"You can take a break if you like," he said. "You must be hurting right now."

"Sooner I finish sooner I'll get out of your hair." She paused and wrung her hands, letting them rest for a moment.

She glanced around to see what the others were doing, then into the darkness. She moved towards the map to look over it again. Perhaps she could convince them to let her make a copy. After all, what harm would it do to them? She frowned. Bug would object to helping her.

"Shingles is back!" Jackson announced from where they had finished with the tent. The scarecrow was just a speck on the horizon where they pointed, but they were loping along at a good clip.

That was terrifying, to see Shingles lumbering along at an uncomfortable speed for something so seemingly clumsy.

"Not as long as usual," Roland observed. "Good; I don't like him being gone for so long."
"What, worried he'll die?" Bug snorted. "That's less likely than a building falling from the sky."

Rhys frowned. "Pretty sure the guy can take care of himself." She reached for a flask well hidden in her coat and took a sip of the precious water inside. It tasted like metal.

"That doesn't seem to slow him down." She went back to sawing and filing. More than halfway through this cuff.

"Not at all."
Shingles arrived at the camp, looking dusty but otherwise the same.
"Hi, Shingles." Jackson waved.

She kept working and finally managed to cut through the cuff. She looked around. "Anyone got something to pry with? Or is strong enough to carefully pull this apart enough to get his hand out?"

"Let me." Jackson approached and grasped the cuff carefully between their fingers. They pulled once, and the cuff opened enough for Roland to squeeze his blistered and bleeding wrist through.

"That'll need some cleaning and treatment. I don't have anything for that really." She did have some things but they were precious resources.

"I have a little medicine," Jackson volunteered. "I've been saving it for in case Roland got sick." They peered at the wrist. "Oo, that looks infected. Is it warm?"
"It feels better than it did when the cuff was on," Roland said with a shrug.
