[font=trebuchet ms]Over the roaring in her ears and the fog in her brain, she could hear Eirny's voice ringing out, calling for help. Soon, someone would arrive. Their capacity to help would depend greatly on who it was, but anyone was better than nothing.
Sure enough, Lemy was the first to answer the call, clearly confused. He... had not received his promotion for any knowledge of healing, to put it that way, but she'd rather have him here than not have him here. Where he appeared, others would be able to follow. He suggested propping her up to give her more room to breathe- probably not a bad idea, she figured in her state.
Rin slowly lifted her head, bolts of pain shooting through every muscle in her neck as she did so. "Yes," she whispered, her face still pointed downwards, Lemy's paws at the edges of her peripheral vision. Breathing, in, out, in, out, twice slowly, to fuel her bruised lungs, she rasped, "Yes, please."
He wanted to know why Eirny was here, where she was from. What did he think had happened? Was it not obvious that she had... well, maybe it wasn't obvious. "She saved my life," Rin wheezed, wincing slightly at the twinging in her ribcage. That had to be three or four breaks, maybe even five. But she had to keep going- they needed to know what Eirny saved her from, otherwise they might think she was imagining things. "The gods my old home worshiped, they... they keep trying to kill me."
Swallowing the saliva and blood that had built up in her mouth, she went on, "One of 'em attacked... but she saved me." Stifling a cough from the pain in her ragged throat, and a yelp at the electric agony that coursed through her body at this one motion, she tried to straighten up slightly, allowing Lemy room to prop her up.
