Her Hunch

Vyrelen shrugged as he stood up to his feet and handed the bowl to Dika. "I did that so you wouldn’t have to stress yourself and still got no thanks for it," he muttered.

Dika took the bowl and started eating without looking at him. "I didn’t ask you to. My legs work just fine."

Vyrelen opened his mouth to argue, but before he could, a sharp cough interrupted the conversation.

All eyes turned to Nyxoria as she coughed and tried to sit up.

Tharros was worried as he tried to balance Nyxoria on the bed and rubbed her back in gentle circles to stop the cough.

"Why is she coughing, Priestess?" His voice was tense.

Daisy sighed and wiped an imaginary sweat from her brow. "So you’ve never coughed before in your entire life, Emperor?"

Tharros glared but stayed silent, watching as Nyxoria took deep breaths. Slowly, her coughing subsided, and she blinked as if adjusting to her surroundings.

Nyxoria cleared her throat and looked at Daisy.
