He was too busy being held upright by the spell to collapse to his knees, but the second the blue landed, he was already on his knees, and well on his way to smacking his head against the roof. They hit the roof at about the same time, but instead of passing out, the pain of smashing his forehead brought him back. He shook his head, and staggered to the edge of the roof, before rather calmly putting three shots into the necromancer. Just to make sure he was dead.<br/><br/>That done, he holstered his weapon, having to try a couple times before the world stopped shaking. The weapon safely secured and the safety on, he staggered over to the blue, and put one hand on its neck, and then his knees gave out again. This time, he leaned against the blue instead of falling over, and just rested, breathing slowly. He honestly hadn't expected it to work, just hold the poor thing together long enough to kill the necro, not actually bring it back to life. The Queen was either going to not believe him when he told her, even if he had the blue with him, or was going to expect more out of him. That he hadn't thought to connect everything was... disconcerting, but in retrospect, he should have expected it. Now he had someone else to take care of, provided they lived through the night.<br/><br/>And then he lost his battle against fatigue, and slumped into semi-unconsciousness, the sudden exhaustion from lack of real sleep and creating a blue, nearly whole cloth, knocking him out like nothing else would have. He groaned, suddenly feeling like he hadn't eaten in years, though something about that felt off, like when he had reduced circulation to a limb, and it was starting to get feeling back. Like it was a phantom pain, felt long after the injury was gone. But it didn't stop the pain of being famished, though he did realize that he wasn't entirely unconscious.<br/><br/>It took forever, though it was likely only a quarter hour at most, before he managed to lever his lead filled head up, surprised his rubber, boneless neck could still support it. He choked, and then swallowed, before trying to speak again. "Meridia. A little... little... little help... here?"
