He thought he?d made it through the storms quite unscathed, unlike his nephew whose goose egg had become quite amusing after they realized he would live. The alpha would soon come down with the same sickness that held Novel and Dutiron the first in its grasp. Since he was younger and much better suited to fighting the disease he would refrain from using any of the herbs that could make him feel better. They needed to go to his parent-in-laws. They had come down with the cough before he had, and though it was rough the herbs were obviously keeping it at bay for them. He however, would have to suffer through.
Of course to keep his small family safe he?d retreated from their regular den, not wanting to pass this on to their young children. Being incapacitated was so difficult for him. He was the alpha, and a father. He should have been out protecting and providing for his young family, not stuck here in the small and dreary den. Still, through his ordeal his creamy pelted wife would stand strong next to him. Her voice would come to him now, and with little hesitation he would lift his head so bicolored eyes would seek her out.
His eyes were bloodshot, a sign of the lack of sleep that plagued him. Though how much was from missing her and how much was from the cough he was uncertain. He would barely make out her features awaiting at the very entrance of his hole in the earth. Though he looked wretched he would still try to be strong for her, ?Hello, my love." his words were rather weak, "I?ve been better, but all in all i think i?m alright." He?d add a convincing smile to the end of his words as they caused an irritation in his throat. They would send him into a coughing fit.
