So, Iโm a bit of an angst gremlin, and I kinda wish that if you passed out in the mines, your spouse would say something about it, like โI heard Linus found you! What happened?! Are you ok?!โ That sorta deal. How would the bachelors (and bachelorettes if your not too busy) react to hearing that the farmer got hurt in the mine and was found by someone else?
Angst gremlin meets angst goblin. I cried while writing this donโt hate me. (also I wrote it as things Iโd imagine them saying in-game)
โOh y/n Iโm so glad youโre okay! I heard they found you unconscious but I guess youโre too strong to be hurt so badly!โ
Alex hides his nervousness with humor, trying to make light of the situation as if you didnโt just risk dying.
He even tries to get you to train with him, so you can get stronger and be better prepared for your future expeditions.
Heโs just worried for you. And he knows he canโt stop you, so the best he can do is make sure you can protect yourself.
โAre you okay?? I heard about what happened and I got so worried! Shouldnโt you be resting right now?โ
He takes care of all the things on the farm. If you even try to get up from the bed he promised heโd bash your head with his guitar.
He eventually calls some friends for help, because he knows youโre stubborn and will be up on your feet the next day, and he wants to make sure you work as little as possible.
โI know Iโm the last person who should sayย โdonโt engage in dangerous behaviorโ but... That was pretty reckless of you. Donโt you think itโs better to run away than risk dying?โ
Oh boy heโs mad. Like really, really furious.
He knows you know what youโre doing, and that scares him because youโre capable, so if you came that close to dying... He doesnโt want to finish that thought.
He goes away to brood for the entire afternoon. In the evening heโll just hug you and not say a word.
โI know the mines were perilous, but to be hurt this badly... Youโd be a fool to go underprepared in them again.โ
He brings you home and treats your wounds, trying to understand where they come from and how you got them. He wants to make sure he knows how to take care of you.
This had happened before. It will happen again and hopefully it wonโt be worse than this.
He doesnโt know what heโs feeling. A bad mixture of sadness, anger and fear.
He knows he could have lost you. He still doesnโt like it.
When you come home he lets you snuggle with him, and he hugs you a bit tighter than usual, still not saying a word.
Heโs had enough of people leaving his life. He doesnโt want you to be the next one.
โ... please donโt give me a scare like that ever again. I donโt want to have to patch you up another time...โ
He doesnโt cry in front of you. He canโt do that to you.
He knows he canโt stop you from going in the mines, you need the materials you get there. It still doesnโt make it easier.
When he sees you again, he makes you promise to stop by the clinic before you go in the mines, so he can give you supplies to not die in there.
โYou know the mines are dangerous, why would you be so careless? Think about all the people you leave behind next time you go in and maybe you wonโt have so much of a death wish!โ
Sheโs so mad she lashes out without thinking and runs away to the mountains, to play some tunes to calm down.
Sheโs usually the one that patches you up when you come back from mining, so she knows the kind of trouble you get into. She did not expect you to get so reckless this time.
When she gets home she makes you promise to get out of whatever big fight youโd get into, itโs not worth your life.
โOh, dear. They really did a number on you this time. Iโll take care of things for a while okay? Iโll go start the water for your bath.โ
Sheโs not so worried, not because sheโs oblivious, more like she has faith youโll always come home.
She also knows you have to get into the mines unless you want to buy Clintโs overprices ores (and though she can get discounts simply by bringing Emily with her when she goes shopping, itโs still annoying).
The best she can do is make sure next time you go in you have extra supplies and a good sword and take care of things for you.
โOh, y/n! What happened? Why are you all bloody? Did Dr Harvey see you yet? We have to get you healed!โ
She gets so worked up seeing you hurt itโs moving.ย
Really, she thinks youโre an idiot for rushing in without proper equipment, but she canโt really do anything about it now.
The next day you see her at your doorstep with a small refrigerator,ย โfull of supplies for your next adventure. I donโt want to see you getting hurt like that ever again, got it?โ
โYou are an idiot. Now come here, you have to change your bandages.โ
Sheโs so used to this that she has a basket full of medical supplies: bandages made from clothing scraps, disinfectant, band-aids, some medicine Harvey gave her...
Itโs sad that she has to do this, but at the very least sheโs glad sheโs there to help and youโre not on your own.
Sheโll always hate to see you go in the mines, and she canโt sit still until she sees you again.
โ... You have no idea what itโs like, being on the other side of the operating table, do you?โ
Maru learned about it when she saw you coming in just as she was about to finish her shift at the clinic.
She aided Harvey as he treated you, and she was immensely glad for the doctorโs help. It was... an experience to watch you unconscious. Plugged into IVs. Almost lifeless.
When she gets home she already has a couple of ideas for new armor she can make you. If she canโt stop you, she will make sure youโre well-protected.
โI know I canโt stop you... but at least next time tell me when youโre going so I can help you prepare better... and myself.โ
She really wishes youโd tell her when you leave for the mines. She knows you donโt because sheโll worry, but at least she can expect to see you coming home hurt and battered.
You know sheโll never admit it, but she is a stress-baker, and in an attempt toย โaid your recoveryโ sheโd make you mini poppyseed muffins to eat as you watch movies cuddled on the bed.
Of course, itโs also a way for her to reassure herself, holding you close to her. Feeling your heartbeat to make sure youโre still alive.
