Aiden Shepard [ Abraham Van Helsing ] (arcere) wrote in bellumlogs,
Aiden stayed down for about half a minute, debating the pros and cons of standing up, but eventually he got both hands under him properly and started to struggle to his knees. Joanie, hovering nearby, registered as a dark blob on the edge of vision until he looked at her, whereupon she registered as a concerned blob not quite grabbing him.
"I'm fine. Not dead. Yet." He pressed a hand to his face, felt no blood, and stood back up. For a moment he wobbled, grabbing at Joanie to keep himself standing. " ... all right. Let's. Keep going."
Yes. He was fine. Five steps later he was still standing, so that was good.
