Shi leans over me.
"Dear lords... Are you allright?"
"Fine." I grunt. Ishkal has, by now, bridged the gap temporarily with some simple timbers. The mongrels run away... back into the burning woods.
"Ishkal, I need you to take my cloak, cover Ella, and make sure she is alright for me." I think for a moment. "Be sure to tell her exactly what happened."
Ishkal nods, taking my cloak.
"Shi, please put me together again..." I grumble, and she gathers up the parts, pulling the red stitching from my pocket to put me and my outfit together again.
"What about your eye?"
I look down at Ill-grip's body.
"Look away, please..."
I reach down and carefully extract the remaining eye, carefully fitting together the optic nerves of my own damaged one to his whole one, placing it in my socket. I blink a few times and experimentally focus with it.
"Hrm. Not much better, but it will do." I also take his eyepatch and, after using the hat and the raging river to clean it, put it on.
"Now that that is handled..." I mutter, pulling out the spear. "Shi, clean this as thoroughly as you can. Go with Ishkal and wait for Ella to awaken." Shi reaches out for it.
"Your hands..."
"They'll heal." she states simply. "What Ill-grip would have done likely wouldn't."
