>You take a seat beside a bundled-up Velveteen and offer her the mug.
"Careful, it's still a little hot."
>She murmurs a breathy 'thanks nomny...' as she takes to tea from you.
>It still feels strange to have her outright say your name. Even if it's feverishly slurred.
"No problem, Vee."
>She leans back, sinks further into the couch.
>You watch her give the tea a sniff.
>"Mm?"
>And then take a small sip.
>"...tastes funny."
"It's one of those 'herbal remedy' things."
>She takes another sip.
>"pebbermint."
"Yeah."
>"it's nice."
"But tastes funny?"
>"yeah."
>She punctuates that by taking a swig.
>With Vee dealt with for the moment... You decide to lounge around as well.
>...
>...Why is it so cold in here?
"Hey, did you... touch the thermostat?"
>"I felt like I was gonna melt."
>She shifts her weight and averts her gaze.
>"But now it's too cold..."
"You see, that's why we practice a thing called 'moderation'. Gotta find that sweet spot where things aren't too much in either direction, you hear?"
>"s-sorry..."
"S'alright. It been a rough uh- rough couple of days for you."
>You nudge her gently with an elbow.
"At least now you don't gotta hide, right?"
>She nods. "Mmhm..."
>Vee downs the last of her tea and gingerly sets it aside.
>"Are you... gonna change it back?"
"Too tired. I'll do it later..."
>She stifles a quiet laugh. "Fah... Lazybones."
"Could you spare a blanket, oh blanketmare?"
>Vee hugs herself tighter with her cloak of warmth.
>"But they're mine..."
"Just because you've been rolling around in them all day doesn't change the fact *I* bought them! C'mon now..."
>Vee starts to pout.
>...But then her expression changes.
>You're not entirely sure what it conveys now.
>"w-well... I guess we could share... t-there's room..."
"What if I catch what you have?"
>"I- I'm sure it's not contagious! Probably..."
"Hmm..."
>You rub your chin, an expectant Vee staring at you.
"Ah, why the heck not?"
>An awkward grin graces her face. "C-cool! I uhm... I'll scoot over."
>A few shimmies and a shake later and you're bundled up beside her.
>Christ, she's warm.
>A part of you wonders if that's due to all the blankets, but you're pretty sure she's just... radiating heat.
>You pull a hand out of your shared cocoon, briefly puzzling Vee before she lets out a squeak as you place it against her forehead.
>"Y-y-your hand's cold!" She stammers.
"And you're burning up."
>It doesn't take long for her to calm down after the sudden touch, now simply staring at you with that same weird expression.
>Were her pupils always so dilated?
"So... did the tea do anything?"
>You can feel her wriggle beside you. "It's... It's a little early to say..."
>At least she's not shaking as much.
"Do you... wanna watch a movie?"
>"Can we watch the one about with moon rabbits again? It's my favorite..."
"On it."
>She leans into you. "Can you hold me? W-while we watch?"
"If it'll help, Vee."
>She lets out a soft sigh as you wrap an arm around her. "T-thank you..."
