"You should be more careful now you don't have Konshu watching over you." Marc winced as you dabbed across the jagged wound that adorned his already battle scarred back. "Next time you might not be so lucky and I might not be there to drag your sorry ass out of the fight." You weren't sure if the biggest injury had been sustained to Marc's body or his ego as he lay, skin bare on the bed of the cheap hotel room. You looked around at the bloodstained bed sheets. "I don't think we're going to get the security deposit back."

"I'm fine. I was okay before Konshu and I'll be okay now he's not here anymore." Marc tried to push himself from the bed but collapsed at just a small push from you.

"You were okay before Konshu? I'm sure the last person that needs a recap of your life is you. Your problem Marc is that you always take too many risks, and while you had the literal protection of a god that was okay, but at least for now can you calm down a bit, maybe take a step back?" You put the damp rag to one side and closely examined the wound that spread across Marc's back.

"I can stop once Harrow isn't a threat to... we'll... the entire planet."

"I think this is going to need stitches, stay still." Again Marc tried to get up. "What did I just say Marc. Sit your dumb ass down, do you want this to heal or not?"

"I don't have time for this y/n, Harrow's going to find the tomb in the time I'm spent messing around here not doing anything." You began threading the needle with some basic tailoring thread, through all his protest Marc knew that you were right. "At least hurry up."

"There's no rush, you're out for at least a few days while this heals or you're going to tear it right open."

"No, you get this sewn up and while I'm very grateful for your help I will swiftly be out of here to stop Harrow." You couldn't help but chuckle.

"Look, I can't stop you but you need to let your body rest, you can't just instantly heal any wound anymore, you're going to have to get used to being a normal human in a normal human body."

"I haven't been normal since long before Konshu. Get me healed up and I'll stay here tonight and research but I'm out in the early morning, don't try and stop me."
