Garrot's venomous tone sets Zafika on the edge again, despite the tone not technically being directed at them, but their tail still curls defensively around their body as they lean away from him a little. His words and his tone are clashing too much, but at least he lets go of their arm, which they withdraw immediately and hold against their torso.

And then he declares that he's now their doctor, they can't fucking believe their ears. "What!? No, hey, hold, hold up a bit, I don't need a doctor, seriously, I-" Except their protests apparently fall to deaf ears, because they hear a 'pssssh' of some high-tech device opening, and then he's speaking again, saying they'll get a home-cooked meal from him, and their mind is just reeling, the entire situation has changed so much. They had expected being threatened, and now instead someone's being so fussy over them and their wellbeing, they don't know how to feel about this.

"Okay, wait, hold up, I already have medicine for them, seriously I'll be fine, you can keep that. And, uh, I appreciate the gesture with this but, I'm fine without this too." They pick up the coat carefully and hand it back over to Garrot, because, honestly, even if they'd accept it, they'd absolutely drown in the thing. "And I'm already eating when I can. I know how to take care of myself."
