Who: Arthur and Guinevere
What: Gwen's in Overboard Caring Mode.
Where: Their flat
When: Late Evening
Status: In Progress

Today had been rather busy and she was a little grateful for it. She was able to do what she needed to as others took over taking care of Arthur, even though he seemed back to normal now. He just needed as many people as possible surrounding him to keep him in his bed. And luckily for Gwen there were plenty of people willing, giving her a chance to take Esme and Abigail outside for a little while and pick up some essentials they were running out of. It wasn’t until she was putting Abi down for the night that she had managed to get the house to just the three of them, but she wasn’t completely bothered by having so many there earlier. Gave her a chance to take a breath anyway.

Once Abigail was settled, she headed straight to the kitchen. She was in full caring mode at the moment and she knew Arthur didn’t fully like it but she didn’t care. He needed this until he was fully recovered and in all honesty he knew not to argue with her when it came to taking care of anyone. He knew what she was like and that arguing or putting up a fight was just useless. After making him some toast and a cup of tea she walked back to the bedroom and gave him a little smile.

“Here. You have to eat something.”

Arthur grunted and struggled to sit up, blinking at the offering as if he didn't understand, before he took the plate in hand and bit into a corner of the toast. Swallowing roughly.

His head faintly buzzed in the unbroken silence of the room and he sought Guinevere's eyes for some kind of reassurance that he was still there. His memories of the past few days were nothing more than faint impressions of people's faces, distorted and watery and scared. Guinevere's being the most present and even know he could see the healing bruises and cuts that marred her darker skin.

He swallowed against the dry, roughness of his throat a second time, urging that one little bite of food down.

"Thank you."

The moment he looked to her she was sitting next to him, a hand on his calf over the covers. She just wanted him back to normal but she knew it would take some time. It wasn't anything normal to recover from and she wanted to make sure everything was okay before she even tried to stop watching over him. He was alright when she was putting Abigail to bed mainly because she kept the door open so could check. It would just be some time until she left him alone in the house.

"You're welcome," she said with a gentle smile as she rubbed at his leg before giving him the once over again. She just had to keep checking everything was all right, she wasn't happier any other way. And she knew that in a few minutes she would be looking over him again.

"I didn't die, Guinevere." Arthur's laughter was light as he stretched out his free hand for her and caught her by the elbow. He tugged on her arm gently, encouraging her to move up the bed and come sit beside him. Too many people had been through that day and yet Gwen had been the one absent the most. He hardly blamed her for leaving when she got the chance. He didn't need to remember what he'd acted like to know she would need time to readjust, but he was here now.

Here. Alert. And needing his wife.

"I won't be disappearing."

"I know," she responded quietly as she moved at his hint, resting with her back against the headboard next to him. She wouldn't deny him her presence near by if that was what he wanted, especially when he was recovering. She could still clearly see and hear everything that happened whilst he had been ill and it would more than likely haunt her for quite some time. Looking at him, she studied his face before sighing softly.

"Eat your toast."

	"I am eating it." Arthur took another bite of his toast to emphasize the point. He rested his head against her shoulder, completely at ease with the role reversal. She smelled oddly of lemon polish and apples and it made him slightly grin. "It's called savoring." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Child," she told him at his first protest but let him rest against her, her hand resting gently on his thigh as she looked around. She'd need to clean up in here tomorrow. She wouldn't have Arthur recovering in a messy room, it certainly wouldn't help him. Laughing softly, she hit his thigh. "It is called being annoying." (Reply to this) (Parent)
