It was silent and it was lonely. He had thought he would focus on everything but instead he spaced out and lost the minutes that she had been gone. Focused once more on the pain that radiated in his leg. Momentarily wondered how much worse it would hurt when she straightened it.

Thank you, Kukutux. Spoken before he sucked in a breath. Sharp but steady.

He awaited her next moves.
