[At Helios' uneasy agreement, Robert nods and steps forward, making sure the polyurethane gloves he has with him are on and in place before gently resting his hand on Helios' cheek and temple.
His mouth goes a bit dry at the act - it's a rather intimate touch, to say the least, and it's been awhile since anything like this has happened. But Robert turns his thoughts away from there with little difficulty and instead focuses on the magic that he's been taught to use.
His expression shifts to one of intense focus as he concentrates, drawing on some kind of inner energy - his mind only half-understands it, and there's a strange, euphoric blend of synaesthetic sensations as he manipulates the force. It's also physically tiring, but he'll continue it for however long it takes to break the fever, trying to picture the exact structures of Helios' inflamed body that should be targeted by the magic.
... It likely seems a tedious process for poor Helios, to whom magic is second nature.]
