No, the pool is fine. [ And Keita's legs are jelly, so it's a good thing he really doesn't mind. He doesn't move as Wriothesley disrobes and joins him in the water, which comes to just about hip-deep on Wriothesley but comes to Keita's mid-chest where he's sitting against the rock wall.
When Wriothesley sits next to him, the relief in Keita's expression is obvious. His mere presence cools the water around them by notable degrees, and Keita almost immediately shifts to lean against his arm, a bit abashed by the forwardness of the gesture and yet totally unable to resist the allure of cooler water. ]
That feels wonderful. [ It won't do much to quell the root cause of his feverishness, Keita knows, but it certainly helps to address the symptoms. He shivers, goosebumps rising along his back. ]
