[ He hopes Gremio doesn't have a heart attack now... He walks over to Gremio in hopes that the closeness will ease him. He's in his pajamas still, his hands bare, or he'd take hold of Gremio. ]

It was all fine. It was just a...busy night. Restless. It won't last.

[Perhaps luckily, Gremio's worries are somewhat eased. It's enough that he doesn't make any contact with Tyr himself, and he allows himself to begin thinking about breakfast again despite his lingering concern.

...He still thinks Tyr isn't entirely himself, but...he won't force the issue.]

I...I see. I'm certain you were busy with something important, but please don't forget to take care of yourself, too.

[ That makes Tyr smile a bit. He feels like he's lying when he says: ] I won't.

The business is over now, though. [ He lets himself walk past Gremio, to take a seat at the table. ] We can relax now.

[Gremio watches him for assurance that Tyr is--mostly--all right.]

I'm glad, Young Master. Then please do take it easy today, if you may.

[He believes Tyr though, of course, so now his master surely needs a large breakfast after all of his hard work! Now Gremio sets about making those pancakes.]

[ Tyr nods and relaxes at the table, resting his head on his hand. He wants to stop acting like this, but... ]

Thanks. ...Maybe I'll stay in for today.

That's a good idea. [For Tyr to get better!] I'll help ensure that you have a relaxing day, Young Master!

[It seems like those pancakes are ready in no time--he's had no trouble since that amnesia curse. Out of habit, Gremio sets a large stack in front of Tyr and has only a single one himself. Up until now, he's only been eating to retain some normalcy, after all.]

Here you are, Young Master. Would you like anything else?

[ ...Oh dear. Tyr looks at that stack and wonders if he can really eat it all. Usually he could - it helps to be permanently stuck as a growing boy - but he...had no appetite. ]

No, this is more than enough, Gremio...

[ uh uhhhh ] You should eat more than just one pancake yourself, though. [ He stands up in his seat. ] You can have some of mine.

But--Y-Young Master-! [...Oh, is that his stomach growling? Suddenly he realizes he is indeed hungry. So it's not just his heartbeat that's returned...]

Ah...thank you...But are you certain? I can prepare some more for you!

[ He shakes his head and goes ahead in giving them both an equal amount of pancakes. There's something nice in knowing Gremio is hungry. It makes him laugh a little when he responds. ]

It's fine. I'm not that hungry this morning, unlike you.

[He's a little embarrassed, although he can't help but feel a little wondrous, too--he really is alive again. That, and he's always pleased to see Tyr in a good mood.]

Thank you. I-I hadn't realized I would have such an appetite today.

[ Gremio being hungry - so magical. Tyr is certainly in the best mood. ]

You haven't eaten much these past few months; it's not hard to imagine you would be hungry.

[ Tyr takes the opposite seat again to sit down to his breakfast. ]

[And as long as Tyr is in the best mood, Gremio worries less that he might be unwell!]

Ah, you're right. It's...it's quite amazing, really...

[He shakes his head in wonder, and then smiles happily at Tyr.]

Well then, shall we eat, Young Master?

You're going to need to get used to it again.

[ There's never anything to worry about. It'll just be two months; that's not long at all. ]

Yeah, let's.

[ happy happy eating time!! ]

[Oh, but if Gremio knew, there would be much worrying!]

Do you think it will last longer than today, Young Master?

[He's not being pessimistic--he just has no idea what to expect now.]

[ Thankfully, he doesn't yet. Tyr looks up at him with a smile. ] I'm sure it will. Just take care of yourself, Gremio.

[ Slowly eating his pancakes... ]

[Eventually...! And Gremio smiles back brightly.] Yes, Young Master!

[Gremio also eats slowly, having not forgotten his manners, so he's able to still focus on Tyr. He's still a little worried...] Are you feeling all right?

I'm fine... [ He was slower in responding. The pancakes are great. ...he thinks. He can't quite taste them that well.

He wonders if it's better to tell Gremio or let him find out. Really wonders. ] ...Don't worry so much.

[Even with Tyr telling him that, there's no stopping the concern that clouds Gremio's eyes.] Well...Please make sure to get plenty of rest today, all right?

...I will.

[ He can tell how Gremio is feeling, that he isn't being helpful at all. ]

The pancakes are good.

[Gremio makes something of a worried smile, although he's relieved that nothing seems too amiss, at least.]

I'm glad you think so, Young Master. Ah--would you like some fruit on the side?

[ Tyr shakes his head. Please don't smile like that, Gremio. ]

No, I'm fine without. --Do you want some?

[He's never going to not worry! Especially over a tired Tyr with less appetite than usual.]

It's all right, Young Master. This is quite fine for me as well.

[Thinking, thinking while he eats.] Should I ask the others not to bother you so that you can rest properly?

[ He considers it for a moment, moving a bite of pancake around on his plate...

He eventually shakes his head. ] No, it's not that bad. I can deal with it.

... [ Looking up from his plate! ] Do you want to do something together today?

B-but--Young Master-!

["Deal with it" is definitely not an answer he likes. While it's obvious that he'd like to do something together with Tyr, his worry far outweighs anything else.]

I thought you were going to relax today...

[ ...Ah, right, he had said that... ]

I want to relax with you. [ There. Simple answer. It felt like a waste to not spend time with Gremio. ]
