🧹 (Maid!) Penumbras x (Sick!) Umbra 🌤️

"We need to get you to bed immediately! You're sick as a horse. I don't want this cold to get any worse than it already is." Penumbras ordered.

"Noo, I'm working. I need to *sniffle* finish this paperwork. I'll go to bed later. Just allow me to *sniffle* wrap this up."

"No Mistress! Work is no excuse. You need to take a break and rest yourself. That fever is only going to get worse."

"No, I order you to let me work. *sniffle* I just need to focus..."

"Mistress, my priority is to make sure you are healthy. Since you are disobeying me, I am allowed to ignore your orders until you get better. Now lets get you to bed." Penumbras said.

The Mistress was silent. She was lost in her head just like before. Penumbras wasn't sure if Umbra was dizzy or something, but she had no time to think about that. She wrapped her arm around Umbra and began helping her to bed.

Penumbras struggled to guide Umbra to her bed. The Queen was not only loose like a rag doll, but she was nearly double the height of Penumbras! It was hard for Penumbras to get her across the room but she tried her absolute hardest for her Mistress.

When they were nearing the fluffy bed, Umbra began getting lucid again. She must have snapped out of her dazedness because she lessened the burden on Penumbras. Her legs stiffened and she began walking with her.

"Why are you being so caring to me, Penumbras...?" She groaned.

"Mistress, what kind of question is that? I am your Maid! I will serve you and make sure you are safe until I die or you dismiss me. Until then, I will nurture you." Penumbras gave her a warm smile.

Penumbras finally got Umbra to her bed. She carefully made the Mistress sit in her bed. She slowly let her go. Once Penumbras had both hands free, she fluffed up Umbras pillows. When she had her bed ready, she carefully laid the Queen down.

"Alright Madam, when was the last time you ate? We need to get nutrients in your body." Penumbras beckoned.

"I think I had breakf- A- ACHOO!" Umbra sneezed.

"Very well. I'll order the Solar Servant to make you some soup. She won't mind at all. Now, would you prefer tomato or chicken soup?" Penumbras asked.

"I— don't want to eat. I'm not hungry..." The Mistress groaned.

"But soup is good for you! It's easy on your stomach, and it will give you fluid. You'll get better quicker if you drink it." Penumbras said.

"No! I— refuse." Umbra grumbled.

"Say, if you behave and drink all the soup, I'll let you have some ice cream. How about that?" Penumbras offered.

Umbra looked sickly intrigued at the proposal. Ice cream was an enticing trade offer. Before Umbra went out into the rain, she remembered one of the Servants had gotten double dutch. She decided to accept.

"Fine. But I wanna eat downstairs. I don't like eating in bed." Umbra complained.

"No Mistress. You're too weak to walk. You need to rest in bed. I'll bring the soup to you." Penumbras commanded.

"But I'm not even tired! I just need to... I just need to stand!" Umbra started moving out of bed.

"Mistress! Don't stand up, you're too weak. Don't you dare get out of bed. I'm warning you, I'll have Swamp Monsteress hold you down with her tentacles." Penumbras threatened.
