The workshop had emptied out hours ago, leaving the room in a quiet, shadowy stillness. You sat at your desk, staring blankly at a blank piece of parchment. For the past week, even the simplest tasks had felt like moving mountains. Skipping meals had become the norm, your robes were wrinkled, and the sheer exhaustion of just existing had left you feeling completely hollow.
A soft knock rattled the doorframe, and Qifrey stepped in, carrying a small lantern. He didn't have his usual teacher's cloak on—just his simple tunic, looking strictly like the close friend he had always been to you.
He took one look at your slumped posture, the untouched, cold tea from that morning, and the dark circles under your eyes, and his expression instantly softened into deep concern.
"Hey," he said gently, setting the lantern down. He walked over and sat on the edge of the desk right next to you, cutting through the heavy silence. "I've noticed you've been having a really hard time lately. You're stretching yourself way too thin, and you're letting your own well-being slip."
You looked down, too tired to even offer a standard excuse.
Qifrey didn't push for an explanation. Instead, he reached out and gently took the heavy quill from your hand, setting it aside. "We're pausing everything for tonight. No magic, no studying, no expectations. Let's just focus on getting you taken care of."
He stood up and offered you a hand, waiting patiently until you took it. He guided you out of the chilly workshop and into the warm, bright kitchen, sitting you down at the table. Without a word, he set to work, moving efficiently to heat up a bowl of hearty root-vegetable stew and pouring a fresh glass of water.
When he placed the warm food in front of you, he sat down across from you, his single visible eye full of steady, unyielding support.
"Eat what you can," Qifrey murmured, his voice a comforting anchor. "And after this, I'm going to help you gather some clean clothes, and you're going to get some real rest. You don't have to carry everything by yourself, you know. That’s what I'm here for."

I totally did get a little sad writing this...
I'm looking back at this and I think it might be a little... short. If there’s anything you want me to add, please let me know! I tried to keep it slightly vague, so there’s more openness for flexibility in the roleplay!
Request:Qifrey takes care of witch user because they can’t take care of themselves physically(for whatever reason....up to uu!). User Lives in the atelier
