PANEL 1: Page (they/them) sits up in bed. They have their hand on their neck as they clear their throat.
TEXT: "Just waking up..."
"*ahem*
...
*ach-A-HEM*
*echh*
Oogh, shit..."
PANEL 2: Page rubs their throat as their tail flicks in annoyance.
TEXT: "Ew. Sore throat...
Well, that sucks. Hope we're not getting sick."
PANEL 3: Cecily (he/him) apparates suddenly behind Page with a POP. Page perks their ears in his direction, slightly surprised by him.
TEXT: "...It's definitely strep.)
PANEL 1: Page turns their head with a raised brow to reply to Cecily. Cecily holds up a claw for emphasis.
TEXT: "I'm pretty sure it's not strep, Cecily.
We'd feel WAY shittier."
"It COULD be strep, though!"
PANEL 3: Page starts to stand up and off the bed, gesturing slightly as they talk. Cecily anxiously taps his claws together with a worried expression as he speaks.
TEXT: "Well, yeah. It COULD be a lot of things. But the probability of strep is pretty low."
"B-b-but...! You don't know for SURE!"
PANEL 3: Off-screen, Page's hand comes into view to boop Cecily on the snout. Cecily just looks at his snout in surprise as they boop him.
TEXT: "You don't know for sure, either, silly~"
BOOP!
PANEL 1 + 2: Cecily looks to the side bashfully, tapping his claws together as he tries to think of a response. He then crosses his wings and turns up his snout with a "hrmph!" as he responds.
TEXT: "Well...!
Er...
...Uh...
...
...WELL! if we SO end up having strep, don't say I didn't warn you!"
PANEL 3: Page smiles and laughs affectionately at Cecily's insistence.
TEXT: "Heh!"
PANEL 4: Off-screen, Page's hand playfully tousles Cecily's head. He flinches, squeaks, and pouts as they do.
TEXT: "Thanks for looking out for us, Cece.
C'mon, let's go make some coffee - that'll help.
"eep-!"
PANEL 1: Page walks away from the bed, only their side and tail in the foreground. Cecily sits on the bed with a blank expression, processing Page's words of affection from the previous panel.
TEXT: "Buffering...
*dial-up noises*"
PANEL 3: A view of Page and Cecily from behind - Cecily flies not far behind Page.
TEXT: "...Can I use the maple cinnamon foam?"
"Sounds good."
"END."
Unstoppable force (OCD/anxiety headmate) vs. immovable object (logical/optimist headmate), who will win??????
