[Suddenly exhausted all over again, Dimitri just nods and makes himself comfortable, letting himself drift in and out of sleep.
The days that follow aren't much better. He'll at least eat properly on the second day, his rapidly healing body demanding fuel. But if he isn't eating or having his wounds tended to, Dimitri just sleeps for the most part, unwilling to face reality. It's not as if he doesn't need the rest, anyway — doing nothing other than sleep and eat results in him making a recovery that's just short of miraculous. Alas, he doesn't regain full use of that eye... but he doesn't lose it entirely, either, and he retains the ability to see motion and light if not much more than that.
It's early in the evening, and they used up the last of the medicine just that morning. Leaving while it's light out isn't at all a smart course of action, but as the sun starts to sink down, Dimitri grows tense. He knows what Felix is going to ask of him, and though he still doesn't feel ready, he no longer has a good excuse to refuse, either.]
