I know NFenton is a more stoic leader who governs purely on logic than emotion, and can come off cold and uncaring as a result (but really does want what's best for the kingdom), but that was just mean of him not to have any pity or compassion for Gyro's plight to save his son even tho he insulted him (plus, it was also for the good of the kingdom that Gyro and Fenton required the king's blood for the cure). And you'd think when Mads got sick later, that would better help the king sympathize with what Gyro's going through (I was going to say 'especially when he thought Mads died', but then I remembered that when a loved one dies it's obviously kinda hard to think about anything else at the moment... but idk, maybe it occurred to him sometime later, following his happy ending with Mads?)

True, though, at that point the plague had spread all over Duckburg and NFenton had heard about people's sick loved ones all day for probably the last month at least. He can't care about every individual case when everything's out of control like that or the weight of that is gonna crush him (judging by the way Mads reacted though- immediately trying to help them out and going on a whole quest with them- I'd say he did get caught up in each case and was exhausted and miserable because he couldn't really help). Of course that doesn't mean he isn't trying to help or that he doesn't care- but he did mention in the snippet that he had heard a lot of ideas from people for what they could use as a cure, and I'm sure half of them are genuine and wouldn't work and the other half were people just looking for money (and also wouldn't work). At that point he was fed up and discouraged and just automatically turning most of the ideas down, leaving the search for a cure to Blue and the other witches/wizards working at the castle. The only reason he fully heard Gyro out was because Blue stepped in and said it might work, and because Gyro said he didn't want any money (which mostly rules out the possibility of Gyro scamming him because he doesn't get anything out of this). So NFenton's 'stoic logical coming off as uncaring' thing really does play into why he's so desensitized to the details of each individual case. He's doing it to save his mental health.

#thanks for the ask!#shychick-52 #So yes I think once mads is better he could empathize with Gyro better?? but also he could empathize with half the kingdom better ssdlkfjsd #the plague is hella contagious and spreads through wizards the fastest #using your magic to dry your laundry out in your yard while your neighbor (who is sick) uses their magic to shut the front door behind them #congratulations you're dying now too #in Mads' case it was dramatic because he has so much magic #the more magic you have the faster it kills you #but like in Boyd's case it took a couple weeks and so I'm sure at first they didn't know it was the plague so #they weren't as careful as they should've been #so your neighbor using their magic to shut the front door while theyre sick isn't a good idea because they're going to kill other people bu #maybe they don't know they have it yet and just think it's a cough #witches usually just use magic to create spells and activate them so they can be more particular about when/where they do it #meanwhile wizards use magic all the time without thinking so. it gets them the fastest #Mads used his magic to fly them all back to the castle once Nfenton came to 'rescue' him from Gyro #I think that's what got him sick because if they'd flown over anyone who was sick then.... yeah.#blue is absolutey The Most Careful about magic because with their strength it would kill them in hours #fenton crackshell cabrera #nega fenton #nega fenton crackshell cabrera #negaverse fenton #negaverse fenton crackshell cabrera #madfen royalty au
