Back and forth Declan went, handling things around the apartment, setting the electric kettle to going - he knew what to do, he'd just never needed to - and getting the water and medicine. The pill bottles he set on the table, the water he pressed lightly to Aoba's forehead to let him know it was there before setting it next to the pills. Then he was off again, checking the kettle - which wasn't on it's way yet - and breaking down the old bed to replace it with the new. The bed was actually less troubling for him than the tea, really. He had all the patience in the world for simple things, but when someone else was in distress that patience evaporated.
Tick tick tick, the minutes went by, Declan as quiet as he could as he thumped around in his bedroom behind the closed door, only peeking out to check on Aoba or the tea. Eventually the kettle finished boiling and Declan padded back out, a little sweaty from all the lifting and moving, but pleased with his work. Carefully pouring two cups and setting little loose tea balls into the cups, Declan returned to the couch, setting one of the cups near Aoba.
"Miss Levante sent this over. It's supposed to be good for migraines. It's got...uh...chamomile, lemon balm, feverfew....uh...um..." Declan faltered, silver eyes looking down into his own cup. Fortunately Gost picked up for him.
"Skullcap, passion flower and ginger root. It's a common herbal remedy and many of the natural humans in the Tower use it."
Declan nodded slightly, sniffing his tea before sipping it. He didn't have a headache, but he wasn't about to make Aoba suffer through anything he hadn't tasted himself. Fortunately, aside from being a tad on the mediciny side of flavors it wasn't bad. Maybe a little sugar or something would help, but he didn't want to add anything that might take away from the overall effectiveness of it.
"You just keep resting," Declan murmured, nodding to himself and taking another sip of the tea. "I'm going to finish up in the bedroom. Don't worry about dinner. I'll...order something for you. I don't need anything, remember?"
