B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: Four Words 2 - ocean, thousand, ceramic, fever (G57)
Format: drabble
Genre: gen
Rating: G
Warnings: illness
Characters: Ioreth, Faramir
Pairings: n/a
Summary: "But Faramir burned with a fever that would not abate."

The Lord Faramir lay still and silent on his bed, as if dead already. But spurning the coldness of death, his body burned with a fever that not even an ocean could cool. Ioreth lifted a ceramic cup of spring water to his lips—the coldest water they could get without having ice, and there had been no ice since the roads were blocked.

If only Gondor had a king, with hands that would bring healing. But there was no king; and so Ioreth raised the cup to Faramir's lips: once, twice, a thousand times—and still, the fever burned.

Oh, you managed to put Ioreth into a really nice view here, instead of being somewhat annoying. Well done!

I really like Ioreth's dedication here! She may be a chatterbox in canon, but I also believe she's competent and cares about her patients.

oh, Ioreth, for once not overly chatty but caring for Faramir almost as a mother, the mother he's been deprived of for so long. Bless Ioreth for that.
