Xanther groaned as Peyton spoke and rubbed his back gently, trying to comfort him again and slightly shook his head. "N-No, I'll be fine. I-I can still play for you..." he whispered, trying to relieve his head, but at that time, the door opened and there stood his mother at the door.
"Xanther, honey, are you alright?" she asked, walking over and sitting down on his bed, gently lifting his head up as she pushed up his chin. She started to quickly check his eyes and forehead, making sure he had no fever or anything. "Ma, stop it," Xanther mumbled. "Sh, no," she quickly replied. "I'm your mother and I get to make sure you aren't sick or haven't caught any physical problems!"
"Mum, please," Xanther said, then noticed that his British accent slipped out. His mother stared at him but then continued to check him, and he blushed deeply, biting his lip as he glanced at Peyton, looking away in embarrassment. "Peyton, do you know what's wrong? Did you check him or anything?" Mrs. C asked Peyton. "Mom, please..." Xanther groaned. "It's just...a headache..." Mrs. C frowned. "Well then, that means no music. I'll tell the boys to put their instruments away and-"
"No mom!" Xanther suddenly shouted in a serious tone of voice and winced as his head jerked up. "Don't talk to me in that tone of voice!" Mrs. C said, putting her hands on her hips and furrowing her eyebrows.
