Sick Branch

Riff and Sid Fret

They turned around and began heading back to the village.

They'd been going back to Rock territory when they'd run into Synth.

And now they had a sick Branch.

They didn't mind!

Not at all!

If anything, this is a minor inconvenience, but it's fine.

Sid Fret adjusted Branch in his arms as they walked, both of them speaking softly as Branch slept.

After a few minutes, Branch whined and squirmed.

Riff looked at his face, "Shit, man! He looks real sick!"

Sid Fret bounced him gently, trying to settle the sick troll.

"Yeah, I can feel it. He's very warm..." he said nervously.

Riff sighed, "Let's just keep going, the sooner we can get him back the better."

Sid Fret nodded and they continued.

After two hours and multiple stops, they made it to the village.

They carried him to the royal pod where they would know how to take care of him.

Riff calmly knocked and the door opened.

Creek stood there, looking concerned and upset, but as soon as he saw Branch, he relaxed.

But he quickly tensed up and reached for his baby brother.

Sid Fret let Creek take Branch, "Poor little guy's crazy sick, dude. Keep an eye on him." He said softly.

Riff nodded, "Make sure to keep him calm.."

Then they both walked away, deciding not to take the scenic route this time.
