"I'll be fine. The moon goddess may be a little annoyed with me, but she'll get over it." Kalon laughed airily, relaxing more as Phoebe soothed him. They would definitely be more relaxed tonight, so he could fix the mistakes more easily. "Is it starting to get dark yet?" They asked.
She laughed softly, peering out the window and noticing how it hadn't started to get dark just yet.
"Not quite, but soon.' She spoke, seeing how the sun was going down, but it hadn't started to get dark just yet.
Kalon nodded a bit. "I'll have to leave you soon, then… you promise to get some rest and stay put?" He asked, looking up at Phoebe to get her reassurance that she would be alright without them there.
"Aw..well just know I will be cheering you on from her, although I will also miss you.' She smiled at him.
"I promise to get rest, and stay here.'
Kalon nodded again and smiled softly. "I'll return as soon as I can. I may be asleep for a while when I do, but then I'm all yours." After a few more minutes, they left to go attend to the stars.
"Take all the time you need kalon, I will await your presence until you come again." She smiled at him, waving him off when ye went to leave.
Kalon headed off to where he needed to be and got started on attending to his duties, and also fixing the mistakes they'd made the night before. In the morning, they were exhausted, and he returned to where Phoebe was looking pale and unsteady.
Phoebe was stretching out her wings when he returned, making sure to check on the feathers growth.
She gasped when he walked in. "Kalon!"
Kalon smiled weakly as he staggered closer and clumsily sat down on the bed. "Hi, Phoebe… did you sleep well…?" They asked softly. He definitely needed to get some rest, but he wanted to check on her first.
Her eyes were a little bit panicked as she saw what state he was in. ."why are you worried about me?? You should be resting!" She huffed at him.
"I'm fine, I'm fine… just had a lot to do…" Kalon lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, his eyelids fluttering a bit. "And I'm worried because you're hurt… are you feeling any better?"
She still looked at him, worried and nervous at his state.
"Im doing a lot better, I will be able to leave sooner then you might think. Will you please rest?"
Kalon nodded a bit and allowed his eyes to close. "Mm… fine, fine, I'll rest… just wanted to make sure you were okay…" And with that, they were out. His breathing gradually became more steady, and as they rested, his face started to regain its color too.
"Yes, and I am fine kalon..sleep peacefully." She spoke softly, running a hand through his hair in a calming motion. Basically massaging his head as she smiled down at him.
Kalon was definitely out for longer than usual, taking almost three hours to start stirring at all. Eventually, he whined and grumbled softly, and they blinked a couple of times as they awoke. "Mmnh…?" He looked up at Phoebe tiredly.
She was reading a book when she noticed he was waking up and went to put a book mark in it and set it to the side before she moved to headpat kalon.
"Morning sleepyhead."
"Morning…" Kalon yawned and sat up, wincing a bit. His head was aching since he didn't usually sleep for so long, and they still looked a bit out of it.
"Good morning kalon, did you have a good rest?' She smiled down at him, looking like an angel with the beam of light from the window shinning on her from above.
"Mmnh… good as possible, I suppose." Kalon groaned in reply and sat up, rubbing his temples with his fingers. "I'm sure I'll recover soon, though. You?" They asked softly, looking over to Phoebe with his cheeks lightly flushed.
"Well that's good to here." She smiled at him softly, tilting her head ever so slightly at him. Her hair glistened in the sunlight from the window.
She moved to give his head a pat pat.
"Eh..? Your face looks red, are you sure you shouldn't sleep more..?"
Kalon blinked a couple times and then flushed more. "Oh! No, no, I'm alright. It's nothing, really. I've probably rested longer than I should have anyway…" He sighed softly and leaned into Phoebe's touch. "How are you feeling?"
"But- kalon your face is even redder. Are you sure..?" She moved to place a hand on his forehead to check for his temperature.
"I'm fine, I'm fine…" Kalon insisted, closing his eyes with a soft sigh. He felt warm to the touch, but only from being flushed, not from fever. "I assure you I'm perfectly alright, Phoebe."
"Okay…you still feel a bit warm though so maybe you should rest more." She spoke, still having a hand on his face. She moved to place her forehead on his before pulling away.
