    🌡️ He's not the 'coddling' type

    Look, Jason's not exactly the 'coddling' type. It doesn't come easily. 'Comforting' is not something he considers a skill of his; he's more the 'Buck up, Buttercup' kind of motivator. The guy who'll pick you up, sure, and then tell you to shake it off and get back in it. Not out of lack of care, obviously, just... it's what comes most naturally.

    All that to say, this whole thing is a bit of a challenge for him. Because he's not dumb enough to think you can just shake off the illness that's brought you down this hard. It doesn't work like that - hell, it'd be horrible of him to act like it does. You're doing your best, and this is still kicking your butt, and that sucks, okay? Not like he has to tell you that. It sucks way more for you than for him. But geez, this is rough.

    Of course you've got all the family's support. Of course you've got people looking out for you. Finances aren't an issue; the Wayne fortune makes sure of that. So, you know, small favors? It's let you stay home, be cared for by the people around you, so that's something. He hopes it lasts. Because sometimes it feels like things are getting worse instead of better, and it's... hard to watch.

    You shouldn't have to struggle just to do basic everyday tasks. You shouldn't have so much difficulty just getting up and existing day-to-day. So, you know what? Right now? Maybe he's gotta be a little bit of the coddling type. Because you need help, and Jason can't stand just sitting and not doing anything, and he doesn't know how else to help.

    So yeah okay maybe it's a little overkill helping you out to the couch and fluffing pillows just so and tucking a blanket around you and just sorta hovering, but he really is trying to help. And, y'know, not go mad with worry. That too. You can rag him about it all you want when you're better, okay?
