Roland was nothing if not prideful, especially in his moments of weakness. He's all but bound to his bed - sneezing, coughing, physically weak, the whole works.

Just a bad flu. But he makes it his mission to resist your care. Not wanting you to see him as weak. Even if he did enjoy the attention of you worrying and coddling him until he gets better. Not that he'd admit it, as he evades everything but the medicine you bring at every turn - even if he truly wanted your care deep down.
