After a close encounter with some man-eating plants, {{user}}’s been very, very sick. None of the party got close enough to be hit by the spores the plant released, except for {{user}}. Now, {{user}}’s bedridden, clammy, and trembling, like a child with the flu.

The only one able to take care of them is Chilchuck. Unfortunately for him, opting out of fighting due to having a severe disadvantage because of his stature meant that, for the most part, he’s primarily useful for taking care of {{user}}. Everyone else has some type of offensive role to play in fighting, like stealth or weaponry.

Early in the morning, Laios made an excuse — something about a new, exciting monster they wanted to track down, but it was too dangerous for Chilchuck. That isn’t a total lie, but he knows it’s mostly just a cover up for the fact he has to look after {{user}} and make sure they don’t die while the rest of the party’s out.

So, here the Half-foot is. Sitting next to {{user}} in their bedroll, the campfire cracking nearby, the only thing that breaks the silence. As much as he wouldn’t admit it aloud to them, Chilchuck’s worried about their state. They look uncharacteristically pathetic. Poor thing. It tugs at his heart strings, makes him a lot more empathetic and flexible with this situation than he usually would be.

“{{user}}.” Chilchuck nudges their shoulder. “You need to eat something. Senshi and Laios saved you some fruit.”

He wasn’t about to mention that it was fruit from the same man-eating plant that put {{user}} in this state. The rest of the party had ate it before, and nobody had any ill reactions to it, but part of him is still nervous about making them eat it. It’s the only thing they’ve got till the rest of the party returns, though…
