In a bid to keep from screaming Dima bit his tongue while slamming his shoulder onto the marble floor. With a loud pop it fit back into the socket just in time for him to look up and see a figure approaching from the entrance.
It was a girl in a pure white lace dress. She walked up to him with steady steps while holding a glass of wine.
"Oof, that looks like it might hurt," she commented before taking a sip.
Dima rolled over on his back and took a few deep breaths before responding.
"Just...a little bit."
The girl walked around him in a circle examing every part of him.
"14 fractures, two broken bones and almost every bone is dislocated to an extent. Still think it was worth using that stupid thing?" she said looking up at the Budha statue.
Dima tried to nod but only a weak hum came out in response.
"Mhm, I'd probably be dead if it wasn't for that 'stupid thing'. But Lady Natalia..." he didn't need to finish the sentence.
