>>6082182To your shame you’re too tired to make it so Marie doesn't have some slight scarring even if she doesn’t seem to mind, but overall you're satisfied with your results. You'd like to see Lyndale match what you just did! Fighting off a Stranger, Changeling, then healing someone from the brink of death. Ha, like that little commoner would ever be able to!
Then a wave of vertigo hits you once the adrenaline begins to wear off, you didn’t think it was possible to get more tired. Then you gag as rancid smells of the post-battle remnants hit your nose. You try to stand and find yourself unable to. A rather upsetting problem seeing as you need to rely on Marie to get up, and you're forced to practically hug her to walk a bit. But being above the corpse and body with her allows you to contextualize the new problem you face. What the hell do you do now?
You have a dead Stranger and an unconscious changeling under a settled bridge that has [i:lit]very[/i:lit] heavy foot traffic above due to the lockdown. The two of you are also completely covered in blood, your outfits ruined to the point Cathy would weep if she saw you, and you yourself are dead exhausted from mana overuse. Perhaps you could leave the two here and try to continue your private investigation around the city? It'd undoubtedly be challenging, but you're sure the changeling is stable, and it certainly shouldn't be awakening anytime in the next couple of days. You could also call the guards, but that complicates things, involving the authorities in this mess while you're still on the run. Or you could send Marie to the Cathedral to notify them or try to get Asher. You can do a wealth of things, but are any of them exactly good decisions?
