Aron gestured to a table laid out buffet style. "There's food." He said with a grin, happy that his prince was back.
Nik held onto Eclipse still, looking around.

Eclipse nodded, "Would you mind helping us get food?" he asked, "My hands are a little full" he grinned a little at that, pulling Nik closer.

Aron nodded. "Yeah, sure. Sit down." He replied, gesturing to a second table with chairs. He grabbed two plates, and piled each one with food.

Eclipse nodded, "Thanks Aron" he said softly, moving over to the indicated table, setting Nik down in his own chair, smiling.

Aron nodded, setting the plates down in front of Eclipse and Nik, then grabbed glasses of water.
Nik looked over at Eclipse for a moment.

Eclipse gave him a curious look, "You okay?" he asked, taking a bite of the food that he'd been given, keeping an eye on Nik.

Nik nodded a little, and started to eat. He ate slowly, cautiously, not wanting to overload his stomach and start throwing up everywhere.
Aron sat down across from them.

Eclipse smiled at Aron, thanking him again for grabbing them food, taking his time with his food.

(Hey, just a heads-up, but I won't be super active today bc I have a dance tonight)

Aron smiled back. "You're welcome."
Nik continued eating slowly, looking around the tent so that he was less tempted to just wolf it down.

(Coolio, & also same, but because I'm not in school today)

Eclipse kept a careful eye on Nik, finishing his meal a bit quickly his attention not really focused on anything in particular.

(alrighty)

Nik let out a soft breath, running a hand through his tangled and matted hair, grimacing as flakes of blood came free onto his fingers.

Eclipse noticed the action, humming softly, "Hey, our next stop is to get you cleaned up, so don't worry too much about it." he said softly, trying to be reassuring.

Nik let out a shaky breath, and nodded slightly. "Alright." he said softly.

Eclipse nodded, patiently waiting until the other was okay to move on.

Nik took a deep breath, and took a bite of food, looking down at the table. Aron watched them quietly, eating his own food.

Eclipse hummed softly, getting up to take care of his dishes, then coming right back to wait for Nik.

Nik finished up after a few more minutes, and looked over at Eclipse. "Thank you." he said softly, biting his lip.

"Of course Love.." he said softly, "Shall we go get you cleaned up now?"

Nik nodded, looking up at Eclipse. "Yeah." he said softly, swallowing.
Aron cleared his throat. "I'll get the bath stuff ready." he said, and slipped out of the tent.

Eclipse nodded another thank you to Aron, before scooping Nik back up into his grasp, "Alright then, shall we go?"

Nik looped his arms around Eclipse's neck, holding on tightly. "Probably." he replied softly, leaning his head on Eclipse's shoulder.

Eclipse nodded, moving out of the mess tent, and in the direction Arron had gone.

Nik held onto Eclipse quietly. "Thank you." he said after a long moment, swallowing and closing his eyes. He didn't know what to do, other than hold onto Eclipse and hope that eventually he could get better.

Eclipse nodded, holding him tightly, "Always.." he said softly, "I'm here for you, no matter what." he said, hugging him tightly to his chest.

Nik nodded, wincing a little at the tight grip, and stayed snuggled close to Eclipse. "Alright." he said quietly.

Eclipse loosened his grip when the other winced, not wanting to hurt him as they made their way to a small tent on the edge of the camp.

Nik held onto him. Aron came out. "Bath is hot and ready." He said with a smile.

Eclipse nodded, "Thanks Aron" he said again, "I think I can handle it from here." he nodded, entering the tent, seeing a tub of warm water.

Aron nodded. "I'll be out here if you need anything." He replied with a small smile. Nik held onto Eclipse, closing his eyes tiredly.

Eclipse nodded, "Thanks Aron," he said once again as he entered the tent, noticing how tired Nik was. Humming softly to himself he set the other down gently, "Do you mind if I do the work?" he asked, gesturing to the bath, and to Nik.
