*Kid quietly cracks open the bathroom door and slides in a bottle of 'Dispel Pain', then swings it open to slide in a plastic bucket of ice. How he even got the bucket up the stairs is unknown... And it may never be known since he runs downstairs shortly after delivering the goods. He had a lot of running around the couch to do in his adorable little costume.*
A faint ‘thank you’ followed the child out the door, Cyprus downing three pills, before pouring the bucket of ice across three towels he’d laid on the floor. Then, he drapes two more towels across the cold surface, just enough to keep them contained, and the towels themselves cool, before flopping across it, relieved for the pleasant coldness they provided, while at the same time, glad for the towels, which would prevent him from getting damp and soggy.
