and into her hammock in good time, but it takes a lot out of him, and he nearly collapses into the hammock himself. He chuckles as he settles in next to her, nudging her nose gently.]

Hell of a pair we make, eh? Sheheheh!

[haruta_xii]

[She noticed that, Namur. Not that she minded at all. It's not fair that she's sick. That he's hurt. None of it is fair, and her head is still twisted up. But better.]

[She just leaned into him and let him do as he wanted. She liked it anyhow. As he puts her in her hammock she moves with perfect balance still so he can get in too, so she can curl up on him, nose nuzzling him back for a moment before pressing her warm face into his neck and closing her eyes.]

Just gonna take a few days. We'll both be top of our game. Then you're on. Idiot.

[om_nom_namur]

Dumbass.

[Namur wraps a long arm around her, then reaches for a blanket to haphazardly toss over them both. He rubs his chin against the top of her head, then settles in and falls fast asleep.]
