When Ewan commented on the migraine she just nodded her head, “I know, they’re the absolute worst...especially the ones that make you temporarily go blind – or like, blind on one side?” she added with a shrug of her shoulder, it wasn’t like she got them often. She did, just sporadically. “Hard to think, hard to eat....really, just hard to human” she understood. Hopefully pinching the bridge of his nose would work.
Weird and friendly was likely the best way to describe Islay, especially considering her knack to throw in a perfectly timed bad joke...like the ones that made her friends say she stole corgis. She didn’t. “Okay, I’ll make a double batch of the blend my gran used to make” taking a piece of paper from her notebook she wrote down the ingredients. “its got chamomile, feverfew and ginger – my gran swore by it.” She gave him a kind smile, “another weird suggestion if you get like a hat and make it reaaaallly cold like by freezing it it can help regulate the pressure part of migraines” she had been dealing with these her whole life so, well, that was how she knew.
She was a nice person. She might think of it as nothing and that helping someone is just something that someone should do because it is what is right to do and is a nice thing to do but not everyone thought that way. Either way, he appreciated it and was thankful.
”Honestly, it’s just the fact that it’s just there in the back of your head distracting your thoughts”. He wasn’t exactly the type of person who was easily distracted but a thudding migraine was certainly something that could hold his attention even when he it wasn’t welcome. Could they make you blind though? He’d never heard of that one.
”That is super scary. I hope I don’t get blind”. If he’d been worried about his migraine before, it was nothing compared to what was going through his head now.
Nodding, the tall prefect just smiled and continued to pinch the bridge of his nose in an attempt to ease the throbbing pain.
”Thank, I really appreciate it”. He was sceptical but hopeful.
”A hat? Uhh…I can do that”, a smile on his face now as he imagined his brown curls all wet and soggy on top of his head as he pulled a wet hat over them. Somehow, he knew he’d look stupid but he’d still try it.
