[ it is so, so sincerely well-intentioned - so sincerely offered. there's no palatability here so much as there is a shared moment of empathy. a shared chance to have a meal, to spend a little time together, to maybe help soothe some anxiety, be it with a settled stomach or settling company. it does him some good, too.
so he smiles and dips his head. ] I'll be right back.
[ and then skitters off!
it doesn't take too long for him to come back! maybe ten minutes or so, returning with a container from the kitchen - it's nothing fancy, just some crackers and cheese, but he smiles at fidelio as he brings it over. ]
Here. Are there chairs? We can sit just outside and keep the door open.
[ he'll bring over a pair of chairs (one at a time) and situate them so that he has a decent view of inside the room. and then he takes a seat, perching indelicately on one of the chairs with one foot up on the cushion. ]
[ perfect. he comes and settles down in one of the chairs, setting out the little snacks and taking a cracker to munch on - taair's gaze lingers on basilio's form through the door briefly, too, brows knit together. ]
...Was he able to tell you much about what happened?
...I thought as much, by his reaction. [ that big hug... oof. ] How good it is, that he was able to come back to see you alive and well - for as 'well' can be considering the circumstances.
[ it's not exactly good to be terrified by your bleeding sibling and all, but. well. he knows how it feels to see someone you thought died living and breathing in front of you the next day. ]
I get the feeling you two have never really been apart.

Oh, Fidelio...

[ he doesn't feel like it should be a huge surprise; they just didn't die at the same time. ]
