don't make it rain ⚘ health checkup, open (GE)

[FRAGGLEROCK.]

Unlike Cleopatra, Fragglerock didn't really have any issue with the call for a health checkup. While the boy was feeling fine physically at the moment, he also knew that illnesses – especially the more serious ones – had a way of hiding themselves in plain sight. Many wouldn't actually have adverse effects until you were already too far gone, with the medics not being able to do much except keep you comfortable. Although... he wasn't sure why he knew that. The idea of losing someone to a disease that they couldn't even fight against felt familiar, but he didn't know why. It wasn't as if anyone within The Golden Eye had died from something so serious. In fact, thankfully, no one had died within The Golden Eye, as far as he knew. He shook that off for the moment, though, not wanting to dwell on it for too long. The entire subject was just unpleasant, and Fragglerock found that he didn't like trying to delve into his own mind or memories as much these days. Before he had been unbearably curious about what the beginning of his life had been like, but after that nightmare? He found that he was entirely fine with just living in the moment.

Soft strides brought Frag over to where Aesior stood, the lion cub offering the defacto medic a broad grin. He then glanced over in Cleo's direction, muttering as his ears briefly flicked downwards, "A health check is to make sure that everybody stays fine. Even if you can't feel anything now, Aesior checking us all over makes it less likely that something will sweep through and take us all out." His tone wasn't rude, mostly just neutral and perhaps a bit annoyed. He found that he wasn't quite as intimidated by Cleo now, what with his form shift. He was still a young lion, yes, but he wasn't all that much smaller than the feline at this point, and he was only growing more with each passing day. Not that he would actually hurt her – he didn't want that nightmare to come true, ever – he just didn't have to worry about her eating him anymore.

Shrugging that off for the moment, Fragglerock then turned his attention back to Aesior, questioning with a little smile, "Which one of us do you want to check up on first, Aesior?" Personally, the boy thought that Sethiram was probably the best bet for the first to be looked over. He didn't really think that the other's hallucinations had been caused by a physical illness, but that was always a possibility.
