[Well, he expected Sabo’s concern and isn’t surprise the other man’s alert to the sudden change. That’s a good sign. He’ll know how to handle this.] I’m pretty sure… it’s taking effect. [Which is enough to get the other man up and off to the kitchen. Water definitely sounds nice right now…
Shiro nods, but just focuses on trying to rest right now as the heat washes over him like a sudden fever. He’s experienced drugs before. But aphrodisiacs… If he’s ever experienced this before, he doesn’t remember. The feeling’s uncomfortable. All at once, he’s needs a drink, wants a shower, and desires company. The rushing twist of those sensations really throws him for a loop. Not being in full control of his emotions, feelings, and body is frustrating and frightening. Focus… focus on the here and now and don’t think about what your mind is running on. Those aren’t… your thoughts. Focus…]
You said… You’ve been here a few months. [Shiro leans his head back against the chair, eyes closed and face slightly flushed, but it looks like he’s attempting to weather it calmly.] Was it this hot then? [This bland topic isn’t something his body wants to entertain, but it’s something he’s telling his brain to focus on. Boring. Right now, boring and informative is the best combination. Sabo’s answer about the food is instantly heartening and Shiro relaxes a little, his body sinking a bit in the chair.
But another rush of heat has him tensing up again, shoulders rounding and chest and stomach firming under his shirts.] Thanks. That’s… good to hear. [The Paladin is purposefully keeping his breathing measured.] They have to… have a functional society… at least some length… of time. [Part of him wants to ask how long this lasts, but he already predicts the answer is unknown or just depends. Obviously.]
