That makes him smile briefly in spite of himself; the teen is pretty fond of cats so he finds Gamzee's 'headbut' to be somewhat cute. ''..doesn't seem like you have a fever at least'' he mumbles as he removes his hand, hoping that Gamzee didn't notice his earlier reaction. ''You're more cool than warm at any rate.''

''Someone got to remind you that you have to eat?!'' Have an incredulous stare. ''God, you're hopeless..'' And then a sigh. ''I'll just have to drag your sorry ass of to dinner every once in a while then.'' Really, that wasn't such a bad deal for his part either come to think of it; he was getting along pretty well with the troll, and having some company in the cafeteria from time to time could be nice.

''Well.. great.'' The comment makes him feel somewhat embarrassed, but it's nice to know that Gamzee is doing a bit better. ''Piles should have some sort of backrest'' the half-Italian idly remarks as he pulls up one knee close to his chest and leans back slightly while using his arms for support; the troll's open posture unconsciously inspires him to ease up more too.
