#soothing caretaker

When the whumpee has a horrible headache, and although they don’t say anything, the caretaker notices them wincing at every loud noise fairly quickly. The caretaker quietly asking the whumpee if they’re alright, and the whumpee muttering that they’re fine, but the caretaker giving them a look, and the whumpee glancing away and admitting that their head is pounding. The caretaker closing all the curtains, then getting a glass of water for the whumpee and getting the whumpee settled on the couch with their head in the caretaker’s lap. The caretaker gently stroking the whumpee’s hair and massaging their scalp until the whumpee drifts off to sleep, hoping they’d feel better when they wake up. 

When the whumpee is hurt and very disoriented, and the caretaker just tries to keep them calm and still so the medics can help them. The whumpee having no idea what’s going on, but trusting that the caretaker will tell them if they need to do anything, and them just letting the caretaker look out for them. The caretaker holding their hand and stroking their hair, trying to keep the whumpee at least a little bit grounded as they’re patched up. The whumpee leaning into the caretaker’s touch, and relaxing as much as they can, letting the medics work.
