  1. "Okay." Vena stood up slowly, clearly still exhausted. She looked overall worse for wear, her hair a mess and her dress worn and torn in some places. She began walking out of the cabin ahead of him, but stopped and cringed momentarily at the cold air outside.
  2. "Don't be sorry. It's my fault." She held on to him tightly. "And... thank you. For caring."
  3. Her gray eyes shimmered with tears. "The... the water was so cold."
  4. Vena turned away. "I'll hurt you. I've already hurt you. I'm better off dead." She began to break down into sobbing.
  5. "I wanted to be. So I wouldn't be a burden. Why didn't you let me?" Tears sprang to her eyes.
  6. "I should be dead," she whispered.
  7. After a while, Vena woke up, eyes fluttering open. She saw where she was resting, and sat up immediately, reddening. "I... I'm not dead."
  8. Vena found that death felt pretty comfortable. She felt warm and dry, if very tired. Her head rested on something soft and warm. She didn't want to open her eyes, so she just continued lay wherever she was, content.
  9. "Very." @The Wandering Wizard @CalanoCorvus
  10. "Yeah, there should be medics here soon."
  11. "Other than that... is everyone fine?" @The Wandering Wizard
  12. TAAron stood up and walked toward the conflict. "What is happening?"
  13. The chill in the air did not recede.
  14. Eventually, Vena's breathing grew more somewhat more steady, though it still wasn't ideal and she didn't yet wake up.
  15. At first, it seemed like nothing happened. Then, almost imperceptibly, Vena's chest began to rise and fall with breath.
  16. Vena remained dead.
  17. A good deal of water did come out, but Vena did not continue breathing.
  18. She was not breathing, and had no pulse. Her body was deathly cold.
  19. Vena was not there, and she did not appear for several minutes. Then, a pale, lifeless form with brown hair and a green dress drifted into view along the stream's current.
