"Yes, but we have the spring water, possibly more of these peaches although we have to be careful spreading them. We'll stave off the fever until we get a cure." And he is confident they will get one of those. Bruce puts his arms around Tony and drops his chin down to the top of his head, closing his eyes. Holding him close. He is not losing him again, not for any reason.

Bruce chuckles weakly. "What's a cough and fever compared to a moon?" It would be just their luck if a common illness did what an alien psychopath couldn't. "You have to keep hydrated." Dehydration was a major danger with how much people were sweating from the fever burn. Bruce will have to get his hands off Tony in able to get water, and he doesn't plan on doing that just yet. Soon. Maybe. "Remember what a stubborn person you can be." Losing heart and giving up would be easy ways to let the illness win out.
