Rune Shamalain
Glassjaw Geist
The man kept breathing and his heart kept beating, accompanied by a sickly silence and a persistently high fever.
His body shook and quivered for nearly an hour before stillness returned. The fever lasted another hour. An hour after that the man stirred faintly. He didn't move much and his eyes didn't immediately open, but it was clear he was regaining consciousness by the pained groan that sounded from the back of his throat.
Felt her hands on him, sensed her presence there, but could not fully grasp where he was, or when.
"...what happened."
