James put his hand on her back, hoping to send the same gentle message she had tried to. It seemed to work, as standing didn't distract her. He left for the kitchen, and came back with two bowls of different snacks. His had m&ms, while hers had several eggs. Coffee came soon after, and he made sure to put hers on ice before bringing it in. She flickered yellow at it at first, until he put his hand on her again.
She hesitantly took a sip, and as her spots shifted into a bright blue she drank the rest down. She beamed at him, wiggling in her seat. "Phhank yuu.", she managed.
James smiled back, "Wow! Uhh...you're welcome! You're fast...more?" She didn't understand that one, and flickered white and green. He gestured to her cup. She understood that, and nearly shoved it into his hands in excitement. He laughed, and brought the coffee pot and sugar into the room. By the time he got back, all of her eggs were gone. He'd forgotten all about finishing breakfast in the hustle of everything that ensure her coffee incident.
Then she grabbed a handful of his chocolate bits. Those, too, we're gone rather quickly. Along with another full cup of coffee soon after he sat down. After several minutes of videos and work, she began to doze off. He looked at the coffee and the chocolate.
"Wonder which one of those made you tired... Probably for the best. I could use a nap, too.", he said half-groaning as he stood. Whichever of the two had her drowsy, it was a powerful sedative. He had to nearly carry her back to the tub. By the time they made it she was starting to shine purple. He decided he really needed to figure out what these colors meant, as he slid her into the water. He closed the door behind him, and set an alarm for an hour before laying down himself.
