[Initially, he ignores the others. Their questions, their actions, their comments- he doesn't seem to pay them any heed. Instead, he's focusing solely on his crewmate lying in bed. He is using the wet towel to dab around Lloyd's forehead gently before resting it on his head again. His other hand will go rest on Lloyd's wrist- trying to be a calming presence.]
[When he speaks, it's almost in an uncharacteristically calm and soothing manner - even casual despite the fact everything's kinda gone to hell at the moment. But it sounds like one he's used to speaking in. Maybe not for Lloyd, but he's had more than enough practice in bedside manner with Seles and other patients.]
Uh huh. You say that, but I'm not so sure. [He uses that thumb on his wrist to discreetly check his pulse. It's still beating strong, good.] Now c'mon. I know it hurts, but you have to try to relax. You're perfectly safe. I'm here and so's Flora and Riku.
[And you know, Cole & Company. But whatever. demons probably not the key to relaxation]
How about...try making a list of all those dwarven vows, hm? You can do that much, right?
[At least...hopefully that'll be a good distraction from how much it hurt. Kaneis could recall busying himself with making a list of square roots during his own episodes]
