[When the emotions have settled down, Duval is going to think back on how Purple has described a standard injection and Shigeru being Shigeru, and laugh.
Right now, though, Purple leaning into his touch emboldens Duval again. He brings his other hand up to just barely cup Purple's cheek, touching them exactly how he originally intended. He wanted to cradle their face and feel the warmth that should be returning to them. He wanted to make sure they were really there and well again.]
You feel warmer already. What a relief. [There's even relief in the small smile he offers Purple.
(He'll have to thank Shigeru later. Maybe.)]
You should still take it easy, though. Rest here as long as you want.
[When he said he'd do anything Purple wanted, he meant anything. Including hosting them and keeping a watchful, fussy eye on them.]
