[ because it's telegraphed kaveh doesn't flinch, but it might be kind of obvious that there's still some trauma related to being touched. he does appreciate the effort to comfort and console him though, which is why he doesn't say anything and instead just smiles at shigeru. ] It's alright, I... it's over. Olwen is taking of it, which I'm thankful for.

I think I want to, maybe, ...my mind's constantly racing. But anytime I think about it I feel sick. Nauseous.

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru nods as he goes to get Kaveh a glass of water. ]

That's not uncommon for someone dealing with trauma. There are breathing exercises you can do that helps with that. I can teach you them, if you'd like. But there are also a few medications I can prescribe that'll be of some benefit too.

[noarchitact]

How about both? I... I think both might be beneficial... Anything and everything that you can offer will, I'm sure, be helpful. I'm a mess. I'm just a mess right now, Shigeru.

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru's expression is somber but totally understanding, almost like he's gone through something similar before. He'll offer the other man that glass now, expression unchanging. ]

I can definitely do that. I'm so sorry that you and Ayato have gone through this. You didn't deserve anything that happened to either of you, and I'll try my best to help you both, okay?

[noarchitact]

...yeah, me too. [ he cups his hands over his face as he feels another round of tears leaking from his eyes. ] I, I know he had to... to watch me... I died first. [ he shakes his head. ] But, yes, t- thank you. I know he might not act like he needs a lot of help, but... I have to imagine this shook him more than he's letting on. How could it not I, I just... [ wipes away as many tears as he can. ] I still don't feel all here.

[mysophobic]

I can't imagine you will for a while. Going through something so traumatic like that isn't just easy to bounce back from, you know? You need to give yourself time to heal and process it all.

[ Shigeru types as he frown and looks away. ] You and Ayato both should relax for a while. It's not good to push yourselves after such an event. I'll go write you that prescription in the meantime did you want me to do a physical exam? I can draw some blood and run some tests too, if you'd like.

[noarchitact]

...mm. I don't plan on doing much, if I'm being honest. I... took some time off work, and my roommate is even staying home for a while in case I need something. [ he combs his fingers through his hair. ] If you'd like to do an exam I'm not necessarily opposed.

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru will nod his expression still solemn as he looks over Kaveh again. ] Good. I'm glad you recognize the fact that you need some time off. Trying to work through something like this by inundating yourself with work isn't the best idea.

[ He'll go to get his instruments to check the other's vitals starting with simply listening to his heartbeat. ] I just want to make sure that when you came back nothing went...wrong, I guess? I've never really encountered someone coming back so.

I'll just do a few simple tests like your heart rate and breathing. But you seem fine physically.

[noarchitact]

...mm, I'm not sure I want to travel much. I kind of just want to... curl up in a ball in a corner of our apartment and never go outside again, but I know that's not really realistic. I'm going to have to go out eventually, but... baby steps. [ a small, lopsided smile. ] I'll get there. [ he combs his fingers through his hair as shigeru sets things up. ]

Alright. I feel mostly fine, I think, I just... I don't know. [ he shakes his head. ] Hopefully it all comes back okay.

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru frowns and nods. ] Baby steps. I know how it feels...well not exactly but I've been in a similar mindset before. You just have to listen to yourself and do what you can, you know?

[ Shigeru will put that cleaned stethoscope up to Kaveh's chest motioning for him to breathe in. After that, he'll do a variety of typical physical tests, ones that people normally go for. But everything will come back fine with that. ]

Nothing seems off. You're perfectly healthy.
