Wholesome Cicero Being Sick Headcanons

So i saw this headcanon post floating around about how Cicero would handle the Listener being sick, and today I figured “okay, buuut… what if Cicero was sick instead?” :0

Since he was likely horrendously malnourished during and after his time in Cheydinhal, and because he’s moving to a new province full of different strains of illness, Cicero gets sick. A lot. 

He hides it as best he can as he continues to do the Keeper boogaloo unbeknownst to his family, often to the point where he overworks himself and everyone is freaking out because he’s passed out on the floor again

Tries really hard to make it seem like he’s fine, especially when the Listener isn’t around at the time, because he doesn’t want to feel like a burden to anyone 

meanwhile he’s somehow paler than he already is and his skin is literally on fire

Sore throats are almost a guarantee because of how much he talks, and he hates whenever he gets them 

There have definitely been times where he’s worked his voice so raw to the point where he just physically can’t speak, and it’s torturous for him. How can he jest in a timely manner if he has to write down his jokes?!

Him being cared for is absolutely torturous for him, too

He’s used to being the one doing all the caring, and having it the other way around really throws him for a loop

Lowkey feels like he doesn’t deserve the care, honestly

He gets oddly shy asking for stuff, even if the person he asked was the one who offered in the first place, especially if it’s someone other than his Listener 

He just feels like he’s on thin ice with most, if not all of the family for how he’s acted in the past, and being in such a vulnerable state where he kinda HAS to ask makes him really uncomfortable

He swears, though, if he has to drink another one of Babette’s disgusting potions that’ll supposedly make him feel better, he will scream 

Just tiny ol Cicero all bundled up in a cocoon of blankets, holdin a bowl of soup

He tends to eat very little when he’s sick

He’s very antsy about getting back to work and usually insists he’s fine and can get back to what he’s doing, but if he’s severely ill and he knows? He generally won’t push it. But he has to be like… actually bedridden for him to get to that point.

If you thought he was cold before… buddy, buddy ol pal,,, this bitch freezin

it is the one thing he will complain about consistently when he’s sick

you could probably throw him in the fire place and he would still be cold 

Both loves and hates taking baths when he’s sick - loves it because guaranteed quality warm and temporarily unstuffed nose. Hates it because he knows he’s eventually going to have to get out at some point, and it’s gonna be Cold. Very Fucking Cold. 

Definitely doesn’t sleep well at all when he’s sick 

Like even shittier than he already does, unless he gets something from Babette to put him to sleep 

just a very restless boi 

Hyde would hiss at enemies like a cat if he was given the chance.

Nazir: By Sithis will you please shut up! Your squeaky voice is so annoying!

Cicero: *voice drops eight octaves* Is this better?

Nazir, falling out of his chair: hOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

i wonder if Sampo assumed that The Nameless were Masked Fools at first

i thought this whole beginning spiel he does was just him thinking the Nameless were Underworlders -> but that doesn't make sense when later it's revealed that literally almost everyone on Jarilo-VI knows who the Silvermane are

this isn't even five minutes into introductions and Sampo's already treating them like they're all part of one big- and pardon the pun- inside joke. i wouldn't even put it past him if he was purposefully using double entendres in case he was wrong -> "pricing your stock" can also refer to attributing your strong points//talents -> "same side" "same line of work" "charade" "vigilance" "sincerity" "an art to it all" Sampo frequently refers to their 'shared job' with entertainment monikers

i think he realizes relatively soon after this entire conversation that the Nameless are, in fact, not Fools though- so he doesn't ever hedge closer to the subject aside from calling himself a "senior in the field"

also he changes his phrases so that they're more reminiscent of his conman occupation rather than his Fools occupation

im also pretty sure he immediately pegged us as offworlders too?? -> this is after saying Jarilo-VI was uninhabitable anywhere other than Belobog

Charlie, slamming a Pokemon card down on the table: JOLTEON I CHOOSE YOU!!

Philza: W- What the actual fuck are you playing??

Dazai: [ subconsciously licks his finger to wipe some dirt off Atsushi’s face ]

Atsushi: What’re you doing, Dazai-san?

Dazai: Oh my god. I’ve become Odasaku.

Dazai: I’ve been trying to avoid becoming Mori for so long that I didn’t see it coming.

Hunter: We have your mate.

Derek: …

Derek: Stiles? Stiles Stilinski? You have Stiles Stilinski?

Hunter: Yes.

Derek: No you don’t.

Hunter: What do you mean - ?

In the background: shit, he’s gone!

Derek: *laughs* Good luck with that.

Jack: Cas I need you to come pick me up right now

Cas: Why

Jack: Dean is passive aggressively doing the dishes he asked me to do 8 hours ago

Jack: This house isn’t safe for me anymore

Steven: Let's get a birthday cake!

Marc: But our birthday isn't even this month?

Steven, whispering: The cake won't know that.

Marc:

Marc: Valid. Let's get two.

I actually really like Tighnari's outfit. Not only do all the designs and colors please my neurodivergent brain but it also feels like he just found things that he liked and threw them all together. As someone that tends to do that very same thing it just makes me like him all the more for it.
