With Trollex: 

Trollex was awoken to the sound of Coral whimpering, the young Techno Troll sounding scared and frightened. 

Trollex sighed and sat up, rubbing his eyes before looking over at the bed. 

He had given the bed to Coral, choosing to sleep on the sofa instead. 

Trollex stood up on his fins before pushing off, floating over to the bed to see if the young Techno Troll was alright. 

He looked over at the clock on the bedside table and saw that it was just past midnight. Everything in the Vibe City UFO was powered electronically, so it was no surprise that they would have technology that no other Troll tribe has. 

The former king turned his attention back to Coral, worried when he noticed the young Techno Troll tossing and turning, whimpering slightly. 

Trollex sat down on the bed beside Coral and gently shook the young Techno Troll’s shoulder. 

“Coral, hey Coral, are you alright?” asked Trollex, feeling a sense of dread pass over him. 

Was Coral sick? Had he caught a fever or the flu sometime during their journey? 

As several thoughts passed through Trollex’s head on what could have gone wrong, Coral was blinking his eyes open, looking around in confusion before turning his attention to the former king. 

Coral could see that Trollex was worried and zoned out, thinking about all of the worst possibilities as to why he was tossing and turning so late at night. 

The young Techno Troll whimpered as he wrapped his arms around the former king’s waist, burying his face into Trollex’s side. 

This snapped Trollex out of his thoughts, feeling the young Techno Troll’s arms wrapped tightly around his waist in an attempt to comfort himself. 

“Coral? Are you alright?” asked Trollex, resting a gentle hand on the young Techno Troll’s head. 

Coral shook his head and tightened his hug. 

Trollex bit his bottom lip nervously as he looked around the room. 

Should he go wake up Poppy and Branch? Or should he go get Quincy and Essence? 

He didn’t want to wake either of them up in the middle of the night. 

He sighed and looked back down at Coral. 

He wanted to see if the young Techno Troll was getting sick first, and if he was, he would definitely go to one of the two rulers. 

Branch was an expert when it came to camping and surviving on the most basic of necessities, plus he had medical training. 

But at the same time, Quincy and Essence were more experienced with this kind of thing, the two having raised Prince D. 

Trollex gently grabbed Coral and had him sit up, checking the temperature on his forehead to make sure it wasn’t freezing cold or scorching hot. 

The former king sighed in relief when he felt Coral’s forehead temperature normal. 

“Coral, you’re not feeling sick, are you?” asked Trollex gently, placing his hands on the young Techno Troll’s shoulders. 

Coral nodded, pouting as his eyes began brimming with tears. 

Trollex felt panic rise within him, but pushed it back down. 

“Sick as in….you’re feeling ill? Like your stomach hurts or you have a headache?” asked Trollex. 

He wanted to be sure it wasn’t that kind of sick before ruling it out completely.
