The pain was pretty damned bad but when the other man shrank down and his face fell, Landen felt bad for his outburst. He didn't particularly like feeling bad about things, it was too much work in his opinion, but he did. He was a little soothed when the other man took the blame for the situation, even though Landen could be blamed as well. He hadn't had his eyes up and paying attention any more than Zoremet had. And that's who it was, a candidate that Landen had met briefly during his stint in Ista.
"It's fine," he said and waved his hand in dismissal, "I don't need a healer. They've already done their damage." He lifted the cast for Zoremet to see. And started to feel bad again when Zoremet had a panicked look on his face. "Hey, hey," he said with a shake of his head, "No harm, no foul. I didn't die after all." He wasn't sure if that would make the other candidate feel better but what else could he have said? Probably a lot. He reached out with his good hand and patted the other candidate softly on the shoulder.
"Sure, yeah," he said and looked over to the spot Zorement was pointing out, "I could sit down a bit if you don't mind helping me over there." Not that he needed help but Zoremet seemed to need that extra bit of something to do. "You'll stay with me?" he said with a secret smile, "Just in case I need help again?"
