(That's ok!)

"No, it's ok," he says reassuringly, "I can get it. You can start eating though." He continues to put away the chess set until it was all packed up, which took only a couple minutes. Mal then stands and takes the box back to the shelf in the closet. He then grabs a bowl of curry and sits back down where he was originally, putting the bowl in front of him in the table.

[Camron watched him hesitantly before sitting. He watched him put the box away quietly before his eyes followed him grab the bowl. He stood and walked over to grab one before sitting down once more, "I could of handled it-" he said after a moment.]

(okay uh- two things, one; I'm sorry this is so short. Two; I'm so sorry, kind of recently something has happened, it's taken a toll on me mentally and very recently I was quite injured and it has made things a lot worse, I may be extremely slow to reply for a while while as I calm down a little)

"I know you could have," Mal says as he takes a small bite of curry then swallows before continuing, "but even though you are my guard, doesn't mean you are my servant. I still want to be able to do stuff even with an injured arm though. If not then I might die of boredom." He lets out a small chuckle as he says the last sentence before eating his curry a bit more.

(It's ok! I just hope that you get feeling better soon both mentally and physically. I don't mind if you need a break for a bit to recover, take as much time as you need and come back refreshed.)

["I know you want to do things but I feel like it would be better if you did not strain your arm, doing so could cause so much more damage than good." He say stiffly while watching him. Camron didn't make an attempt to go for the food as he sat there.]
-

(I am so sorry about how late this reply was, I'm finally mostly healed from my injury and I'm also doing a bit better mentally. My replies might be on the shorted side for a while so I can actually keep up with them, sorry.)

Malcolm was going to make a counterargument to this but actually found that Camron was right about this. After a few minutes of hesitation Mal finally nods and says, "Ok, I'll try to not do so many things with my bad arm then. I promise." He then goes back to eating his curry quietly.

~
(I'm happy that you are feeling better! Also, don't worry about how late the reply is, you had to have some time off and I understand. And short replies are ok too since you still are recovering.)

["Thank you." He said after a moment of watching him, it would be horrible for your injury to become worse." He crossed his arms as he sat continuing to ignore the food.]
-

(Ahh so sorry! I'm very scattered and I'm also still mentally recovering from my injury so I kind of forgot to reply. I'll try to get better as replying sooner.)

He nodded some before looking up from his food to see that Camron hadn't touched his yet. "You have permission to eat you know," he says, "you don't have to wait or anything."

~

(It's alright!)

[Camron glanced at Malcolm as he spoke before staring at a him for a moment in hesitation. "Thank you." He said after a moment before beginning to eat quietly while still keeping a fair amount of focus on Malcolm.]

-

(Okay, sorry it's late, i thought I replied last night but I think I accidentally blanked out while replying then forgot and went to bed-

-

Also, something I want to mention, Camron's name purposely does not have the E because he is based off of another character who I made that was named Camron without the E due to a spelling error (I struggle with spelling, it's an issue with me). His name not having an E is how it is meant to be, if I do spell it with an E, either my phone autocorrected or I'm accidentally mixing him up with a character in another roleplay who is named Cameron- sorry if it gets annoying, also sorry is Camron's personality gets a little weird, this and another roleplay are my two only active roleplays and two characters from the other roleplay have similar personalities to Camron but with several issues causing them to be a lot more anxious, hesitant, and unfocused which can mess me up because Camron is meant to be a little anxious but due to my scatter brain it's been causing him to seem a little too anxious and hesitant (at least in my eyes). I'm working on sorting it but my biggest barrier is the fact I do these roleplay replies at night when I'm tired and I'm having quite a time right now that's causing me to be extremely scatterbrained.

-

I really hope this made sense-

-

also sorry my reply is so short compared to this message, I'm just trying to clarify things and I didn't really have an idea on how to reply at the moment, sorry)

Mal nodded, as he was unable to answer since he had already put another spoonful of curry in his mouth. He absolutely loved this stuff and hoped that Camron would like it too, or at least not hate it.

~
(It's ok, I know how things can be when replying. Also if any of that mix up stuff happens I will probably either ignore it or just work with it either way, since Mal's personality changes every now and again for me too.)

[Camron continued to eat quietly as his mind began to wander slightly. He looked up abruptly at Malcolm for a moment out of a realization of his lost focus before eating again.]

(okay so- before I say what I want to say; I am accident prone as hell-

-

I know I just like recovered from an accident, it was quite a time for me, but I do was to give a slight disclaimer that I'm a little tired and shaken right now, I may still be a little shaken tomorrow, I spent quite a bit of time in urgent care today which was spent on a lot, I mean a lot, of tests. I'm okay but I'm exhausted (it was over five hours for something i didn't realize was as bad as it was) and i may be a little shaken tomorrow. Basically what I'm trying to say is I've been working on my replies but they may be a little weird today and tomorrow, I should be fairly okay by Friday, I don't know for sure, it's been a day, I also get some test results back either tomorrow or Friday so another fair warning; I may possibly be a little iffy if those results turn out badly.

-

just trying to give a warning ahead of time, it's been a long day, it may be a longer week if my results from some tests are messed up)
