[ Alkaid nods gently in return to his. She turns slightly, gently moving his head to rest in her lap once more. Her hand keeps the cold cloth on his forehead while the other rests atop his head to gently run her fingers through his hair. She could already see why the head maid had been so concerned, but this certainly elevates that worry further. Surely it is exhaustion, as well as a combination of not enough sleep and perhaps even food. Has he slept with the room cold and unattended as well? What of his office, does it remain warm or cold? ]

There is no need to feel sorry. We will see you through this and will work together to avoid it in the future. [ A smile forms on her face with her tail swaying at her side slightly. ] The fire will warm the room again in a few moments, and I can fetch another blanket if you are in need of it.

[ Alkaid smirks. ] Or, I could curl against you to give you heat. Although... perhaps my smaller stature may not be of aid at all.
