There was a loud gasp of air that escaped Dolemeck as he "woke" back up. His one good eye looked over at Ilya, seeing him breaking down into sobs by his side. He tried to force another smile, and even raised his hand, despite the agony that caused his shoulder. He just touched the side of Ilya's face before speaking.

"I... am not pushing up daisies quite yet... so stop crying." He continued to force that smile. "I... I think I fell asleep, or I hallucinated. Whatever it was... I was seeing things. Not a bloody good sign. We have to keep waiting for help... and hope it arrives soon."
