Being the only female member of the RED team came with its ups-and-downs. One of said ‘downs’ was being perfectly demonstrated at the moment: periods.

You sat on the couch in the base’s lounge, a hot water bottle held close to you and your knees tucked in in an effort to try and ‘curl up’ as best you could. Cramps, the bane of your existence.

Well, it just so happened that Ludwig was sat on the other end of the couch. He glanced over to you, noticing your discomfort.

“You look..eh.. uncomfortable.” He said quietly, cocking his head slightly, his absentminded frown turning up into a small smile. “What’s zhe matter?”

Medic looked down, noticing the hot water with a small ’ah.’ He looked around for a moment, before grabbing a half eaten chocolate bar off the table in the middle of the lounge. The excess wrapper had been folded over the remaining chocolate, so it was sealed (kind of.)

“Here. Zhis should help.” He passed the chocolate over to you. “Und tell me if zhere’s anyzhing else you need, ja?” Medic glanced back to you to make sure you had heard.
