TIGER'S EYE

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

Ghkk—!

[my heart sure is not lighting up and healing me here]

D-Damn, the one time I was counting on it...

Don't--[shit]--don't try to move too much, it will only open the wound. Take slow, shallow breaths but keep them even.

[shuts up and does so, squeezing his eyes shut for a moment]

Lean against one of these columns for support, but don't sit or lay down. Just--try not to move it.

[nods slightly and tries to shift as little as possible to lean against a column]

[kneels slightly to examine the wound and takes off her jacket to wrap it around his waist]

If I had the proper materials, I might be able to stabilize this for a bit longer...
