Tayen inhaled sharply, reaching out to grab her arm.

Her grabbed it just as she slipped off the edge. “Let me go, otherwise I’ll pull you off too.”

"What? No!" He dug his tool into the ice, pulling her up as hard as he could.

“I’ll be fine. You’re about to fall too, so don’t make us both fall.”

“You can’t stop it. You can just save yourself.” She began slipping out of his grasp.

"No!" He pulled harder, holding on tightly as he heaved her upwards and back to the roof.

I don't know, do you want that to happen?

If he fell but saved her that would be interesting.

Sure!

Tayen managed to pull her all the way up, then relaxed, breathing heavily. "See? I-"

Just then, his tool broke free of the ice, and before either of them could react, he slid and plummeted off of the roof.

She gasped, reaching out, even though she knew she wouldn’t be able to save him. She stood, shaking, and began the long climb back down to go find his body. He would be ok, or he wouldn’t die at least. He would be in a lot of pain though.

The fall felt like it took a long time, even though it could only have lasted seconds. It was unsettling, but perhaps his mind didn't have enough time to process the terror he should have been feeling.

As Tayen hit the ground, he felt himself break. Ribs cracked, neck snapped. Pain erupted everywhere with a sort of viscous glee, like it had been restrained and was just released to consume him again. There was nothing he could do. He just laid there, staring up at the cold sky.

Helda ran to his broken, bleeding body. What was she stopped to do? She didn’t want to touch him for fear of causing him more pain.

"I... I'm okay..." He didn't feel it, but he tried to reassure her through a hoarse, strained voice.

“You obviously aren’t,” she said, tears leaking through her eyes. “Can I do anything to help?”

Is he healing?

Not really. He will eventually, he has greater capacity for physical recover than most, but it isn't quite that much faster than normal healing generally.

"Don't... know. It hurts."

“I could…make you a new body. You’d have to die first though, or come as close as we can to true death. It will hurt, more than this, but just for a moment.”

What would be the most humane way to do this?

There's not a lot of good options. His body basically has to be destroyed beyond any hope of use or repair.

Yeah, ok, I’m going to skip writing that then, sorry. This will be traumatizing for her.

Helda stood over Tayen’s body, which was finally motionless. Tears streamed down her face. She had to bring him back. Then…then she could do something else. She didn’t know what yet. She transferred over into limbo, searching for him.

Yeah, that's fair.

He was there, looking at her, shaking slightly. Oddly, his form in Limbo seemed shrouded by a flickering, fuzzy light, much like a shade.
