~The Witcher: Geralt X Listener SFW: Fever~ {Patreon Exclusive}

Getting sick in the forest certainly isn't ideal, but everything is going to be alright, Geralt will take care of you.

Contains: Sick! Listener, Comfort, Care

With the Elder tree used as medicine, I thought it would be perfect for Geralt to take care of the listener when being sick. He definitely is one of those people who dotes very diligently on people he cares about when they're sick, watching over them and making sure they're ok, so I wanted to explore that here! I hope you all enjoy!

Geralt: Hey.....Wake up......

*sighs*

Your fever is starting to crest.......

*pause*

You need water........

*pause*

I know everything hurts........

*pause*

Here......can you lift your head?

Let me do it then......just focus on swallowing the water.......

*long pause*

Good.......well done.......

*pause*

It's not much, but I was able to cobble together some medicine from the plants in the immediate area and my own inventory......

*pause*

This should at least break your fever.........

It's more of a paste than anything.......you place it on your tongue and let it dissolve for a moment.....then wash the rest of it down with water........

*pause*

It's not going to taste very good.....no.......

Alright, I'll be quick about it........

*shuffling*

You don't need to apologize......it's not your fault that you're ill......

*pause*

You're not slowing us down.........

*pause*

There will be another job........

*pause*

As long as there are monsters......there will be a need for Witchers.....you haven't done anything wrong.....

Now.....open your mouth.....I'll place this on your tongue.....

*pause*

I know, it's not pleasant, but you're going to have to endure it for a moment........

*pause*

Keep....talking to you?

*hums*

If your fever has broken by tomorrow morning, we'll head to town and get you a real bed.......so that you can finish healing there......

For now, you should get as much rest as you can.......

*pause*

I'll watch over you.......

*pause*

No.....it's been quite some time since I've contracted an illness.......the mutagens we're given......it makes it so our bodies cannot be a breeding ground for illness.......

*pause*

I do remember.....once......long ago......when I was a child......I had contracted a cough and a fever that was quite strong......

Many thought it was the consumption......my mother however......stayed by my side........and nursed me back to health......

She would sing me a song......

*long pause*

No.....it wasn't consumption.......but I don't remember what it ended up being.....I don't even know if I was ever told.......

*pause*

Does the paste feel like it's dissolved somewhat?

Alright, I'll help you wash it down.....

Lift your head again?

*pause*

There.......

*pause*

I know.......your body is going through a lot, and the medicine's properties will more than likely cause drowsiness.......

*pause*

You can sleep, there's no need to worry......I'll be.....right here......

*pause*

You're shivering.......

*pause*

*sighs*

I can......share.....my body heat........

*hushes*

It's impossible for you to get me ill........remember?

*pause*

Move the front of your body closer to the fire.......not too close......

*shuffling*

I'll be behind you..........

*shuffling*

Is this.....alright?

*grunts*

You're not going to die.........

*sighs softly*

I swear........

*hushes softly*

You're experiencing a lot of emotions due to your condition, you're going to be fine—

*hums unhappily*

I.......alright.....I'll.....hold....you.......

*shuffling*

Like.....this?

*pause*

*hushes*

Stop worrying and go to sleep........

Everything will be better in the morning........
