*Well, Horatio--Horatio has been out in the rain and cold for long periods of time; he has rather a pathetic immune system anyway, and at the moment he is lying in bed quietly (Hamlet has, presumably, already risen--and that's unusual in and of itself), looking at the ceiling, and trying to encourage himself out. everything is spinning, and he's very hot and sweating, but after much, much effort he gets out of bed and begins to dress, glassy-eyed, leaning against the wall or the bedside table or the bed for support*

*and Hamlet doesn't have a sense of these things like Horatio does, he's not carefully trained himself to know when things are wrong, but he does know that the sounds of Horatio stumbling or leaning hard against things are not at all normal, nor are they good-- and of course he will realise now that Horatio hasn't gotten up yet, and that while Hamlet sometimes has moods that beg him to sleep in or stay in bed, his boyfriend rarely does*

*he's here, softly, softly watching, then quickly and in one smooth moment, he's at Horatio's side with both arms around him*

	Ay, my Lord. moves backwards, slowly, to sit on the bed, and then makes a small disappointed face at his unlaced doublet--he didn't get it finished--and starts trying to get it laced (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	and Hamlet will hush him, gently, but with a little bit of a command (the command of a concerned lover, not of a prince; rarely does he conciously give commands as a prince), and then nudge his fingers out of the way-- and then Hamlet will unlace the doublet himself Thou shalt too much warm thyself; thy blood, it will boil over.

	satisfied, he nods and attempts to lean back, but because he's sitting on the edge of the bed, there's not really anything to lean back against--which means that unless Hamlet catches him he's back in bed (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Hamlet will* catch him, but probably only to lower him back rather gently* (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Hamlet will return, after a bit too long in the kitchen (have we mentioned that he is inept), and when he does, he'll have a dish of very plain bread and a dish of multiple kinds of preserves. he has no tea, but he has brouight Horatio juice and a cold compress (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Horatio will realises he's in the room very gradually, and that alone speaks of something wrong, since usual his Hamlet-dar is exceptional; and he does see Hamlet he smiles slightly My Lord. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	thanitohercules 2006-09-17 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	he sets down his tray immediately and moves to Horatio's side, sitting on the edge of the bed and holding his hand; it's all a little shaky, a little nervous, because coming into the room to find Horatio not moving is enough to upset Hamlet quite a bit Thou dost wake.
