fivemilesdeep: (But if we try this)

Hemla has very good taste.

He sees the two glows and feels the warmth, and it's enough. Now that it has the crystal, the statue can help Potato. That's...that's good.

He wavers badly when the crystal's energy is redirected, stumbling a bit and clinging to the statue in order to keep his balance. He'd spent the return journey feeling pushed, like he'd had to throw his weight against the crystal's energy to remain upright, and that pressure abruptly disappearing nearly topples him over before he can find his balance again. It's a relief, honestly...and it leaves him open to feel the weight of his exhaustion instead. Between that, and the warmth, and the suggestion, he wants nothing more than to just sleep.

But he has to make sure.

"I will. You- do you need anything else? To help her?"

Not that he's in any fit state to get it himself, but he could at least let someone know.
