The knight's friend was alive, but had lost consciousness. His breathing was little & labored. During the trip, Arron had regained some thought & managed to crack his eyes open, unaware of his surroundings.

"Ah, Arron! Don't try to move or speak, you're in pretty bad shape. We're almost at the town." the knight urged his friend, frowning, but trying to stay calm.
"I promise I'll get you help, so please hang on." he added quietly. The town was in the distance, and they were quickly approaching it.

Arron managed a nod of understanding. His chest felt like it was on fire from the pain. He felt like he could not speak even if he tried. However, his mind was in a fog. Things were muffled to the young man.

After some more running, the hospital was finally in sight. Talbot jumped off of Atticus and rushed into the hospital with the injured mechanic in his arms. He begged the man at the main desk to save his friend, and Arron was helped into the emergency ward for immediate medical help. It was a waiting game for the knight as he worried while the doctors operated.

It took a long time before a nurse came to see Talbot. She told him that Arron would be fine & was actually awake, albeit very tired & under the influence of pain medication. She also explained that Talbot's quick thinking had saved his friend from any further injury.

Talbot was relieved, but still worried. Such an injury was no small issue. He'd seen many knights die of smaller wounds.
"Ah... may I see him, or would it be best that he rests?" he asked quietly.

"You can if you want to, he said that he's welcomed to visitors." said the nurse as she scribbled on her clipboard. She then says the room number the mechanic is in.

"Thank you ma'am." the knight bowed his head to her, then headed for the room he'd been told Arron was in. He stood at the door, then softly knocked on it and opened it a crack to see inside.
"Arron...?"

There was a mumbled greeting from a medicated mechanic. His eyes were out of focus, & was covered in tubes & wires. There was the beeping of a heart monitor as well, but showed all vitals were stable.
Arron grinned at his friend peeking in, showing that he was not in any pain.

Talbot cautiously approached the bed, then pulled a chair over to sit beside it. He didn't like the sight of Arron with medical equipment attached to him, and worried that the mechanic's experience with hospitals before would be plaguing him still.
"You're... going to be all right, Arron." he said quietly, putting a hand gently onto his friend's, "we're both going to be all right from now on."

Arron nodded. "Th-Thank you..." he mumbled, his voice slow & soft, "We-We did it... she's g-gone... but... we-we should get th-the crystal b-back... and... b-burn down th-that mansion..." Despite his drugged mind, Arron's thoughts were still on the matter at hand. The mistress's body was still in his home, with the crystal still inside her body. It was not going to harm anyone, but he wanted to dispose of the body.

"Ah, yes, of course. But... that can all wait. You still need to get better. That's the first priority here." the knight explained. He would not allow Arron to move from that spot until he was completely healed, no matter how long it took.

"Y-Yeah..." said Arron as he sunk deeper into the downy pillows behind him, "I-I asked th-the nurse... if y-you could... stay in here if y-you wanted... Th-They said it's alright & th-that... y-you can use the other... bed over th-there..." From Arron's speech, his breath was shallow. The medication combined with the blood loss made him feel extremely weak, but it had been a very long few days.

"Thank you. I didn't plan on leaving your side even if I was asked to." Talbot replied. He lifted his hand back off of Arron's, and frowned.
"You need to rest now. Everything will be fine, so it's time you finally got some proper rest."
