The second blessing

“It's never a boring day without you, kid.” Skendus complimented, as he helped the other get up.

“Your bravery is… excessive.” Lisa added.

“Thankses you tew,” He blurted, and at this point, it was obvious that the forcefield would not protect him, if it was Tim who behaved like a projectile. “I got ring.”

When Ortana saw him afterwards, she bent over, laughing. She kept him safe so far, so she didn't feel bad about laughing at his current, poor mental state. She was bent over double!

Tim was left to rest afterwards, because he really needed to. It wasn't like he cared about that ring all that much either, because as mentioned before, he had hoped to find dinosaurs below the lava, so he gave the ring to Skendus without thinking about it twice. Half of what he did recently was nonsensical, but he managed to come back alive from his impulsive attempts, so it did not matter if he didn't make any sense.
