[ Sharon sips at her own tea, leaning against the countertop as she watches Caelus. When he finally starts writing, her eyes follow the movement of the pen across the page. A tadpole fucked him up—her expression darkens a little at that, fucking Sleep—but she can't say she's surprised he fought through it. Caelus strikes her as the kind of person who would give up his voice for the people he cares about without hesitating.
Hell, she's pretty sure he'd give up his life for them, too. It's part of why she likes him so much. He's all warmth and stubborn, determined sunlight. ]
Your friends are lucky to have you, Caelus. [ Her voice softens around the words. ] That couldn't have been easy.
[ When Sharon says such sweet words, Caelus blushes just a little. Not from shyness, but happiness to hear it. He doesn't write a response to that, instead choosing to beam another genuine smile. It says everything he wants to.
"Thank you so much!"
Of course, Caelus doesn't forget why he's here in the first place. He places down everything he's holding for now, then shifts so he can search the contents of his messenger bag. Eventually, he takes out what Sharon requested.
A medium-sized plastic bag, filled with various snacks, including strawberry Pocky, KitKats, potato chips, and her favorite snack cakes. The snack cakes are assorted too, from Reese's cups to Twinkies, even foreign ones like Lotte Choco Pie. He offers it right over.
[ Sharon is genuinely surprised when Caelus brings out the plastic bag. She'd expected maybe a snack cake or two at most, not an entire bag of goodies. She takes it from him with a kind of careful reverence, glancing over the note before peeking inside, then lifting those wide blue eyes back to his. ]
You didn't have to go this crazy. [ The protest is soft and half-hearted, warmth already creeping into her voice. ] But... thanks, Caelus.
[ She sets the bag carefully on the counter, quietly delighted despite herself, already making a mental note to do something thoughtful for him in return. He's helped her so much since arriving, more than she can properly put into words, and it's long past time she finds some way to pay him back.
And then something strikes her. ] Have you tried throat spray? I'm pretty sure we've got some in one of the medicine cabinets. It tastes terrible, but it's numbing. [ Not quite the best pay back, but one step toward something better. ]
Hearing about the throat spray has Caelus immediately perking up. Actually, he's been holding back on using the medicinal supplies at the hotel because he wants someone else to use them, as he thinks he can endure things well. But⦠when offered straightforwardly like this, he doesn't want to reject it, because it's the best way to respect someone's wishes for him to get better.
In this case, Caelus wants to acknowledge Sharon's sweet thoughts, and so he accepts her compassion with a warm expression. ]

There's a raccoon sticky note attached to the plastic bag, written: ]
SHARON!
EAT WELL, CHEER UP!
