You lift it up with a frown and see the trickle of blood running down it has almost entirely stopped, leaving your arm smeared with it and throbbing with a droning ache that made you wince. There were thick scabs already formed where the puncture wounds had been made, even if the arm itself was nowhere close to recovery. Even lifting it took a concerted effort, with the muscle protesting as if you had spent all day doing basic labor.

You glance at the stash. Was it worth taking the whole thing? At a glance, you could calculate it contained roughly... four hundred thrones. That was more than some hab workers made in an entire month. Gross. Before taxes and miscellaneous tithes. It was also a noticeable amount of money to suddenly come into. Did you dare take it, and risk someone coming after you for it?
