#I cannot stress enough that sib's mom is just so extra in a helicopter mom way but is also fairly emotionally distant

😚💤💐 + sibirite and thancred!

Hi LIz! Thank you for asking! I love these two so much!

😚 - When one gets sick, what does the other do? 

If Thancred is sick? Sib will laugh saying she told him so. It’s brief before she starts getting him to bed and making him stay before leaving to get the necessary food and provisions. No one else is allowed in really if they’re going to ask how he’s doing and if he needs anything because it will all be lies and he will try and prove otherwise. Man needs to rest! Ryne is exception because well A) it’s Ryne and B) she’s better at the whole taking care of a person when ill than Sib is.

If it’s Sib that’s sick? There is also a bout of “I told you so.” She forcibly removed from battles and activities to stay in bed, much easier as she be tiny and much worse off when she gets sick. He actually makes some soup for her, does the cool towel if she’s running a fever, gently pushes her back down when she tries to prove herself well and okay as she hacking up a lung and near falling over, and just keeps her company letting the old bard out in telling stories, songs, and reminiscing. Oh! And most importantly post Endwalker he makes sure that only the people that knew right away she was sick are THE ONLY people that know because gods help them if her mother catches wind of it.

The third possibility (and what happens more often than not)? They both are so fuckin sick that everyone else has to take care of them while Y’shtola reminds them that this is what happens when you don’t take their advice of taking it easy seriously. Estinien tries to defend that they are perfectly fine because he’s fought while sicker (no he hasn’t not really). Sib is handcuffed to Thanny so she can’t really go far since she’s too weak to pull him along and he is the reason there has to be a guard in front of the door. Post Endwalker though they just get Sib’s mom to stay within the living area since he does not want to interact with that woman more than he has too so he’ll stay put.

💤  - Who falls asleep first? 

Typically this depends on what had occurred during the day. If one faced more of a battle than the other it would be they who falls asleep first. If just normal average day Sib can be quicker to sleep and a much heavier of a sleeper. There’s this protective trait that never leaves Thancred to where he has to make sure there’s safety before even attempting to sleep, he’s also early to rise and just a light sleeper overall. Either way he’s getting wrapped up in Sib’s limbs as she’s just like that.

💐 - Is one more protective than the other? 

Yes and no. Yes because it will always be Thancred that jumps in first to protect her, especially in physical combat, however she is the first one to step in when it’s not a physical fight. Both are very protective of the other depending on situations (and not that Sib doesn’t get protective in physical fights and Thanny in non fighting instances they do), but if you want to count off whenever they were being more protective then you have to give it to Thancred. You would think it was because of when she was still learning to fight but no. It was the time they were not together and he went out of his way to make sure she was okay only for it to turn into a little bit of a fight but they still ended up protecting the other in a more than just comrades way.
