‘ah-ah-ah. you’re sick. you need to stay in bed.’
“Dragons don’t get sick,” Devani states as if that negates the fact that she’s shivering and sniffling. That is, they don’t get sick under usual circumstances. Internal fire keeps the body hot enough to fight off many things. Just not extreme stress and exhaustion from working sixty hours a week just to pay for meds, food and glass. Last she checked, her fever spiked 106, only a few degrees warmer than her usual 102. And it’s near impossible to cool down something that breathes fire and generates enough heat to have a constant human fever. She wolfs down another handful of advil, as if over the counter does anything for her metabolism. “Besides I-I have to work, you know they cut back my benefits and my savings is all going towards rent.”
