After a super massive sniffle that seemed like it was going on forever, Maglor let go enough to pet his panda paws over Shady's cheeks, setting her sweatband askew, and then hugged onto her again.
"I'm trying not to...I'm sure...today...I even took...my meds," he was saying, between breaths. "I'msosorry! You made it better though? Weshoulddance."
And she had made it better, because she was sweet. And because Sun Drop, which he was going to drink. He threw off his giant panda head, glugged it down, put the panda head back on, and held out his arms like it was dance times. Even if he was sniffling all over again.
