[The camera clicks on as it's dropped to the ground, showing an image of a lone figure stumbling off the docks. The figure is concealed by the shadows for a moment as they take a few more uneasy steps before falling to the ground near the camera. This fall gives the video feed a perfect image of Laura, in her current state. Deep burn wounds cover

[For a moment, all Fenris does is stare. How is she breathing? How is she still alive?]

Laura?

[It takes her a few minutes to come back on the camera, when she reappears she's healed more. Hair and skin have started to appear on her body, though she still looks confused and like someone who should be either dead or in a hell of a lot of pain.

[He has more understanding than most in regards to tolerating pain. He wagers getting raw lyrium branded into your skin isn't far behind the pain Laura is currently in.

[painhelps]

I do not know if that is possible. [She pauses.] We may die back home.

[doesnotbrood]

That seems to be a common thread among all of us here. [He pauses for a moment.] Worrying about that now is pointless, Laura.

I should be there. We must complete the mission.

[doesnotbrood]

There is nothing to be done for it, Laura.

[painhelps]

We cannot fail. All of Utopia will fall if we do.

[doesnotbrood]

Nothing will fail in your absence.

[painhelps]

I realize this. [It does not change her frustration.]

[doesnotbrood]

You should rest.

I need to heal. It should not take long.
