The night was passing slowly without any difficulties for (Name). Usually, their palace never had any presence other than themselves, which may sound extremely depressing, but (Name) never did mind it. In fact, They found peace in it. But this time, they had an unconscious young male lying in their spell pool, and they were unsure when he'd wake up.
(Name) was wide awake and stayed in the same room with the boy. The only thing that kept them up was a cup of squeezed-up cotoneaster berries. Yes, a poisonous plant. But to (Name) it was a normal juice. At a young age, they somehow developed an immunity to poison. This excited them with no end, and they ended up trying all types of poison. Which sorta led to an addiction.
A soft groan from behind caught (Name) attention. They shifted in their seat to take a good view of their patient, and judging by his expression; he was about to wake up. They narrowed their gaze before rolling their eyes and grabbed a cup of regular water. (Name) didn't know if they should be relieved That he was alive or disappointed because they were hoping for the patient to be asleep for a little longer to enjoy their cup of juice.
The boy in front of them was now brutally coughing as he sat himself up. (Name) almost wanted to back away in disgust but decided against it. They crouched down next to the coughing boy and gently patted his back, but that only made him flinch and pull away immediately. What did they expect?
"Apologies. There's no need to worry, I mean no harm. Monkey King sent you here for me to cure you." They paused before giving them a cup of water for him to take. "Drink this, to wash away the taste of the medicine."
MK stared at the unfamiliar person next to him. The taste in his mouth was like nothing he'd ever tasted, and he disliked how it still stained his mouth; the water didn't help either but he couldn't just take it, he's never met this person before and he's met many of demon's that have tried to kill him or take his powers.
(Name) tried to hold back any rude gestures to the boy and simply placed the water down and walked back to their desk to take their cup without looking back. They didn't want to push him any further into doing things he didn't like. So it'll be best to wait it out. (Name) Shuffled through a large box, searching for something, unknowingly that MK was still staring with curious eyes.
"If you're not going to drink the water, that's fine by me. But at least change out of those clothes. You'll catch a cold." (Name) brought out a pair of spare clothes from the box and handed them to MK then walking out of the room with their cup in hand. But suddenly stopped at the doorway.
"Sorry if they're not your style, it's the only ones that looked like they'll fit you. Don't touch anything." And with that, (Name) shuts the door behind them.
