He really ought to be making his return more of a priority, unfortunately for all of them, though... Hiei is of course putting his pride first. Not that he really has mich of anything left with this whole returning to human world purely to see Kurama again, despite all of his posturing, but since when has that stopped him either? Hiei has not given up entirely on pretending that he really does not care about the fox in the end, just the same as he has not fully decided whether he forgives him for this entire mess, yet.

So he watches Kurama leave with a little 'hn' as he does so, carefully not asking the fox to stay even though that is very much what he wants in some dark pit inside of him. Despite everything, Kurama's presence even nearby calms him, at least enough that sleep and true rest are a bit easier to come by.

The fire apparition is not late for dinner, thankfully, accepting his specially made meal with a little nod of thanks to Yukina. His want to prove to her that he is alright and recovering wins out over his better sense, unfortunately, and finds him eating more than his stomach really wants to digest. It is easy enough to excuse himself without suspicion, at least, his illness making it easy to say that he was going to rest some more now that his stomach was full. It is easier to breathe through the nausea while he isn't also trying to maintain some kind of normality with Yukina and the children, which is exactly why Kurama's sudden appearance has Hiei masking a grimace.

"I ate." It isn't a lie at least, as he forces himself to sit up. Thankfully he doesn't outwardly look all that much worse for wear than he has since this all began.

"Yet to be seen if it gives me any more energy, though."
