The young boy clutched on William´s jacket and he began to tell him about how he felt. It must have been quite some emotional distress that pushed him to ignore his usual principles and of course the illness that had befallen him.
"You got sick and apparently it weakens your body more than normal. Don´t worry though. I have been a witness of such illness before, especially for our kind. It often occurs with mental stress. As you had been quite through some harsh situations and the worries for your friend, this is nothing unusual." William tried to calm him down at least a bit.
The boy confessed about his feelings and that he would like for William to like him. Hm. Emotional bonding towards one´s caretaker wasn´t unusual for William either, especially considering the boy´s past. He dipped his chin down and closed his eyes. "I see." Ah William and his emotions weren´t as simple..."Be assured that I do not dispise nor hate you. I take care of you because I choose it like that. You shouldn´t worry about your neediness or your feelings. Your mind is trying to cope with what has happened." he gently rubbed his back and he opened his eyes, looking softly at him. "Let´s see about your dinner. You are hungry."
William stood up and sat Anguo on a chair while he checked on the pot and food. He got dishes, glasses and forks for them, serving them a nice portion. As he sat, he placed Anguo on his lap and got his bib, which he tied around him. "There." He looked quite adorable with the old fashioned bib, ornated by a little duck on the corner.
He got the food and blew on it before offering it to him. "It might be a bit hot, be careful. Tell me if it is to your tastes."
