[ What he might initially see is just her holding her arm (which is bandaged all the way to her shoulder) and her in her miqo'te separates outfit, which is the easiest outfit to bandage herself in. And wearing a cloak over herself.
She does seem flushed, though, and when she spots him, she moves over to the window, trying to play it off though her eyes do adjust to the darkness to look over him. ]
... what did you do.

[ WHAT IS THIS COLD CHILL DOWN HIS SPINE?? ]
What do you mean, what did I do?
[Surely parroting it back at her will distract her yes? He climbs up, over, into the room, in careful, measured, movements. Sets the medicine box and thermos down to gently close the window..............
Definitely not avoiding the question.]
I am not your delivery man.

You're my beloved. I think I'm allowed to ask you a little more than others.
[ Blunt, but his reaction is confirming he did, in fact, do something stupid (like her, not that she knows he did the same stupid thing).
She thanks him for what he's brought under her breath, though for a moment she just. Pushes her head against his chest. She is burning up. ]
I know you were helping Settrigh.
[ With what, she doesn't know yet, but she actually means to be appreciative that he was. How Dan Feng translates that, though... ]

[ for this... vastella has to channel a lot of their healing capability. sett has seen it before - a halo and a golden glow - but this time a faint visual of their own moth wings appear and the halo is much larger and more intricate. even the glow is much brighter, almost blinding. dan feng will find his tail slowly but surely regenerating... he'll feel a pleasant warmth spread throughout the appendage as it forms, but the shock comes all at once, like a swift kick in the ass, and then all three heads are glaring at him. ]
[ and then they turn to sett. ] Why did you need to feed on him? You mentioned a deer woman. Explain.

[There's a visceral relief at watching Danny get pulled back from, probably quite literally, the brink of death.
Setts ears pin down further. Somehow.]
I ran across her when I was... [The fur over Sett's brow furrows as he realizes he doesn't KNOW. He rubs at his muzzle and then shakes the thought out. Not important.] All I remember is her eyes. They were glowin' and then I think I saw her memories?
She an' her bro drown, and she woke up somewhere like some fucked up research place or lab. Dunno, there was a lot of blood. But she came out wrong. And hungry.
And then... then I was too. At first it was so bad I couldn't think. I didn't even know my own name, man.
She took us huntin' with her.

[He runs cold, colder than he normally does, and he cups the back of her head as he holds her in his arms for a long moment, soaking in her presence.]
You've no right to be mad, you should've seen him.
[He parts her bangs to press his lips to her forehead, half in affection and half to take her temperature.]
What do you need?

[ It's a relief to have his cold, but even she can tell this is more than usual. ]
I did. See him, that is. Seems like you did, too...
[ She grimaces a bit, pulling back a moment to look at him and scanning his body, then she sighs and draws back her cloak to reveal her bandaged arm and shoulder. ]
...you've your healing. Heal me.

[He doesn't let her see his injured tail, but the blanket is already draped oddly around the both of them, and he's pretty sure she's going to be able to tell immediately what he'd done once she notices, but the virtue of her patching him up several weeks ago.]
I do have some of it. But it's - like I said, a while back. Tempered. I can heal you completely, but there you will acquire some lesser injury.
[Starting to bully her back towards her bed, to sit her down.]

[His face is doing that weird thing where he's trying not to pout but his self-control is Absolutely Gutted so he wants to pout but he needs to somehow come out on top of the incoming argument so he just ends up grimacing.
He shucks off the blanket, folding it neatly.]
Did he do that to you.

Did he do that to you.
[ It's instinctive- the way her free hand rises and - she instantly casts a cure with her regen on him. At least to start easing his pain to begin with, before frowning and-
She nods. ]
I probably wasn't the only one, if he got you too. You let him, then?
[ Pointed look. You know, just in case she can get one up over him to scold him... which she can't because she, in fact, allowed Sett to eat her. ]

... [ for a moment vastella looks thoughtful. research lab. ] If the deer woman that you encountered is the same deer woman I encountered in the strange place I took a group of Acedia from, then she is incredibly powerful. I had my little moths leave, so I could try to keep her at bay. Even without her powers she is strong. You wouldn't think so with her decrepit physique.
[ but it's interesting that he managed to see into her mind... her memories... ]
It sounds like she possessed you to an extent. [ but why. she's capable of hunting. ] Who did you kill, how many, ...and did your hunger not recede after the murders? Or was Dan Feng just eager to be mutilated? [ FUCKEN EYES HIM. ]

Val on Gluttony. .. Someone on Greed. I gotta make good with them both.
And... no. No it didn't.
[Then in a sotto voice to Danny.] bro how often do you end up here?
And... no. No it didn't.

[ dan feng should be fine riding that warm high for a moment, because vastella is approaching sett. ] Who else then?

[He flinches back for a moment, the pressure of that intimidation strong even for him. He rallies but only because of a lifetime of experience that weakness will only make it last longer.]
Sloth got hurt! If you-
I'll do whatever y'need. You can take it out on me if you want.

Have you no restraint? [ vastella walks him back into the nearest tree and then slams onto of her paws against its trunk above his head... except that her paw just goes through it and the tree snaps, tumbling backwards. tiiiiiimber. ] I need you to exercise restraint. You were no longer under her spell and though your hunger still persisted you [ shoves their snouts into his face and huffs gold breath ( which is eerily cold ) at him. ] f̴e̴a̶s̶t̶e̶d̵ ̴o̴n̸ ̴y̸o̴u̴r̶ ̷f̵r̴i̵e̴n̸d̸s̶
[There's no where backwards to go. His twisted paw braces himself on the shattered stump left by Vastella's temper, and his muzzle his forced into his ruff.
Every word hits like a club. It's not like they aren't ones that had been swishing around in the back of his mind since. But out loud they're more visceral. More real. ]
i did. [It doesn't matter what the explanation was. That's the truth of it.]

[He shakes his head.]
Save it for them. If it gets worse again, I'd rather be easier to take down.
[Though the bite on the hand is obvious. He's missing a part of it, though the bleeding has stopped. The burns are cooled and skin closed. He's guarding his ribs and several new lacerations and bites look. Dan Feng like.]

FINE! The hand and ribs are the worst of it!
