"Herbert, please- I know it seems bad now, but I'm sure you'll be yourself again in a matter of weeks..."

*He held up a set of pajamas that very clearly did not belong to Herbert. They were flannel, for one, and while he'd had the sense to get something other than plaid, these were nearly as bad. They were paisley, and though they were absolutely hideous, they looked like the most comfortable articles of clothing ever.*

*He looked a tiny bit offended.*
"Please, dear, just put it on. They're perfectly warm and comfortable- much more practical than those frilly nightshirts..."

*He helped Herbert into the pajamas, then up onto the bed. With the help of many pillows, he propped him up to a sitting position.*
"Now to take care of that hair..."

"I'll take as little as I can," *he assured him, and began to cut very carefully.*
