"None at all." Aether replied, standing with a slight flutter of his white wings. He was not gone too long before he returned with a kettle he'd fetched from the palace kitchens.
"The cooks boiled it for me." He said as he set it down, fetching Conrad's mug and placing it beside it.

"Thank you," Sabela said softly, moving to pour the hot water into the mug, before adding the tea leaves to soak.
"How strong should I be making it?..." she asked.

"It's a fairly potent formula." Aether responded quickly, stretching his arms and wings as one. "One or two leaves ought to do it." He added, letting his white feathered wings fall back to his side, furling them neatly. "If he was awake i would suggest sweetening it with honey or something, from memory it does not taste so good." he chuckled.

Delilah wrinkled her nose a little.
"Okay, maybe I should do that anyway..."

"I fetched some for you just in case you said that." Aether said with a laugh as he watched her screw up her nose, producing the pot of honey and placing it down by the kettle and mug.

Delilah smiled; the first time she had done so properly in several days.
"Well, thank you."
She stirred the honey in with Conrad's drink, then placed it down to cool as she moved to prop her cousin up.

Aether watched as Delilah worked, keeping himself available so that he might help if he was needed.
Conrad gave a bit of a groan and tilted his head as Delilah sat him up, and though his eyelids fluttered a little he did not stir.

Very carefully, Delilah slowly began tipping the liquid into her cousin's mouth.
"Don't choke Conrad..." she said quietly with a small smile.

The boy did exactly that at first, not expecting the liquid to be in his mouth. After the initial gag however he begun to slowly swallow the tea, choking only occasionally when the liquid built up to much for his weak throat to swallow.

Delilah cringed a little, but continued her job until the mug was empty, placing it down and settling Conrad again.

"Have you..." Aether began once Conrad was settled, "Know the Prince long? I realise you're family but..." He let the question trail off, trying not to look too confused. He hated to seem like he didn't know what he was talking about XD

"Well, I lived in the Castle while my father was still alive," Delilah said softly, looking down and wringing her hands.
"But before the festival, it had been six years since I'd seen Conrad..."

Aether tried to mask a flinch as he watched her wring her hands with nerves. That mannerism was familiar too. Damn these constant waves of deja vu!
"I suppose, you were glad to see him again then?" They were mostly meaningless questions, simply supplying Aether's urge to hear her speak, desperate to place the similarity he felt.

"Um... y-yes..." Delilah said nervously, put off by the interest.
She couldn't shake the feeling that she was being analysed. With a flash of blue-green eyes, she glanced up quickly to him, trying to figure out the meaning behind the questions.

Aether seemed to catch on to the fact that she knew he was analysing her. He also realised quite quickly that it was making her nervous, and that after all was no his intention.
"Ah, pardon me..." He said, his voice awkward as a slight blush flashed in his cheek. He stood then, meandering to the nearest wall to busy himself as if he was inspecting the murals on the chapel walls.
