After two days of staying in bed, Basileus was nearly recovered. Stitches had already been removed by the doctor and he was slowly beginning to walk around again. His color had returned to normal, but he was becoming stir crazy, unable to exercise.
Each time he insinuated that he was going to go train, Varya would get upset with him. He enjoyed having her there as he recovered, but his pride would take a blow each time she insisted he hadn't regained his strength yet. He didn't have the energy to argue with her because of her serious expression whenever she spoke to him.
