Reaper of Rishiri

What he couldn't see was Claire's shocked expression as he announced to her what was wrong with him. This really wasn't the news anyone needed to hear. Her voice sounded even more concerned and stressed as she replied.

"You're insane. We need to get you to the infirmary immediately. You are in no condition to be on the bridge." she said as she walked up to his side and gently nudged him forward, but not before looking at the trail of blood droplets behind him that was sure to raise a lot of questions from the rest of the shocked officers on the bridge.

"I'll return to the bridge once you're there and try to calm everyone down. We shouldn't have issues now." she explained in an effort to convince him, obviously way too hopeful for how dire the situation with the ship was. The ship's internals groaned once more, and she was partially glad that he couldn't see her expression.

"Come on, let's move." the woman muttered as she nudged him forward once more.
