"Achoo!"

Luna took thermometer from under Ravus' arm and looked at numbers.

"38.7 degrees, "Luna said. "You caught a cold."

This morning Ravus didn't come down for breakfast. He was an early riser, so Stella and Luna were surprised, when they entered the dining room, and didn't see Ravus at dining table already eating his breakfast, and making plans for the day. They decided to check on him and found Ravus still laying in bed, looking feverish and sneezing every five minutes. Sisters suspected he had caught and after checking his temperature and seeing the degrees, they saw that they're right.

"I'm feeling well, really. No need to worry," Ravus protested.

"'Feeling well?'" Stella repeated her brother's words, shocked. "Ravus, you have cold and high fever and you say you're 'feeling well?'"

"Fine, I'm feeling slightly unwell," King of Tenebrae amended. "I still need to finish some documents," Ravus tried to get out of bed but was stopped by his sisters.

"Oh no, mister, you not going anywhere, "Luna said, together with Stella, pushing Ravus back in bed, and then, adjusting the blanket and pillow. "You're sick, so you're going to rest."

"And no buts," Stella added, seeing Ravus was about to protest. "I'll finish these documents and everything else, so don't worry and rest."

This wasn't the first time Stella offered to finish something for him, when he was too busy or too tired to do it, so he knew she would do everything right, and he didn't need to worry about it.

Ravus leaned against the pillows and smiled gratefully at Luna and Stella, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, "Luna said, smiling as well.

"Don't mention it," Stella said, smiling too.

Ravus took care of them many times, if they fell sick. Now, it was their turn to do the same.
