The very moment that Nora wakes up, she feels like absolute mirelurk dung.
The sharp stabbing in her ears and the scratchiness of her throat wasn't helping the malaise within her bones.
She hears Curie soothing MacCready as she stitches up his leg wound and the quiet snores of Dogmeat as he snoozes by her feet.
Nora gets up and finds some teabags amongst some hidden rations.
She boils some water, and makes herself a cup of tea in the hopes that it soothes her now sore throat.
Nora takes the cup to the bedroom and quietly crawls back under the covers. Sitting up against the pillows, she slowly sips the tea, when she is done, she places the mug on a nearby bedside table and dozes off.
What feels like hours later, Nora wakes up to a coughing fit.
Curie, who's just returned from helping MacCready. Quickly grabs some water and gives it to Nora.
Nora now sitting up, drinks it gratefully.
She allows Curie to examine her thoroughly, explaining her symptoms and following verbal directions.
Curie notices a slight swelling around the left tonsil, but no tell-tale signs of strep. She notes that there are no signs of fever and finds no sign of infection in the ears.
She tells Nora to take it easy and keep her fluids up and makes her another cup of tea.
Nora decides to rest her eyes, taking slow breaths as she strokes Dogmeat's ears as he continues to snore.
She drinks her tea slowly and allows herself to crawl back under the covers.
She dozes off as her head hits the pillow and Curie absent-mindedly draws circles on her back as she sleeps.
Carefully Curie crawls into bed and goes to sleep cuddled up to Nora.
