[It doesn't really matter what Ignis says, just the soothing cadence of his words ease some of the fear. The pet name is something that barely registers, a burst of something warm in his chest and a soft hum of appreciation. A sound that's repeated when Ignis takes his hand and kisses his knuckles and all he wants to do is wrap himself around his friend and pretend none of this happened.
But then Ignis is pressing something into his hands and he blinks at him for a long moment, confused and having trouble tracking. Water? Right... yes... drinking.
It takes a little bit of squirming to be upright enough to drink comfortably, each movement sending fresh lances of pain through his body. He has to take a moment to catch his breath before he can take a drink. A small sip at first, then a larger one. He shouldn't chug it and he knows that but what stops him is the way tilting his head back makes the world tilt unsteadily.]
shit... [Soft and his voice wavers just as much as the world is.] Mmm... got the water just- oh... just dizzy.
