"Got your clothes dry," Jay said as he poked his head into the bedroom. Surely he hadn't heard his partner say what he thought he said. He walked over to the bed and looked down at Elle. She looked like a little angel snuggled in Kay's arms. "So, how is she?"
"Alright. Her burn's still hurting her but it doesn't look like the infection's starting up again. No more redness or swelling than could be expected for a burn and she doesn't feel warm." Kay said as he carefully felt her forehead to confirm that her skin was still normal temperature.
"Poor thing," Jay murmured. He wasn't really worried about Elle, though. He knew that she was going to be just fine, at least if his partner had anything to say about it. "Do you want me to make something for her to eat?"
"No. Let's let her sleep for awhile. She needs all the rest that she can get right now."
"Fine. I'll just be checking the outside of the cabin, making sure everything is nice and safe, if you need me," Jay said as he hurried off.
As soon as his partner was gone, Kay slipped out of bed and quickly pulled on his shorts and pants. At least now he wouldn't have to worry about a repeat of the trouble with the towel. Then he slipped across the room and knelt on the floor, pressing his hand on one of the floorboards to raise it.
"Hey, is Elle alright? I could hear her whimpering outside." Jay called as he came back in a moment later just in time to see his partner removing something from a hidden space beneath the floorboard and shove it into his pocket before Jay could get a look at it.
"She's fine. Just a little lonely," Kay said as he moved back to the bed and slipped under the covers, gathering Elle into his arms again. At the feel of his touch, she snuggled up to him, wrapping her arms around him to make sure he wasn't going anywhere. "Go on. Check outside."
As soon as Jay was gone again, Kay leaned down and gently kissed Elle's forehead. "You have to get better now," he whispered to her. "Get better so I can show you a little surprise."
