It's not that deep of a wound ...

[ thought kakyoin answers, it's a little half-hearted; it won't kill him, but it's certainly enough to hinder him in the long term. he hesitates for a bit longer before canting his head towards the unguarded exit. the room's mostly quiet now, the remaining NPCs fighting amongst themselves or being taken out by other fighters. ]

I'd like to go outside first, at least. It would be bad if anyone attacked us while we were distracted.
