Heroes can take sick days too

(As requested by Selenaloveheart  I hope you enjoy it friend!)

It was Saturday afternoon, and Talia could not stop coughing and sniffling!

"I'm sorry girls, but I feel like no matter what I do-" She groaned in her bed underneath the cozy covers with a box of tissues and bowl of Earth warm chicken noodle soup on her nightstand nearby. "We can't just let the twins get away with harming someone who needs us!" Aurianna insisted shamelessly.

Iris yearned to know that her friend would feel better soon, but she had to agree with Aurianna. "I guess you're right," She glanced at her glowing pendant with a slight sigh. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Talia croaked with her sore throat. "Just have some of Aunt Ellen's soup and Aurianna and I will be back at your side to tell you stories, gossip, tell jokes, have some laughs and all of that before you know." The Ephiedian princess smiled brightly at the Xerian princess. "You can do thi-" The ill brunette attempted to say, but her friends had left her alone with a cluster of small pink and orange sparkles in the air.

Amaru took a small breath in and sneezed out some of them, and made a sort of laughing sound; causing Talia to laugh weirdly (because she's sick, you know?) also. "Take it easy, Amaru. You don't wanna get sick like me." She joked with a long sniffle. The little creature sniffled and shook his head quickly. "I'm gonna take a spoonful of that Earth soup. It's supposed to be good for my 'cold'." The princess muttered to herself as she hexed the bowl to float and land gently in her bedding-covered lap with the spoon sitting in the warm liquid.

Talia took a casual whiff before having a spoon, which immediately decreased her congestion. Not by very much, but still. "Mm, this is good." She groaned in satisfaction.

A group of emerald green sparkles swirled around as Mephisto took a seat on the floor and greeted with a subtle "Hiya Princess, whoa." "What do you mean?" Talia hissed before sneezing daintily into a tissue and throwing it in the nearby trash can. "Wow, you're sick. Sorry to hear that." Mephisto frowned and stood up. He patted her head gently and sat. down again. "Why aren't you with Praxina?" The Xerisian princess croaked. "I summoned a crystal creature to help." The dark sorcerer grinned like the smartest person in the universe. "Nice." She sniffled. "It's not that bad." Mephisto countered. "You don't have to stay here." Talia mumbled. "I want to." He replied simply; trying to pet Amaru.

The little creature scrambled beside Talia's bed and made growling sounds, which didn't do anything but make the two laugh. "So he can turn into a flying horse?" Mephisto asked. "No comment." Talia chuckled gracefully and coughed into her elbow from under the covers. "I should go now?" He shrugged. "Okay." The Princess of Xeris nodded and cleared her throat.

"Goodbye. Get better soon, I miss fighting with you." The dark sorcerer frowned at her state and summoned a vase of naturally blue flowers with a card in the middle. "You're weird." Talia half-smiled and closed her eyes. "I know. Get some rest for me Princess." Mephisto patted her head again before disappearing.

"Did anything happen while we were gone?" Iris and Aurianna asked curiously. "It was okay." Talia groaned and closed her eyes. "Get some rest." The two winked at her and left. "So heroes can have sick days too, huh?" She overheard Iris commenting from the distance.

"Yep." The Xerisian princess whispered to herself before falling asleep again.
