It was a chilly morning at Skyhold, Josephine, Cullen, Leliana and Morrigan were preparing to attend a meeting in the war room with Herah Adaar.
Herah, along with Iron Bull, Sera and Dorian had just returned from The Fallow Mire the night before.
Herah had just woken up to the discovery of cramps, she quickly got herself dressed and made her way to the war room to discuss the plans to find Samson, stop the spread of red lyrium and to find resources in Thr Fallow Mire.
After the meeting, Herah makes her way to the Skyhold Tavern where Bull likes to hang about, she notices that he wasn't at his normal spot. She goes upstairs to notice that he isn't in his bedroom either.
Noticing her monthly cramps worsening and picking up on nausea that sometimes accompanies it, she decides to head towards her quarters.
As soon as she has reached her bed, she grabs some looser clothes to put on and climbs in, On her bedside table she notices the pain relief potion she forgot to take. She downs the bottle and starts to drift off, her eyes growing heavy as the potion starts to take effect.
She wakes up to Iron Bull by her side snoring softly with his arm wrapped around her abdomen.
Feeling a slight headache coming on she continues to just lie there and watch Bull sleep.
As he sleeps she notices that he looks slightly paler than normal, as he stirs and mumbles she notices that his voice is a little hoarse. She knew when they were walking around The Hissing Wastes that the sand getting caught the wrong way was a load of croc, She also realized that dragging him around the Fallow Mire wouldn't have helped things either.
Bull wakes up to Herah's hand on his forehead. He states that he's fine and that he was just checking in on his Kadan as Cullen mentioned to him in passing that the inquisitor was in her chambers and appeared to look unwell.
Herah gets a servant to bring tea for them both before getting her kadan to sit up. He does so and with his permission, she looks into his throat to notice it all red, inflamed and covered in yellow spots. A sure sign of a bacterial infection.
Bull collapses back onto the pillows as Herah quietly explains that it's her monthly bleed and that she'll be fine but scolds Bull for ignoring his health, She turns towards the door to notice Solas about to knock and come in to check on her.
Feeling better after her nap, she coaxes Solas in to examine Bull, only for him to be force-fed a vile tasting potion that he'll need to keep drinking three times a day until the vials run out. (There were 21 in total).
Solas takes his leave and notifies the Council that both Bull and Herah are indisposed for the next three days.
They spend the evening drinking tea and snuggling in bed, A servant drops off their dinner (pumpkin and sweet potato soup) and they end up watching the views from the inquisitor's balcony as they drift off to sleep in each other's arms.
Herah wakes up the next morning to Bull rubbing her stomach, she feels her cramps tearing through her stomach. She grabs another pain relief potion from her side table and takes it before heading to her changing rack to freshen up.
As soon as she is done, she cleans her hands in the nearby basin and empties it over the balcony.
She then crawls back into bed and curls up on Bull's chest. As he is clearly too tired to move, they dose until the servants come in with breakfast and freshwater. The servants also come to pick up the laundry.
