"I know why that it is.  It's because I'm a wolf and my senses are much better than a human's.  You'll see."  She nuzzled against him, even giving a lazy lick to the bite mark.  It was comfortable laying on top of him at the moment, her limbs heavy and her whole body feeling lazy.  With a little wiggle, she settled in, tucking her head under his chin as her eyes began to blink slowly, remaining closed longer than they stayed open.  A yawn was swallowed as she considered his question.  "A couple hours, I think.  Supposedly you'll feel like you have the worst flu ever.  Fever, aching, chills, all that stuff.  The first that should happen is the fever and based on the timeline I read in a book once, that should happen sometime during the night.  I think it lasts four to five days until you feel normal again.  But not human normal... wolf normal."  Her voice started to trail off towards the end.  This yawn couldn't be stifled nor did she even bother to try.  One more little nuzzle against his chest to get comfortable, a deep sigh, and the woman was drifted off to sleep.<br/><br/>A few hours later, perhaps, Amaris woke up from a dream where she had been laying on a bed of coals.  It took almost a full minute for her to understand that while the bed of coals part was a dream, the man she was laying on was practically burning up with fever.  A grimace passed over her face.  Surely he couldn't be comfortable.  With a soft sigh, she slid off her lover and the bed, bare feet landing quietly on the floor.  He needed water, she knew that much.  Figuring he might get cold without her warmth covering him, she paused to pull the blankets up, covering him to his neck.  She padded on silent feet to the kitchen.  The first glass of water she filled from the tap, she drank greedily, downing the whole thing rather quickly.  The second glass she filled was the one she brought to Blake.  One small hand slipped under his neck to lift his head.  "Hey, babe.. you need to drink some of this water, okay?"  Holding the glass to his lips, she poured a little into his mouth then set the glass down on the nightstand.  Amaris had never nursed anyone through this so she hoped she was doing the right thing.
