[pressing a shaking hand to his throat, make sure to count this time so he knows his heart's beating right.]

* steady. not strong, but steady. *

You are-- [voice cracked in half there. Man, you're gonna think my bedside manner is shit]

You are very weak but it's only exhaustion. Your body is finally released of its stress. You may need help getting around for a day or two. The pain will soothe over time. I can leave you instructions. You're -- very cramped up, essentially, but with rest and slow stretching and the right foods, you will recover very quickly.

[n-noise, squeezing his forearm]

[tothelight]

* blinks... and seems to realize. *

...manageable.

[grabs at his owwwn forearm in a certain spot, squeezing]

Do you keep paper in your desk?

[tothelight]

Right and top... if there's any left.

[nothing really happens there, maybe just a nervous habit. He turns his back to find some paper and something to write with. He finally finds something that will work, and moves to the desk, quickly clattering a few vials, containers, and dried herbs from his sectioned satchel in an organized line along the surface.

Then he starts scrawling instructions for you and your caretakers to follow. Exercises, stretching, preparations for medicine, diet, bedrest and crutch orders...]

I'll leave quickly-- I would stay normally but -- this should be enough to guide you through your recovery.

Ceres... you could tell her.
