Eclipse gavehim a soft smile, happy just to see he was there, "Hey love…" he said softly, pulling him closer, "How're you feeling?"

Nil shrugged a little. His stomach let out a growl. "Hungry." He replied quietly, snuggling close to Eclipse and looking up at him.

Eclipse smiled softly, "Do you want me to go get us food? Or do you want to come with me?" he asked softly.

Nik shrugged a little. "I-I don't think I can come with you." He replied softly. "I'm not sure my leg…" He bit his lip.

"You remember that I can carry you, right?" said Eclipse softly, "And there's still hope for your leg… not very much, but it's there."

Nik nodded a little. "Alright. I…I wanna come with you, then." He replied, pushing himself into a sitting position.

Eclipse nodded, yawning and sitting up, hugging him once before standing, then scooping him up. "Alright, now to find food." he said, smiling a little.

Nil held onto him securely, and nodded. "Alright." He replied, the corner of his mouth twitching faintly in a response to Eclipse's smile.

Eclipse hummed softly, cradling the other close to his chest as he headed out of the tent, and towards the common firepit.

Nik held onto him, looking around the camp. His black hair was matted and tangled, and he knew he probably didn't smell too great either.

Eclipse didn't care what the other looked or smelled like, more obvious than usual since he'd cuddled him all night. "We'll get you cleaned up as soon as we get food" he murmured.

Nik nodded a little. "Alright." As they came up to the food tent, Aron spotted them and came over, face lighting up when he saw Nik.
"Hey." He greeted. "How's it going?" He asked, smiling.

"Pretty good" said Eclipse cheerfully, "Any chance there's food about?" he asked, still holding Nik close to him.

Aron smiled. "Yeah, of course." He glanced at Nik again, and led them into the tent.
Nik gave a tiny smile at Aron. "Nice to see you again." He said quietly.
Aron nodded. "Yeah. You too."

eclipse followed Arron's lead with a nod, happy that Nik was smiling again. He wished he could just make everything better all at once, but that was impossible. So this would have to be enough..

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.
