≈: medicine and ℧: a damp towel against flushed, feverish skin for Freyja?
"You will not die on me Freyja." Ayla spoke with a soothing tone but here eyes made the message clear that it was a threatening order, to bad for Ayla that it was not recognized by Freyja in her state of delirium.
Freyja was used to the cold weather of the north where the summer got warm enough to thaw the ground at best, for her to be taken to such a warm place plus the stress of the kidnapping caused her to run a terrible fever, Freyja was somewhat coherent with the fever but having been given a concoction of medicine that would have knocked a horse out she lost her ability to reason, It was obvious that the elven princess had no idea what kind of illnesses humans contracted so she just gave Freyja everything she could find in the hopes it would work, Ayla had sent off a maid for a wet cloth to help keep her pet's fever down as she had read in some of the human literature that they did that, the maid returned with said cloth before running out on more errands.
"My dear Freyja this should help." Ayla placed it over Freyja's forehead, she felt a sense of responsibility to take care of her pet; to prove herself to those who would doubt her.
"Am I going to die?" Freyja spoke in her delirious state, her question unnerved Ayla somewhat, unknown to Ayla Freyja was reliving a memory due to her delirium; a time where she was deathly ill during her childhood.
"No, don't even kid about that, You will survive." Ayla placed her hand to Freyja's cheek and was surprised for the standoffish pet of hers to nuzzle into it.
"Thank you, I love yo-" Freyja trailed off into sleep before she could finish saying I love you mom, Ayla certainly felt some progress in making her pet love her which was misplaced but the boost to her ego was nice.
"I love you too my dear pet."
