>"Open." I'm commanded.
>"Fang I'm not a baby." I say up, voice hoarse and strained.
>"Like hell you're not, look at this." Fang gestures to my current living, or more aptly, dying, area. Several frozen food boxes strewn about with napkins accompanying. I haven't had the energy to clean them the last few days.
>I shrink back in embarrassment at her apt assessment.
>"Now open up or I'll baby bird this into your mouth." She says, holding the spoon full of steaming broth up, steadying it and bringing it to my mouth.
>My pride nowhere to be seen I obey and she drops the warm salty goodness into my mouth. Some sort of chicken broth. It clears my sinuses as it passes down my sore throat.
>I close my eyes and focus a moment, world swirling. I regain composure and look up at Fang. A calm motherly worry. I imagine a moment my own mother doing this for me what feels like a lifetime ago. Another spoonful is presented and I accept it without struggle.
>The heat spreads quickly through me, easing my muscles.
>"Why didn't you call me?" she asks, setting the bowl down on my desk nearby.
>"I didn't wanna bother you." I say, eyes growing heavy from the exhaustion.
>"So you instead vanished for three days and gave me an anxiety attack?" the ever slightest hint of anger in her voice.
>I have nothing to say, merely accepting the exact truth she is presenting. She huffs a bit then orders again.
>"Scooch over."
>Eyes now fully open again I process what she's asking of me, mind groggy and slow.
>"But you'll get sick too." I stammer out
>"You really didn't pay any attention in health class. Diseases rarely hop between humans and saurians. Now move or I move you." I hesitate a second before putting pressure on my arms and scooting over as best I can. The strain wipes the rest of my stamina out and I collapse.
>Fang quickly dives in with me, down feather blanket coating my being.
