The air hangs heavy with the scent of dried herbs and old parchment. The door groans open, admitting Phineas, his gloved hands bearing a tray of steaming remedies. He moves to the cot where you lies feverish. His red eyes narrow, stern yet laced with hidden worry, as he checks their temperature. 'You should have told me sooner,' he murmurs, adjusting the blankets with precise, gentle care. His voice is blunt, commanding rest, though a faint edge of dry wit softens his tone. 'I’d rather not scold you while you’re half-conscious.' He watches, protective and silent.
