Mal continued eating quietly, enjoying the delicious food, and occasionally would glance up to look at Camron. He was kind of worried about how nervous Camron had been acting, as it is bad for your health to be too stressed, and started to try and think up a plan to de-stress him.

~
(It's ok! I hope you start to feel better soon and get some good rest as well as the results come back with good things. Take your time when replying, if you need to rest go rest please.)

[He continued to eat. He kept his guard up quite a bit in a slight worry something could happen if he didn't. "The food is good." He spoke after a moment.]

(I'm so sorry- I really didn't realize how hard this situation with me would hit me. I haven't been very okay physically so it's affecting me mentally as a result. I have been working to like, get better physically, it's been a process and I'm still far from okay physically (like I almost passed out while shopping today, I'm working to get better but it's taking time)

-

I should be showing actual signs of recovery after a week, I'm hoping I'll calm more mentally in that process.

-

moral of all this; don't joke about your physical health and actually take care of yourself, and I also will be trying to reply but if I disappear for a day or two, I'm so sorry.)

Malcolm nodded with a small smile at Camron's answer. "Well I'm glad you like it," he says softly with the smile on still on his lips. He noticed that Camron seemed to be kind of tense and looks down at his bowl, stirring his food some, before saying, "Do you know how to relax any Camron?"

(It's ok! I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to physical recovery but I would suggest doing smaller tasks and when you get tired take a break. Also try to eat healthy food that is high in nutrients that you need. Other than that I hope you get better soon!)

["I do have to say it's good, the chiefs here are good at their jobs." He responded to Maclom before continuing to eat. He looked up slightly at Malcolm's second comment, "Pardon?" Camron spoke after a slight pause.]
-

(ahh I'm sorry again, it's been a long couple days-

-

also I've mostly been resting, I don't remember if I mentioned it but most of my issue was in low iron so I've basically been eating a lot of iron rich foods (literally; breakfast in the mornings is a bowl of 7.2 iron cereal and a 25mg iron supplement pill).

-

little fun fact I learned: apparently, if you just joke about your low iron and joke about how you are low iron, it doesn't fix the fact you are low iron (I would always joke about it) then you just crash one day and can't go back to normal for quite a while (and that quite a while has to be spent working towards leveling your iron completely), like I've almost fainted so much recently-

-

either way- I'm working to get everything back to normal, it may take a while, like according to my doctor my iron levels were dangerously low, but I should get it back to normal

-

This is like my post-ly reminder that I may be a little slow and I apologize for it x.x I have a lot on my mind that's around the current issues)

"You always get really tensed up or nervous," Malcolm says, putting his spoon down as he spoke, "I understand your job is to protect me but too much stress can kill a person you know. So, I was asking if you know how to relax. I mean, there are always guards patrolling the castle and it is highly unlikely that someone tries to break in and either kidnap me or kill me. So why act so nervous if we are in a safe place?"

~
(That's ok! I hope you get back to normal soon and get more iron in you. Maybe, and this is only a suggestion, try snacking on things that have a decent amount of iron in the more. I hear that dried fruit is good to get more iron. Other than that get well soon and again if you need a break take it!)

[Camron stared at him for a moment as he listened to his words. "You truly never know. It is better be on guard and be safe than to miss something and cause a death. It is my job to protect you, even at the cost of my own life."]
-

(It's 2:33am when typing this- its most likely pretty bad- I'm very tired-)

"Yes but if you are too stressed then you might be the cause of your own death," Malcolm states, "I have heard of people dying from stress Camron. I would rather you not be the next one to be spoken about. So, this is my proposal." As he says this he sits up straighter and looks at Camron with a calm face. "I propose that until my arm gets better you will find time to relax and de-stress," he says, "I can't do too many activities anyway, so while I am resting I want you to try to figure out how to get rid of all of that stress you have."

~
(Oml only 6:00 am when I am writing this)

["I won't die of stress, and I truly believe it's better to be safe than sorry, I could let my guard down and something could happen, you truely never know what can happen, there may be guards but you never know." He watched malcom closely as he spoke. "I really am fine." He added after a moment.]
-

(I am so sorry to vanish again, I've been preparing to get Guinea pigs which has taken a whole lot of time due to needing to rearrange some things in my room, deep clean my room, get supplies, and I'm still working on everything, ontop of it I'm still recovering iron levels x.x. I'll try to be more quick with replies, I just got extremely busy out of thin air-)

Malcolm was about to say otherwise to Camron's answer but stopped himself. He didn't want to start an argument with Camron and make him more upset or annoyed than he already was. So instead Mal went back to eating his curry quietly, enjoying his favorite food once more.

~
(That's ok! I hope you enjoy your new pets and that you had an amazing Christmas! Also I hope that you continue to get those iron levels back to normal.)

[He watched him quietly as he sat in a loss of appetite. Every once in a while he glanced at the food debating if he should eat before deciding against it each time with a sigh.]
