Carlisle offers Glacius an embarrassed grin -- he doesn't know the extent of his behavior while under the effects of enchanted tea far stronger than he can handle, but with the way Glacius speaks of it, it was surely unbecoming of him. He smiles more sincerely at the sight of his book, picking it up after he's had a few sips of tea. The heat that runs through him fights away the pain and numbness as well as the trembling.
Unfortunately, it does nothing to ease his concerns for Glacius. Carlisle wonders briefly why he doesn't just wash himself off in the shower, as he has done in times past. He knows the answer, of course -- Glacius will not leave him while he recuperates. The clergyman would be more grateful for that if it didn't put the alien's own health at risk.
He cannot help with the cleaning, nor can he mend Glacius' wounds, so he instead fills the silence so Glacius doesn't have to wear his throat any further. He should do the same, but he'd prefer to fill the void. "I should probably seek out some new books at some point, but this one is from home, and by Pendlebrook Brimstone, a favorite of mine. I believe I have mentioned him to you."
