Surprise!

Voltage held her close, feeling an odd sort of calm panic. He managed to keep his heart race down, managed not to shake incase she felt it. He didn't want her to worry more than he knew she already was, but he couldn't help the worry twist through his brain. Something was wrong. She had been fit as a fiddle the days leading up to this, he could...well, atone for that. For it to be so sudden, there had to be something. Perhaps she caught something on the trip and it was only just now showing up? And then he began to worry that maybe she had been hiding it, with all the drama he was going through. But she said that she wished she knew what was wrong, as well, so he tried to calm down, tried to will away the anxiety but he really couldn't. Instead he'd just nuzzle her, whining soft in his throat as he did, hoping...wishing that he knew what was wrong. It was his blessing when Orchid walked up to them, clearing her throat before she did. He'd give her a small, half smile before frowning again and holding Gaia closer, feeling oddly protective. He knew Orchid was talented, he knew she wouldn't harm his love, but he just felt...like he had to protect her. So with a sigh he'd carefully pull away just enough to allow Orchid some access to his sick love. "She woke up and got sick...and she feels really warm.." He said softly, feeling the warmth roll off of her. "And weakness.." He murmured softly, not quite knowing all the symptoms, but he had seen these. It worried him a lot. "You saw her, Orchid, on the trip, she was fine. What...what's happening?" He said, the worry obviously heavy in his throat as he looked up at her with concern.
