My muse is sick and won’t admit it

✨To catch them when they pass out

                  Though the weather was cold & frigid but she felt warm & could feel a twinge of pain in her chest. She could tell she had another fever again, but she didn’t say anything to her traveling friend & companion. They have been lucky that the weather been quite tame, and only had slight snowfall, but the air in the atmosphere was still harsh on her lungs. 

                        Even with the medicine she brought back with her, it wasn’t enough to keep her illness at bay. Once in a while she had a small coughing fit, & would just wave it off & blame it on the weather, when the Sun Goddess would address her concern. She hid her napkin in her hakama, so that the blood wouldn’t be seen.

                  Before she could say anything else to convince Amaterasu that there wasn’t anything to be worried about, she closed her eyes & fell backwards into the goddesses arms.
