It was that time of the month, and once again, you were being too stubborn for your own good. He told you multiple times to take it easy, especially when you weren't feeling at your best; but Wanderers don't wait and they certainly won't slow down to make sure you won't overexert yourself.

He doesn't even let you come up with an excuse to ease his nerves — he sighs as he gets closer to you and, before you can even register his movements, he picks you up as if you were nothing, carrying you bridal style in his arms.

"No complaints allowed, sweetie. I can see how exhausted you are right now; I'm taking you to lie down."
