Stripes stayed by Rosepetal's side, concern etched on his face. He gently licked her fur, trying to rouse her.
"Rosepetal, wake up," Stripes whispered, his voice trembling.
Rosepetal stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She smiled weakly.
"Stripes...I'm sorry," Rosepetal whispered.
Stripes nuzzled her. "No apologies needed. You did it, Rosepetal. You got the herb."
With tender care, Stripes helped Rosepetal sit up, cradling her in his paws.
As they rested together, Stripes shared stories of his adventures, his voice soothing Rosepetal's fatigue.
Rosepetal listened, her eyes shining with gratitude.
"Thank you, Stripes," Rosepetal said. "You're more than a friend."
Stripes' heart swelled. "You're more than a queen, Rosepetal. You're family."
