Just want somebody to love

As Hikaru came to the door Ollie gave his father's partner a weak smile. He slowly ambled through the doorway and sat at the seat proffered. He noted his father's sleeping form and his deep weary viridian eyes clung to the fragile image. Mortis had been hit exceptionally hard by the hallucinations. He had not even recognized those he loved most. He was glad Wylan hadn't witnessed it. Hopefully.

He was silent for several beats, watching the rise and fall of his father's side. Ollie was trying to hold onto every fragile fragment within him. With a shuddering breath, realizing he had gotten lost, he finally turned back to Hikaru. Sliding the string off his shoulders that held the tea.

"If you're not experiencing any symptoms, then be sure not to drink this yourself. It especially counteracts the hallucinations of the blight. But it can induce them in others who aren't sick." He grabbed a clean cup from a corner and poured a healthy serving into it.

"See if you can get him to drink it when he wakes... It should... bring him back." Oleander stared at the tea in the cup. Lost again for a moment.

He looked back up to the koi male. The flash of pale fur must have inspired Mortis's affection for Halo.
"Thank you, Hikaru." He said, finally gathering his gaze up to look into the older man's pale silver eyes. "I don't know if he'd be here still if you weren't."

"Speech!"
