By now, you may have noticed some among your number missing. I can assure you they are being well taken care of with what supplies we have in this time of war.

Our struggle here is drawing to a close. I presume both sides would like to avoid further loss of life. The Empire-- the Regency, as you call us-- certainly would. I myself grow weary of slaughter, especially this senseless murder of my soldiers.

This can be ended. I do not have the credentials necessary to surrender. You do. Call off this useless struggle. Your people will be returned to you.

Of course, if you have questions, I beg you to ask them while we have the time. This transference into your network will not last for long.

[ He's right... What little energy he has left can't be spent making graves for the dead. He can only tell himself that he'll come back later to finish making the funeral arrangements. ]

Don't mention it. All I ask for in return is that you help me save Noctis. [ He can see how worn he is. He remembers Kebechet's demands and how he wanted the other warrior to be conscious and alive. ]

Sleep. I'll wake you when it's time to leave.

[dipolar]

I was going to do that anyway. (help achilles or save noctis on his own, his meaning isn't very clear. but that's intentional.

because for once, hei refuses to butt heads with his comrade, something that may be a symptom of the exhaustion he's trying desperately to hide in a tight curl of shaking fingers into fists. or the respect achilles has earned in sharing his goal, finally taking one of his offers. leaning against a split rock that looks far too uncomfortable to rest against, hei's eyes drift shut.

rare, that sleep should come so swiftly, but it's not without fever dreams and a cold sweat matting cropped bangs to his forehead as a weakened body tries to stave off illness.)

[ Achilles isn't around to look after him, unfortunately.

What progress Hei has made cleaning up, Achilles will at least manage to finish what he started. He's quick, moving the bodies of the dead into neat rows and sorting those who belonged to the Regency onto the cart (?) Hei had brought. Each corpse is laid down with respect, with none overlapping as he begins the process of moving them to the designated spot he had agreed to meet Kebechet at.

When he's finished, he comes back to fetch Hei. Since they parted ways he had a conversation with his teacher and understands that time is now precious. To avoid interference, they're going to have to move quickly.

He doesn't rattle Hei awake. He places a hand on his shoulder, hoping that the touch will be enough to rouse him. ]

You're not doing well. [ Captain obvious. ] Are you sure you're going to be able to do this? I can ask someone else to come with me.
