blaiz had never experienced anything quite like it, his chest was so tight it was as if the air couldn’t reach his lungs. and the bouts of intense coughing that overtook him every few minutes only made it that much more difficult. and to make matters worse, the small room he found himself trapped in with a stranger was sealed with no source of fresh air. it’d only been a few days since his arrival to the territory and in that time he found himself ill and imprisoned. granted, he understood the necessity for it, to keep sickness from spreading any further, but it didn’t mean he welcomed the situation.
the prince began to cough once again and struggled to bring himself to his feet for a moment. he didn’t know how long this illness was meant to last, if it would get worse or eventually kill him, but he did know he couldn’t simply lay around waiting for it to happen. blaiz poured himself a cup of water and then a second one for the woman he found himself trapped with.
