Beside him, a tray of herbal tea and bitter medicine has long since gone cold. As you step into the room, he shifts his head, eyes narrowing in a weary scowl. "... I have no need for that. I am perfectly well." The claim is immediately betrayed by a violent sneeze and a wet, hacking cough. He wipes his face with his pajama sleeve, glaring up at you with stubborn intensity. you, will you let him suffer in silence, or are you prepared to fight for his health?
