“We find this ridiculous, sister!”
“Luna, a lot of things progressed while you were...indisposed.”
“We should not be sick!”
“As I was saying, Luna, many things progressed. That includes viruses and diseases. Over time, they evolved to combat our immune systems and medicines. If my memory serves, three entirely new diseases also emerged in the time you were gone. This is your body adjusting and trying to deal with these new dangers.”
“Three new diseases, and we have all of them. At the same time.”
“I know you wanted to get back to raising the moon soon, sister, but with you in this state, the doctors have recommended extended bed rest while your body learns to fight off the new diseases.”
“...Fine. We shall confine our self to our chambers until this passes.”
“Thank you, Luna. And no using your magic, either.”
“...Very well. We shall consign our self to using things like a serf.”
“Hmm. And that’s another thing. You should at least catch up on your reading-a lot of things have changed since the times you remember. I will instruct the library to provide you with a number of books to read while you rest.”
“At least we shall not be bored. How much time did the doctors claim I would be bedridden?”
“Anywhere from a week to a month. Don’t worry, Luna. We have the best care available for you, and you will likely not get this sick again. Once your body has dealt with the new viruses once, it will know how to prevent you getting them again.”
“We still find this ridiculous.”
“I’m sure you’ll be up and about in no time. Perhaps you’ll even be able to make the Nightmare Night celebrations.”
“We meant the fuzzy hat. We find it ridiculous, and entirely unnessecary.”
“It’s a vital part of the healing process, Luna. Medicine has come a long way. Just rest, for now, and I’ll see about getting you those books.”
