"Huh. Well, good thing I have more back at home, I guess. What time is it? We left around...I felt like it was still morning."
Lex taps his foot while humming to himself. "If I had to guess? 9 PM. Not a lot of accurate clocks here, though. It's dark out."
"Well. What happened after I passed out?"
"Everyone was dragged back to the ship. They decided to keep the enemy ship around, supposedly in case of any intel. I think the captain just wanted a trophy." Lex pauses for a moment. "Benedict sliced off that big buff guy's head."
Huh. You're not going to question that. "Where are the others?"
"They're around here. Busy trying to calm down after everything. Adam's still recovering, Benedict and Ashley are probably doing their own things to distract themselves, and I've been waiting for you."
"Fair, I guess. Did the captain say anything after we won?"
"Yeah. He gave us these." He holds out a hunk of metal- No, wait, that's not any metal. That's pure, real gold. A doubloon. "Said he wanted to wait until you got up before he gave us specialized rewards. Crew sang our praises. Buncha hollow talk but it was nice to hear."
"Well. You got some time to dick around." Lex stretches his knuckles. "Before going back to bed. I think we still got two days left on here."
>TOTAL GAUZE LEFT: 0. SEEMS LIKE THEY USED IT TO PATCH YOU UP.
>WHITE POWDER status has expired. ASHLEY'S SONG has expired from your party. BENEDICT is now unmedicated.
>Your party has been healed for 1 (2 FLESH for BENEDICT) FLESH and RESTRAINT. You've regained 1 RESTRAINT through rest.
>The CREW and CAPTAIN
>PARTY HP
NICOLE: 4/4 FLESH, 4/9 RESTRAINT
LEX: 4/6 FLESH, 4/4 RESTRAINT
ADAM: 4/5 FLESH, 3/3 RESTRAINT
ASHLEY: 4/5 FLESH, 4/4 RESTRAINT
BENEDICT: 7/8 FLESH, 5/5 RESTRAINT
"Seriously, though, are you okay?" Lex chuckles to himself. You feel like he's doing it to try soothing his own nerves. "You scared me back there. Thought you weren't going to make it."
"Yeah. I'm fine." You slowly sit up in your bed. "Where's my combat suit?"
"Ah. They're trying to repair it. Took a beating last fight. Same with the armsleeve. I doubt they'll be fully repaired but they're trying."
>-2 VIOLENCE and -2 MAX FLESH from losing your equipment. FLESH is now 4/4, VIOLENCE is now 3. You'll get them back later, though you doubt they'll be as strong.
"Fuck. Those were really useful." You lean back onto the shitty cot.
"Hey, they were going to break sooner than later. Just be glad you're alive, okay? I-" Lex lets out a sigh. "I was worried about you." You feel your heart sink at this. You can barely see his face but in the faint light, you can make out the stress evident in his eyes. They're bloodshot and red. He clearly hasn't slept any.
"Shit, man. Hey, hey, I'm fine." You offer a small smile. "I'm just shocked my heart didn't explode." Lex doesn't respond. Yeah, probably not a good idea to say during everything. Well, what do you plan on doing? You got some free time to burn.
