week 4 - after the execution (were you expecting this much sin to start)
[ Thankfully, Undyne caught Break while swooning, which truly saves him from just cracking his head on something. Thanks, Undyne! ]
[ Wherever Gilbert manages to drag Break, it's probably a worrying while for him. Even if Break is unconscious, those deathshocks still affect him, so his breathing stays even, but rapid and heavy, like he's eternally trying to catch his breath, and he sweats fairly heavily. It probably doesn't sound good either, considering the state of Break's lungs (probably), so his breath rattles with effort the longer he's out.
Yet roughly four hours after he passes out, he suddenly takes a much deeper breath as he awakes that definitely has a note to it that implies a certain sense of fear. Hopefully Gilbert isn't nearby, because Break sits up in a flash and swings a fist. He also reaches for his cane where it would normally be sitting at his bedside, but I'm going to say that luckily, Gilbert had the sense to not put that in his reach so that turbosin doesn't happen... ]

no subject
But oh, oops, he almost forgot that Break was suffering from Extreme Chest Pains since he was acting so normal?! CONCERN. Gilbert's brow immediately furrows and he (very quickly) leaves the topic of scarves behind to go get a glass of water.]
Here— Don't push yourself too hard. The effects will still last until the morning, even if you're awake.
[He Knows.]
no subject
[ If nothing else, the coughing fit at least gets Break to shut up, because even if Break acts normally under stress, this is because he's more or less used to it. He's at least not coughing up blood, but he does sit up a bit as Gilbert gets water, since he'll take a glass now. ]
It's not that bad...
[ And comparatively speaking, it isn't. The pain and exhaustion that comes when he uses the Mad Hatter is far worse, and he's learned to bear that as best he can. He takes a glass of water and takes a generous swig of it before he pulls the glass away with a sigh. ]
It just... caught me by surprise.
no subject
Even if it's not that bad, you should rest as much as you can.
[He doesn't even believe the "it's not that bad" part though.]
no subject
[ Break responds extremely petulantly, but he quickly finishes off the glass of water before mopping at his brow again. At least now that he's conscious, he's getting used to death shocks in a way that only Break can. It's like he's used to pushing his limits and then breaking down because of it... Weird. ]
I'll rest as much as I can until Friday, at least. The end of the week is naturally more important anyways, so it's not as if I'll be missing anything.
no subject
But Gilbert seems satisfied with that response and nods.]
Then I'll do what I can to help. I'll see about that yarn, and if I catch wind of anything, I'll report it immediately.
[Now he's Break's ears too, apparently.]
