[He'd been there for hours, back torn open from the flogging received and body a mass of agony. Joe was aware that he wasn't the worst dealt that day, but it didn't mean his pain wasn't still on the extreme. He knew he should probably sleep, that the coming days would be busy, but for the moment, the man was content to stare blankly at the ground before him.

Guilt, was what he felt the most. For Sollux, and for Nel. The woman he wanted to scream at for being so foolish, for throwing her life away when he knew there was nothing she could do. Joe had witnessed and been part of enough trials to know that there was no passing the Headsman.]

[ By this time, Bryn's done with the salve, and the bandages were put on carefully, covering the worst of the damage. She steps back to look at her work before moving around to face Joe again. ]

Joe, it's okay, I know. He is my focus. But when there's nothing more I can do for him for a moment, I'll be checking on you and Sollux.

[ She begins to gather up empty salve containers and such to take back with her to the Keep, leaving no sign she'd been there but for the bandages on Alex and Joe's backs. ]

I'll be back with water later.
