Arik smirked, one corner of his lips quirking upward. He did not even need to be sneaky to make her jump when she was sick. He had intended on checking up on her the night prior, but after his talking with Stefan, he did not want to wake her while she attempted to sleep. Arik remembered the reason he intended to visit his sire that day, given he had had a very late night walk after Stefan went to sleep and heard strange noises from her house- but if she didn't kill whoever she had in her home, it was best to extract the poor fool during the day while she slept.
"Me? Sleep?" He looked down at the sleep pants he wore and then up at her. "The pants don't count?" He managed a laugh and sipped his coffee. The random thoughts going through his head were hidden from his face as he smiled at her. Even sick she was adorable.
"Are you feeling any better? I will get you something to help you sleep tonight, but I will be out of the house most of the evening helping a friend so you'll have to deal with Stefan mothering you."
