A stomachache for a tactician.

[invisiblebonds]

*Robin never had the healthiest lifestyle, so it didn't came as a surprise that he got lay low by a sudden stomachache waking up one day. Everyone insisted that he stayed on bedrest, looking for some medicine for him, and making sure to keep him away from his tactical manuals.

He's not a happy camper- this stomachache is preventing him to do the things he needs to do. He's gonna be a bit grouchy as a result.*

*Sumia is worried, but she can relate to being forced to rest and unable to do things she needs to; not long ago she'd tripped badly enough to sprain her ankle and everyone wasted their time fussing over her.

So rather than trying to play nurse, she decides to try to keep Robin company.*

[invisiblebonds]

*He groans in pain. He's not sure how he ended up with this stomachache, but it's an absolute hassle. He tried reading a random novel, but the ache was too distracting for him to focus on the words.

He's a bit glad Sumia's there to keep him company, however.*

[flowersandfortunes]

I'm sure Libra or Lissa or someone will find the right medicine soon.

*She tries to be reassuring*

But...it's no fun to feel so lousy, I know.

[invisiblebonds]

*He groans again.* It feels like someone put their hands into my innards and is squeezing them to death...

[flowersandfortunes]

Sometimes overwork can lead to an illness, and you haven't slept very well lately...plus, Tharja's cooking can be a little dangerous when she's been experimenting.

[invisiblebonds]

...If it was Tharja's cooking, I'd think everyone would be feeling miserable, not just me.

[flowersandfortunes]

...good point!

*Sumia didn't feel great after eating it, but rinsing her mouth certainly helped*

[dualworldprincess]

*Corrin can relate, albeit in a different way. Once a month her stomach would hurt like crazy and she'd be so uncomfortable she'd practically beg Camilla to stay with her and fuss over her*

[invisiblebonds]

*Ah, corporeality. They didn't have those pain as Emblems- a sacrifice to be made to enjoy life as their original selves did. Still, he did enjoy Corrin's presence while he rested in his bed.*

I heard Byleth is making soup for me.

[dualworldprincess]

*That was one nice thing about being an Emblem, no cramps.*

He is, yes. Using one of the old recipes he got from a student at the Academy in life.

[invisiblebonds]

That... sounds like it would help. *He sighs, sinking into his bed.* And Chrom is... where, again?

[dualworldprincess]

He's sparring with Lucina. I think both of them should be in to see you soon, though!

[invisiblebonds]

That sounds like them. I hope they don't destroy the training grounds again.

Emblem!Camilla here

[bewitchingflower]

*Oh, dear, she's seen this before. Corrin and Elise during a certain time of the month, or Xander when he forgets to eat and has hunger pains*

You poor thing.

[invisiblebonds]

*Well, here's something that's going to be sort of new for him. He's used to Camilla fussing over him while they were Emblems, but as corporeal beings? This is going to get interesting.*

I had plans to make a three-way battle study with Soren and Claude, and... *he sighs, hand on his stomach* I guess this is going to delay those studies.

[bewitchingflower]

*It's what she does, she's a big sister*

Claude will understand, and Soren...I'm sure he won't be too hard on you, even he understands people get sick.

[invisiblebonds]

That- that is very true. *He sighs.* But did Chrom had to removed my books?!

[bewitchingflower]

Because you need your rest and studying is a form of stress even on your own. Besides, would you even be able to concentrate with how bad you feel?

[invisiblebonds]

*Oh, that he wanted to argue that, but... he knows she's right. He sighs again.*

True, I would feel miserable even if I focused on my books. I just...

[savingthefuture]

You've been working too hard. Father always worries about you doing that.

*She has a glass of water and some ginger syrup on a tray*

[invisiblebonds]

I have to catch up what I've missed when I was... gone. As the Royal Tactician, there's so much to do...

this Luci's mom is Maribelle and she's implied to be with Inigo here XD

[savingthefuture]

You know it's okay to take breaks sometimes, right? Your health's important too.

*Lucina may have been told that herself by a certain dancing mercenary who, underneath his flippant behavior, could be very serious when he was worried about people*

[invisiblebonds]

...

(His quietness speaks louder than any word he could say.)

I was hoping, that... things would go back to normal.

[savingthefuture]

It's like Father says, anything can change. Sometimes we have to adjust to it.

[invisiblebonds]

...

(He'll take the ginger syrup and down it like a shot of alcohol)
