[Caterina follows Ichigo and when they reach Ezio, she stands for a moment, taking in the situation. She kneels beside the bed and checks his breathing and pulse, then stands and nods.]
He's been like this since this morning?
[While she talks she starts adjusting him on the bed a little, shifting him over so he's lying on his back, pulling the covers over him, making sure the pillow is underneath his head, that sort of thing.]

[He looks away, shrugging helplessly.]
When he didn't, I knew that was when I should get a hold of you.
no subject
Quietly, she says,]
Grazie, Ichigo.
[Then, as if she's just realized he's witnessed her having a tender moment, she stands up again and looks at Ichigo, all seriousness again.]
I'm going to stay with him.
no subject
[And get crushed I MEAN-
But he nods.]
Alright. That's probably for the best, anyway.
no subject
[She sounds worried. But damn if she's going to let that rule her. She takes a breath and steels herself and nods.]
Va bene. Stay if you like, but I will let you know if... something happens.
[Like if he wakes up. Or dies.]
no subject
....Okay. Thanks.
I think...I'm going to go. I still have a couple of things I've got to do.
[He looks at her.]
But I'll stop in at least once every day.
[Because like hell he's going to just not check up on him.]
no subject
I will see you later then.
