( Gross! Yet, taking a closer look at the mess inside of that jar tells him that it is a real thing that's been happening. Absolutely fascinating. Petals mixed with blood— he finds a beauty in it that most wouldn't.

Petals first, then stems. Thorns too? Esikko moves, shifting a little too close to Dabi in order to sit next to him on the small bed. He doesn't seem to mind taking up space like this.

Unlike any normal doctor, Esikko is in quite the happy mood, from his body language. Even if he occasionally drops his smile for concentrated looks of thoughtfulness, there's an airy, light way in how he moves, and even his dropping into a seat on the bed feels bouncy. Like he's excited. )

I have a theory.

( For those who know Esikko more, they might have been able to guess from that answer that there was something dangerous afoot. Well, "dangerous," in this case... There's no harm in a little self-indulgence, is there? The true theory is that sex is what can fix this. They're trapped in a sex hotel, of course it makes sense. Sound logic.

However... )

You know, blood isn't the only bodily fluid with magical properties. You can use just about anything, though some are more potent than others, and blood is often the easiest to work with.

( Sure, he sounds way too pleased with all of this, but there's a logic in the way he forms these thoughts. He leans in a little, as if there's much space to do so, and peers carefully at Dabi's face. )

I can think of one way that I just might be able to cure you. What do you think~? Would you like to give it a try?
