"Not...onerous? I just need to eat and wait." Resting would probably help too, but if he has to stay here where everyone can see him doing nothing he'll scream.
"But if you stay for some of the time, that would make me feel better about it all."
He stretches several long, flat, tentacle-like limbs in different directions, wrapping very gently around Jedao's dark spots, soothing more of the ache.
"I can do that. I can stay at least some of the time." He hesitates, then confesses, "I-I think I'm... too restless to stay the whole time. I want to- to help."
"That doesn't surprise me at all," Jedao says, in a very warm voice, shuddering just a little as the pain retreats. "We're all very lucky to have you with us."
