#ravio ate one and got sick for a week

[bringingtherain]

The day Shadow convinced Ravio to do something dumb. 

I loved to write fics, but one day I just... Idk... stopped? Now I also have the language barrier to worry with. But anyway, if you want to see my rusty (and certainly full of grammatical mistakes) attempt at writing somenthing since 2007, go on. Again, be warned English isn’t my first language, so you will see some grotesque mistakes. D:

"That's why you're a coward!" Shadow says suddenly, a grin in his face. "You think too much!"

The random shout made Ravio's fork stop halfway through his mouth. The merchant looked at his companion, eyebrow arched.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. If I stopped to think about all the ways the things I do could go wrong, I also would be scared of absolutely everything!"

Ravio decided to put his fork down and fully absorb that information.

"Are you really telling me that you don't think before you act??"

"Exactly!" He says, and the bastard has the balls to look proud.

"That explains SO much."

"So, what you really need right now is to do something stupid. No thoughts, head empty, ya know?" Shadow continues talking, like the other hadn't just offended him. Maybe he really wasn't thinking after all.

Ravio didn't look very impressed.

"I'm sorry, are you hitting on me? Because the only dumb thing here is you."

Shadow's pout was actually kinda funny.

"Yeah, you think you're funny, but let's see who will laugh when someone wet the bed because it was way too dark to go to the bathroom alone."

"Low blow, man. Ok, by all means, go on. Give me a good example of something dumb to do."

Even though he still looked kinda pissed off, the short one answered immediately.

"Try to eat one of those Blobs that like to wander near the house. Sometimes you can use the dead parts for potions, right? So eating a fresh killed one shouldn't have any negative effects." Ravio was pretty sure he heard his friend whisper a 'I guess' at the end of that phrase. "Hell, you don't even have to eat it. It's gelatinous, you can just take it and like, schlurp, ya know? Like soup!"

"How... How did you thought about something so fast?"

Shadow just waved him off.

"I was going to do it last week, but got distracted by a way better idea." And he shrugged, like it was no big deal.

"Last week?" When the realization hit, Ravio facepalmed so hard that the sound made Shadow almost jump out of his seat.

"Of fucking course. Only you to jump from 'eating a Blob' to 'try to ride a Lynel'." And he start to massage his temples, unwelcome memories flooding his mind.

"I didn't tried to. I DID it, and it was amazing."

"Yeah, for three seconds. Then it almost bit your arm off."

"Well, yeah, but you patched it off and now it's like new, see?" Shadow lift his left arm, making a show of showing it to his friend. "So everything worked out in the end."

Ravio just looked at him right in the eyes. The silence stretched for long, awkward seconds. Eventually, Shadow broke eye contact, suddenly self conscious. Good, he should be.

"Pray tell Shadow, how did you almost conquer Hyrule?"

The hylian made a face, pout on full display.

"I'm not too sure, to be honest. Vio was the brains of the whole operation, I would tag along and cause chaos." And then his face morphed in a expression of realization. "Now that I think about it, that whole circus would've been finished way quicker if Vio didn't had come to my side, even tho he did only to try to stop the whole thing. Weird, huh?"

The merchant just waved his arms, like he was showcasing to the goddesses what he had to deal with.

"I may not know Vio, but at this moment I've never felt a more deep connection to anyone in my life."

"Come on Ravs, stop being a drama queen."

"No, I'm serious. It's mentally exhausting to act as your brain cells, you know?"

At that, Shadow laughed.

"You're more like my common sense. My impulse control, if you will. No offense man, but between us there's only one braincell, and I'm pretty sure it's Sheerow's."

Ravio wanted to protest, because of couse he had more brain cells than his bird. If he wasn't smart he wouldn't be able to create all the magic weapons he did, for fucks sake. But then he looked at Sheerow, who was happily eating the now cold remains of his food --the same food he accidentally abandoned in order of engaging in this stupid conversation-- and he had to admit to himself that Shadow was pretty much right.

Time to eat a Blob.

Hi 👋🏻

(I’m not nauseous anymore and I ate a granola bar and some pretzels!) <- there’s one of my tells, you know who I am now.

So I actually have a Ravio hc list request for you if you wanna take it (sending anon because self conscious about requests for some reason).

I never got a Sicktember so I was wondering if you could put it in headcanon form if that would be easier (sick Ravio hcs) plz?

Glad you’re feeling better!

I completely forgot about the sicktember! I am so sorry

Ravio has a very weak immune system, due to malnutrition for the majority of his life, as a result he get sick quite often.

Being from another world Hylians sickness are much more violent for Ravio, something as simple as cold get him bedridden for weeks!

Even when sick he doesn’t stop talking or moving, the difference is he doesn’t have enough coherent thought to form a sentence or know what he is doing or where he is going, much to the amusement and horror of Link

He get cold very easily when sick, even with a fever, in Lorule he only has a thin, tattered blanket to keep warm. Lucky for him Link has many heavy blankets, he always request more but Link put a limit to three blanket at a time on the bed

He barely eats or drink when sick, because he has difficulty keeping food down even when not sick, and because he is scared of getting more sick from the polluted water.

When he not moving or babbling he is clingy! Link had to buy a bunny plush just so Ravio doesn’t get him sick as well from being too clingy. It doesn’t Ravio from trying but now Link can distract him.
