Cho huffs a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but I can't, and I hope you'll forgive me when you're feeling better." Then she moves quickly, sticks the thermometer in his ear and pushes the button to take his temperature, so it can get a read before he can lash out at her. The instant she hears the beep that tells her she has a reading, she retreats, just far enough away that he won't be able to hit her while she takes her attention off of him to look at the result.

Oh... not good.

She's back at the tub, holding onto the edge and peering at the skittish man in the water. "Lalli. Please listen to me. Your fever is very high. That's dangerous. It can do permanent damage to your hearing and your eyesight if we don't bring it down." She doesn't mention brain damage. She doesn't want to scare him too badly, she just wants to make him a little more receptive to the care that he needs, so that she can help. "I'm going to put more water in this bathtub. It'll be cool, but not cold. You're wearing too much clothing. I need you to take off the heavy layers that are holding in your body heat. Do you understand me?"
