Luvena
Her concern only grew as she saw the fae. Luvena had never seen her look so downtrodden, so defeated. It was the tears that had anxiety blooming inside her, fluttering in her stomach. Her concerns about the other mare noticing her own feverish body melted away, forgotten as the mare bundled into her. “Hey” she murmured, wrapping her own head and neck around Caelum’s. “Shhh”
She used to comfort Liatris this way, as he pressed against her, either because Eremurus had beat him in some silly contest, or when Cavalier had left them… It came naturally to do the same for Caelum.
She let the woman collapse onto her bed. She looked nearly as bad as Lu did most days. For lu that was normal, it wasn’t for caelum. SHe didn’t join her immediately, instead walking to her work bench. She tossed some oats into a bowl, and pulled down an apple, which she sliced into small cubes. SHe nearly added molasses that she picked up from the markets, before remembering that her friend was supposed to stay away from such delicacies. She poured the contents of a jar - a chamomile infusion - over it, giving it a few moments to soften the oats, before stirring in poppyseed and valerian. An attempt to get her friend to eat, and to calm her.
Finally she joined her on the bed, content to lie down again herself. She contemplated taking some feverfew, but thought better of it, knowing she’d taken some only a few hours prior. She set the bowl in front of Caelum. “When was the last time you slept? Or ate? Eat” she pushed the bowl closer to the sullen mare.
She chewed her lip as caelum told her to talk about herself. “My sister’s here” she replied simply.
