[Just across the hall or halfway across the Keep; in the end it all feels the same ridiculously long trek. Alex grunts softly but does his best to hold in the most of his reactions to the jarring. He knows that Xanth is doing his best to help him and there is little enough to be angry about just now.
A little longer in the cold room, after all, and he'd have been a catcicle.
Thanking whatever God chooses to listen, they are at the infirmary after what seems like forever but is more likely just Andes minutes of painful trudging.
As Xanth sets him onto the cot, Alex nods in understanding, teeth gritted tightly as he wills his stomach to not recoil. It's been two days since he ate anything of substance and whatever that had been was quickly burned off during his transformation.
Even pained and filthy as he is, however, he offers a hint of a smile.]
Sure th-thing.. not going .. anywhere. I'll be .. r-right h-here.
[Right here in this cot where he's going to lay down .. cause thing hurt too much to stay upright and he's still freezing.]
