"On it, Beloved!" he called out over his shoulder as he did just that, retrieving all three from the bathroom before returning to her with a glass of water, the brush tucked into his back pocket--and the whole bottle of aspirin.
"Couldn't remember how many you gave me--and I can't take medication like a regular person, so figured I'd let you dose it out." he explained with a rueful grin, settling behind her on the edge of the bed. Contemplating the piece of gum, he thought for a moment...then gave up on conventional methods, and any hope of being remotely impressive for the moment and combed his fingers gently through her hair, speaking the spell he used for translocation.
Holding out one hand, palm extended, he waited for the tiny flurry of coal bright ash to emerge from her hair as he carded his fingers through it, the wad of gum reappearing neatly in his hand. Grinning, he leaned forward, pressing himself against her back to show her the gum.
"Here, this'll cheer you up." he declared--then promptly ignited a dragon fire flame in his hand to obliterate the offending was before he straightened again, then took up the brush to start working it through her hair with sure, steady strokes to make sure he hadn't missed any pieces.
