Prompt:
Callum remained hunkered down with the herbalists for a day longer. He had been stuck here for a week already and his nose felt so stuffed. It was miserable to be perpetually sick. For working in such a precariously clean castle, it was insane just how frequently he got sick.
His head felt cloudy with illness, all his thoughts jumbling into one massive ball. The herbalists had started leaving an extra stash of herbs just for whenever he got sick. Although, the strangest thing was that nobody quite knew why or how he got sick so often. Aiyana had started requesting him for help sorting the herbs or where he last saw them with how often he was stuck in the cabin. They had started almost customizing his separate bed.
Despite the humor, Callum found it miserable just how often he had to miss his job. They had started joking that he was more of a 'part-time' worker rather than one that dedicated his whole time towards his job. It got especially bad during the peak summer times and he could never understand why. All of a sudden his nose would get runny and his eyes would get watery. It was almost like a secret curse he had during summertime every year.
Fall began to drift over the Kingdom and he could already feel his nose clearing. Everything had begun to ease up around him and his body no longer felt like it was revolting against him for simply living. Sure, it wasn't like some magic power that flooded through him and cleared everything up, but the sickness plaguing him seemed to finally ebb away for this year. He felt like he could finally breathe again, and it was a relief to finally be able to get back to the castle after being away for ages.
He was fine for now, the relief washing over him, soothing his aches.
He was free for now, until next year, at least.
