Ranboo woke up one day to a pain in a place that he had never felt pain before.
His throat.
But not in the way that comes with the common cold, an all-too common thing for Ranboo.
Rather, a specific spot closer to the front-left of his neck. It hurt so much more, he found, when he swallowed.
Hmm that's, concerning.
Was there something stuck there? He couldn't exactly get it out if there was.
He was genuinely nonplussed. He had never imagined he would have such an odd affliction.
Ranboo supposed he could probably deal with it, maybe it would even go away with a bit of time. If anything was stuck there, then it could probably get just as easily unstuck or dislodged if he ate or something.
He went about his day, visiting Tubbo and Michael, then gathering some pink dye for Niki, and eventually going out to gather some wood to burn in his fireplace, since it had a better smell than burning coals.
But the spot in his throat just seemed to be getting worse, and he had gathered more than a few concerned glances from the people he was around that day.
The worst thing was that he didn't have any idea how to help. If something was stuck in his throat, then healing and regen potions would do more harm than good. And trying to stick his hand into his throat was not an option. His gag reflexes were extremely sensitive, and again, it'd probably hurt him more than help him.
So all he could do was hope it would go away soon.
