Timo really isn't the best person to ask about what's normal for father's to do. "Why don't we not worry about what's normal and what isn't and see what works for us?" He offered, gently. Never mind that there were more than enough reasons to try and fit in - Victorian society really wasn't the right one to be trying to stand out from the crowd in, but Timo wasn't thinking about that. He'd always gotten on well with people even if he was a little unusual in many ways, and he didn't even consider that that might not be the same for Ivan.

"Do you feel better now?" He asks, then, reaching over to gently run his fingers through the boy's hair, checking to see if it's dry or not yet. It's probably a bad idea to take him to bed with it still wet, the last thing Ivan needs in a new place is a cold as well.
