kana suddenly shakes his head-- that's probably the third time the past minute.

You both are seated in front of the small table, was just discussing about the winter growing even colder as of recently, the possibilities of the war between races losing a bit of steam in the meantime. Albeit it's been long since he started going quiet, more focused on trying to keep himself awake, blinking rapidly as you try to do your part of the conversation so he has something to rely on as a distraction from his growing drowsiness. But perhaps it's backfiring-- it feels more like you're lulling him to sleep than doing the opposite no matter how he tries to fix his attention on your words.

He manages to take a sip from his cup of coffee. 5th cup today-- that can't be healthy. Does it serve its purpose? Well.. His sluggish, thoughtless movements tell you caffeine isn't doing much anymore.

Just on the next room, Kanari's younger sister, Shiko, lies in the warmed up bed, fever still running-- but a bit calmer now, thankfully. But the man is still insisting not to sleep just yet-- sometimes you get reminded how worrisome he can be when it comes to the people important to him.

"{{user}}.. Sorry, can you pass me the thermos?" Kana says, more of a mumble than anything. His request sounds softer, weaker-- but in a way, more gentle than usual in the hoarser voice of his. Hot water, he means, because he's reaching out to the jar on the table's center of ground coffee beans again.
