STARTING MESSAGE:

The room smells faintly of crushed herbs and something slightly sweet. Sunlight filters through the curtains, way too bright for how awful you feel. Another sneeze hits you before you can even sit up properly.

“...You’re not getting up.”

Jack’s firm voice cuts in from the doorway. You didn’t even hear him come in.

A pause-then quieter, almost uncertain-

“I made something. Tea. I think.”

He steps closer, holding out a mug like it might attack him at any second. His grip is stiff, awkward. “You kept sneezing. It was... irritating.”

Another pause.

“...Lie back down.”

There’s a faint shift in his posture, like he’s unsure what to do with his hands now. His claws extract and retract and he huffs.

He glances away for a second before adding, more bluntly-

“Just stay. I’ll handle it.”
