“Luluuu . . .” Mountain’s congested voice carries weakly down the hallway. The bed creaks as he no doubt flops over to the other side of the mattress where she once was, his whine of disappointment sounding soon after. The air ghoulette shakes her head, pushing the door open.
“What’s wrong, sunflower?” she coos, placing the steaming mug of honey green tea onto the nightstand.
Mountain’s face scrunches up into a frown, eyes squeezing shut. His cheeks bare imprints of his pillow, and when he lifts his head up she can see his upper lip is shiny with mucus, and the corner of his mouth coated in drool. His ear flicks at the disheveled hair falling over it.
“You lef’ me,” he mumbles. “Woke up and you weren’ cuddlin’ me.” Clearly, he’s still highly feverish, if his combination mumbling/whining is anything to go by.
Cumulus just smiles. She thinks it’s cute, Mountain complaining like a human man with a cold. He’d never be so whiny otherwise.
“I went to get you more tea, baby,” she soothes, whipping up a cool breeze to waft over his forehead. He hums and plops his chin down onto the pillows. Cumulus huffs a laugh and sits down beside him. “You were snoring up a storm, didn’t think you’d wake up before I got back.”
“Hmpf.” Mountain tosses the blanket over his head and turns around dramatically, pretending to shut her off.
“I bring you tea, and this is the thanks I get?” she says, mock offended.
There’s a pause. The earth ghoul peeks his head around his shoulder, side-eyeing her and the mug. “ . . . wha’ kind?”
Cumulus smiles softly. Leans in a little like she’s telling a secret. “Green tea with honey. A lemon slice. Don’t tell anyone, but I also put a dash of honeysuckle syrup in it, because I know my baby loves it.”
Mountain trills, ears perking up. “Gimme,” he demands, shuffling to sit up against the approximately five different pillows he’d stashed for optimal sleeping. He holds his hands out and scrunches them in the air. Cumulus hands the mug to him carefully to make sure he doesn’t drop it.
“Aethe warmed the water for me, so if it’s too hot, I’m innocent,” she chirps.
Mountain’s mouth turns down and his eyebrows turn up in the middle. “Aww,” he says appreciatively. He smiles down at the steaming liquid. “Aef . . .”
“You know he always has to help.”
Mountain hums in agreement. He takes an experimental sip, groaning when the hot tea slides easily down his throat. He takes a big gulp and closes his eyes after, sighing heavily and smiling at the ceiling. “Yummy,” he compliments. “‘S nice. Warm.”
“I’m glad, baby,” she lilts, running her nails through his hair. It earns her a happy rumble, Mountain’s tail pitching up the blankets where it’s buried under the many layers. They share a pleasant, quiet moment: Mountain sipping on his tea and Cumulus scritching in all his favorite places.
The peace of it is nearly broken, however, when Mountain’s eyes start to droop, and he nearly tips the mug over into his lap when his grip starts to go as lax as his jaw.
“Oh!—hun, you’re gonna—” the air ghoulette saves the mug just before it slips from his fingers, hardly spilling a drop.
Mountain snorts and jolts his head upright. “Huh?”
“Didn’t want you to spill,” she says, setting the mug back onto the nightstand. “Sleepy boy.”
He blinks slowly, eyes lingering shut for just long enough that Cumulus is momentarily convinced he’s fallen right back asleep sitting up. “You made me seepy,” he accuses. Leaving out the ‘l’ like a kit unable to pronounce it any other way.
Cumulus cuddles up, tucking him back into the blankets and pulling him to her chest. “Maybe seepy pup needs his rest then,” she says softly, scritching around his horns this time. He grumbles, but goes down easily. “There you go, baby,” she smiles. The grumble turns into a purr soon enough anyway, so it’s safe to say it was all token protest.
Mountain mumbles something, twisting his body so he faces her instead. He looks up at her expectantly, despite the fact he aimed all of his words directly into her belly.
“Yeees?”
There’s that pout again, fever-addled brain continuing to render him as hopelessly cute. “Kissy, Lus,” he says, as if she heard him perfectly clear the first time. He wriggles his face closer to hers.
“You’re sick. Nooo kissy on the lips.” She boops him on the nose with her finger. “You may have an air kiss, and I’ll make it feel just like the real thing.”
Mountain grumbles again, squinting at her.
“Sicky equals no kissy. I promise you as many kisses as you want when you’re better, okay, baby?”
The earth ghoul flops onto his back with a sigh. The end of it catches in his throat, though, and he’s sent into a coughing fit, squashing any further complaints.

ECHOES OF WISDOM ATE IVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS:
*banging pots and pans*
IT WAS A SETUP
GANON WAS NEVER AFTER ZELDA
HE WANTED LINK.
ITS DOWNFALL TIMELINE MOSY LIKELY AFTER LINKS AWAKENING. SO GANON KNOWS 3 THINGS:
HE WILL BE MET WITH A HERO AND THE PRINCESS EVERYTIME.
THE HERO CAN BE DEFEATED(OOT)
IF HE KILLS THE HERO, ANOTHER ONE WILL TAKE THEIR PLACE.(ALTTP)
THE THEME OF THE GAME IS WISDOM, GANON IS USIN HIS NOGGIN. HE SET UP THE ZELDA KIDNAPPING TO GET TO LINK.
IF THIS IS AFTER LINKS AWAKENING LINK HAS BEEN ON 4 ADVENTURES, THEY KNOW THE DRILL.
YKNOW HOW IN THE TRAILER THE CORRUPTION STOPPED?
LINK FELL THROUGH, LANDED, GOT THEIR BEARINGS, FOUND GANON AND STARTED FIGHTING HIM, THOUGH WITHOUT ZELDA TO GIVE THEM THE EDGE TO DEFEAT GANON THE TWO ARE LOCKED IN COMBAT, GANON CANT KEEP SPREADING THE CORRUPTION, BUT LINK CANT DEFEAT HIM.
GANON WANTS TO WEAR LINK OUT AND CORRUPT HIM SO NO HERO WILL STAND AGAINST HIM BECAUSE LINK IS BY HIS SIDE.
AND THE CORRUPTION?: EITHER ITS THE CORRUPTED SACRED REALM/THE DARK WORLD, LORULE OR THE LANDS BETWEEN THE REALMS.
ID ACTUALLY LIKE TO PITCH THAT THE BOSSES FOR THE DUNGEONS ARE THE PREVIOUS FINAL BOSSES BUT AT LOWER POWER, GANON LITERALLY SENDING PIECES OF HIS HATE INCARNATE OUT TO DEAL WITH ZELDA SO SHE DOESNT GET TO HIM AND LINK ON TIME.
