Back at Loona's apartment...
The five I.M.P demons, along with Stolas, Via, and Tex, were all back at Loona's apartment awaiting news on Balin and his sudden case of hellhound fever. And being the master of this craft, M&M made Blitzø peek through the slightly opened door of Balin's bedroom to check up on them.
Balin was now back in his bed with Loona, all toasty and warm. Even though he was burning up more than ever with his sickness.
Loona sat beside him as she spoon-fed him some of the ice cream soup that she made for him yesterday.
In Hell, his sore throat wasn't exactly like any other sore throats that a human could get on Earth, but ice-cream was still an effective way to soothe it.
Loona then grabbed her own spoon and slurped some of the soup like a normal dog with a bowl of water. Savouring the taste, a small smile as sweet as the meal was formed on her face as she continued feeding him.
Soon, the boy finished his soup and Loona put his spoon in the bowl with hers, as she looked at them touch feeling more guilty than she already was. She was about to leave the bedroom, when Balin tugged on her shorts a little.
"Loona...?" he spoke in his congested voice. "Can I have one of Aunty Millie and Uncle Moxxie's cookies, please?"
"Sure thing kiddo." whispered Loona in a soft sigh.
She bent down, gave the sick little boy a kiss on the cheek, and rubbed his torso, before wiping away whatever tears were in her eyes to look cool for the guys, and leaving the room to get him the little snack he requested.
"So... how is he?" asked Moxxie.
"At least... he's resting now." she sighed flatly to him. "I just gave him the first of his medicine. Where did you put your cookies?"
"Just in the refrigerator." replied Millie.
Loona went into the kitchen and started rummaging the fridge for the cookies, her tail wagging back and forth like a fan... for Moxxie.
"Okay, th-this actually feels kinda nice." he whispered to himself, as he sighed in real life.
Hearing that sigh, Loona seethed as she bumped Moxxie on the head with her tail, warning him to stay away from it.
"Got it." she said, before she saw everyone looking at her with worry.
"Wh-What?" she asked in a teeny stutter.
"Loona. I've never seen you... you're usually so aloof and calm & collected." asked Blitzø. "Are you doing okay?"
"I'm fine!" she replied flatly. "It's just my first time, you know? I just hope he'll be okay."
"It will be okay, Lunes." reminded Tex.
"But will HE be okay, Tex?!" she turned around asking him in anxiety. "Sorry, maybe I AM so worried about him! Happy now, Blitzø?"
"Come on, Loona." Millie tried to calm her down, by stroking her hands. "I'm sure Balin will be fine. I should know, I'm a gal who believes in doctor's orders."
"And if he says the kid'll be fine, then he'll be fine." added Moxxie.
"It's like a common cold for hellhounds, and some other demons get it." continued Blitzø. "Perhaps, it won't do as much damage... to the kid... right?"
Everyone then looked at him with shut-the-fuck-up looks on their faces, as Loona inaudibly seethed with her teeth.
"That is the most idiotic thing you have ever blurted out, Blitzø!" whispered Loona softly. "You are lucky Balin's sleeping, or I would bark you DEAF!"
