"You're still sick." Lola grumped.
"Blurgh." Came the reply from under the pile of bed clothes. A round of coughing soon followed.
"Have you seen a vet?"
"Doctor." muttered the coughing lump.
"Whatever. Did he feel your guts and stick a cold thermometer in you?" Miss Lola nosed under the covers to reveal the sick viking.
"No." Cough, hack, groan. The covers got pulled back across the sicky to get rid of the sudden draft.
"Did he check your head to see if it's still attached? You're holding on to it awfully tight. Are you worried it will fall off?" She stuck her head under the blankets and sniffed his neck and face.
"It's attached, unfortunately." Grumble. Whiskers tickled. "Hurts when I cough. Everything hurts when I cough."
"Humph." She gave a sympathetic lick. "You should see a vet and get one of those puffy thingies so you can breath."
"Nurgh."
"I was going to bring you soup.. but none of the chickens would sit in a bowl of water for me."
There was a significant silence from the would-be patient.
"I mean, I'm not going to COOK a friend, and Aunty Jodi would get mad anyway.. But chicken soup is chicken soup, right?"
"Nu-urg."
"Hmph." She settled on the bed, grooming her nose. "Anyway. Then I was going to bring you some kale and carrot chips, but I didn't know if that was good for sick humans.. and I'm not sharing the yummy hay my humom just got me, so I figured I'd just show up and be a heat source. You can pet me if you like."
Petting a rabbit was rarely optional even when phrased as such.
A round of coughs made their way through before a hand fished itself out of the mess to pet the bunny. She grumbled about how he was doing it all wrong and wriggled under the covers, to sit against his chest. "Have you been taking the disgusting liquids? Do you need me to wrap you in a towel and get a syringe?"
"No." Rabbits had a strange idea of medicinal procedures. Didn't any of them watch any the hundreds of medical dramas that were on TV?
"Hmph. Viking doctors are obviously useless. If you're not better by Monday, I'm taking you to see my Vet. She has warm hands."
"Nuhmph."
Miss Lola sighed, she supposed she could just take a nap and let the coughing viking cough. He probably wasn't going to let her use his tablet after what happened last time, anyway. Mean viking.
