Sorry to be pedantic, but "fester" has a pretty vivid mental picture associated with it, at least for me. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but you used it twice and it was a little distracting. It was clear from the context what you meant, though... Perhaps something like "fuss" or "futz" with a little "pester" thrown in? :o)
