A cold breeze swept through, and all the medic could gather the energy to do was curl further in on himself, finding warmth in his own feverish skin.
A touch to his shoulder caused him to look up, and Selby forced his eyes to focus. Crow... of course he would come. The paw on his shoulder allowed him to focus on his words, and he thought for a long moment to give his response. "Can’t walk. Too dizzy. Sorry," he began, voice raspy and quiet. "Sorry about the.. mess," he continued. "I know you’re prolly too busy to deal with stuff like this. Sorry." And though the feline knew better than most about how it was never a bother to take care of people you care about, his heart still panged with guilt. His mind wandered to his own responsibilities. "I should... I should’ve b’-able to deal with this on my own. Guess I’m not all that good at my job. Arrow proved that. I should’ve b’able to save her too. I’m sorry." And with that, the dam broke. "God, I’m sorry.. so sorry. I’m sorry. It’s my fault. All this. I..." He couldn’t finish the thought, his foggy mind unable to find the words to convey his feelings.
