[ He wheezes. He knows that's not true because his injuries are healed so that's probably good but mentally? He wishes he was stabbed the normal way. ]
Hah. That certainly makes the two of us. For everyone who was touting about that bloody swamp doing them some sort of good, it certainly doesn't feel like it.
All your inside parts are back where they should be I hope.
[ she sounds amused but given how rough she feels there's a sense of DID THE DAMNED SWAMP TAKE AN EXTRA BITE OUT OF ME? FLESH FOR THE BLOOD GOD?? WHY OUCH ]
We're going to need to do something about if anyone else decides to dramatically reveal themselves like that.
Yeah, but... how. Clearly I don't stand a chance against a raging, possessed enemy... not that I ever thought I could. It's a lesson I've already learned and I certainly haven't forgotten yet.
And with three of them at once, too... relying on just our strongmen won't be enough.
Let's do our best trying not to incite that from happening again, sweet andraste. I've gone up much stronger enemies for sure but at least I was usually armed at the time. [ there's a moment of quiet ouching while she mutters about kitchen knives. hm. anyway, ]
I doubt they'd [ pesto ] be willing to bring out that bubble trick too often either. If we'd had something to send them into a nice nap, that'd be useful.
[ maybe we can just use caelus's bat to bonk them over the head ]
They can say what they wish but we've certainly been proving them wrong. Whatever is causing these monster whatnots to go out of control like this is certainly trying to make sure things aren't going to plan.
Wouldn't be the first time there's somebody on the inside causing problems for everyone else.
[ mutters tiredly ]
Unless they're waiting for something very particular like- I don't know a moon phase or something. [ watch that be it but hawke didn't bother with day 1 q&a ] Simply yelling 'get on with it!` at the sky feels like it'd invite more problems than not.

[ casually, like that isn't a concerning thing to say ]
Gods knows it'd probably hurt less.

You too?

[ that's a yes from her, doc. it's hard to tell otherwise with hawke laying face down but she certainly sounds terrible ]
Fighting the Arishok was less painful than this.

Losing my arm still didn't hurt this much.

Big fellow. Hits harder than a dragon hopped on poppies. Blasted bastard took all of my cantraps to defeat.

[ He says, in the tone of a man dying in real time. ]
Maybe now you can look back on that memory with peace by comparison to this.

[ she does lift her heads the slightest then, squinting at him with the dubious stare of the barely healed ]
How's your injury coming along by the way? Not about to slide off and meet your maker as well, are you?
[ the slightest hint of I WILL GET OFF THIS BED AND STRANGLE YOU MYSELF IF YOU TRY enters her voice ]

[ He's answerless for a while, just staring up at their creaky, old wooden ceiling. ]
Mercy. Is it really going to be like this, non-stop, for the rest of here...?
no subject
It certainly hasn't stopped yet.

They say the cult's goal isn't to demolish us all, not until at the actual day of the ritual...
But that's getting rather awfully hard to believe, isn't it.

[ He's so fucking tired of all this. He makes a strained noise that sounds almost like bitter laughter. ]
They want to kill us, but not too fast? It really would have been a kindness to just take us all out by now.

Don't.

May it simply be a nice earthquake to swallow us whole then.

Sure. Why not. God.
Maybe in 48 hours. I'm already going through enough right now.

Glad to know at least some things never change from one world to the next.

Nothing like... the outhouse humor of healing patients.
