Real shinobi aren't sick, damnit!

[maddyragequits]

This was exactly what went through Madara's head when he felt the fever threatening him. There was only so much he could do to push it back with willpower. He had better things to do than stay in bed!

He'd tried to find something to help against sucha thing, but really, all he remembered from similar situations were.... yeah, well, his mother pampering him, but that was really stupidly rare an occurence! He figured sick children makes everyone stupidly wibbly, and it's worse in mothers. He was grateful for being taken good care of, but... well.. he was on his own now.

Even though his usual clothes his most of his skin, the rashes were vivid, ugly.... and he tried to keep himself from looking in a mirror, or at his hands.
Unable to even bother himself to try and cook one of the simple things he could cook, he settled on drinking some juice while hoping this would just pass.
Except just as he thought that, the fever only seemed to get worse...

He gathered the clothes to stick in the wash, trailing after the boy and taking in the extent of the damage with a discerning eye. No good. Still, he just dumped off the dirty cloth and moved to carefully pick out something that was softer than what the boy had been wearing, setting it by the tub to the side where he didn't put the towel, and set about looking for the soothing cream he knew was amid the things he'd initially bought the child. That got set next to the clothes.

He tried the soap, because really, it could only help, and after a good wash and some lounging because water did feel good, he let the water drain and dried himself before applying the cream he had spotted, feeling better by a vast margin, although the headache still stuck. He got clothed and brought the towel and bath mat to the wash as well.

"That... did a lot of good." he admitted. His eyes did have more of a light in them too.

"I'm glad. You should perhaps rest, so that you get better faster?" He inclined his head toward the bedroom.

"..hm.. yeah... I don,t feel any hungry, and that bath... felt too nice." he murmured. "You don't... have to stay here. I'll probably feel better after sleeping, so... " he gave a slow blink. "...thanks."

He once again brushed his fingers through his hair, then nodded once. "I'll be by to check on you again this evening."

Then he stepped back and turned to go.

For his part, the boy murmured a goodbye and went into his room, to sleep.... and so he would remain even once the Hokage came back.
