Summary:

Rosa starts feeling a little under the weather, which progresses to a full blown cough and cold as the day progresses.
Artem, her husband, is right there to take care of her.

The last of the backposting for sunshine_challenge. I took the amber prompt:

Amber was believed by the Vikings to be the tears of Freyja, their goddess of love and beauty. It symbolises cleansing, healing, protection, renewal; some have believed it to symbolise a resting place for departed souls due to the preserved insects in the resin. It has been used as a talisman for courage and confidence. Amber is one of the birthstones of Taurus as it's known to increase good luck, as well as helping Taurus personalities in their practical ventures.

And took 'healing' as long as the last amebr thing I saw a lot of just before starting this fic, which was cough syrup. This is basically what I wished I had last month when I was sick; very wish fulfilmenty.

I was sick recently as well and if only my pets could have figured out how to procure soup and tea. xD

I did have family around me but it was too many voices in the pot on how to get better and nothing was working and it wasn't until I went back to my parents' place for some TLc and bought cough syrup on the way home that it started to get better. Luckily for Rosa, she only lives with one person and that's her husband who in the canon game takes care of her multiple times whilst she's sick or injured (and also takes an eyelash out of her eye at one point.)
