[ Her body language speaks of how much she wishes she weren't - of how tired she is of having so many burdens to carry. She doesn't loathe her title, really. It's more that she's simply resigned herself to her fate. That for all the lives she's taken and all the lives she's failed to save she must do her best to make up for it however she can.
...And get out of her with your logic, Felih. She doesn't want any of it. Don't make her tell Edmont. Don't tell him.
Her eyes well up with frustrated tears she doesn't allow to fall. ]
He doesn't need to know that it's the Red Throat that has struck me down. Just that I am ill and don't wish for company.
[ Era watches Felih follow her suggestion and can't help but grimace at his suggestion. She's not overly fond of either fermented drinks or ginger, so it's not the most appealing solution. ]
Warrior of Light you may be, but the Warrior of Light is no god. You are human, my lady. Please, do not let the world run you so ragged as to forget that.
[Still, his ears fall low to see her in such low spirits as well, and he only hopes he can find a way to cheer her. But mayhaps it is not him who will be able to do that- some comforts can only be drawn by true family, the closest of friends, or even lovers. Edmont or Aymeric would have better luck, he reasons.]
Alright... I will do my best to be discreet about it. Still, I feel uneasy being untruthful to the man. He is a good soul.
And please, do try to eat. You know I'll fuss if you don't. [He's joking a bit now, cracking a smile.]
[ Era agrees that she is no god, though disagrees with the rest. From the moment she first woke in this world she has been the Mothercrystal's blade. And it's difficult to forget something Era hasn't properly learned in the first place - though she's gotten better at treating herself as human for the better part of the last year, even if she's relapsed some thanks to the illness. ]
It is not being untruthful. I am truly ill, and don't wish for his company. We cannot risk his health, Felih. His age puts him at greater risk... [ whereas she, Felih, and even Aymeric would be far more likely to brush off the Red Throat with no lasting effects. ]
You'll fuss even if I do. [ she offers the smallest of smiles in return. ] I'll try again in another bell.
[ It'll give her time for what she did eat to digest enough that if she does vomit afterwards it'd just be blood and not sustenance! See how smart she is? Super smart! ]
That is true... and I would not see him ill, as well. Then I shall be cautious and ensure he keeps his distance until you too, are recovered.
...and don't tease. You know I can't help it- your health is important to me, my lady. But so long as you promise to try and eat some more later... then I'll be content.
Is there aught else I can provide...? I suppose you must need rest more than anything else, during your recovery...
I should recover soon enough, provided there is no sudden and desperate need of me to slay a Primal. [ It's supposed to be a joke, but. Well. It's also a legitimate concern. ]
Just continue as you are and all will be fine. [ She pauses, then adds: ] Though pray wake me at regular intervals to eat.
[Felih sighs, still ever the worrywart, but gently smiles and nods. He only hopes she will recover soon- and he will dutifully attend to her until then.]
Yes, of course, my lady. I'll ensure all is well... do rest for now. You will need a lot of it in the coming days. I'll ensure no one else comes to disturb your rest until you've recovered.

We shall try more frequent, smaller meals first.
