[ He feels it at last - the pain of his body, the cuts across his arms, the side of his ribs, the hole bleeding out of his shoulder as blood drips down pool at his SCA. Roland's running out of steam. It's not like he came to the clearing at the peak of health. His breathing grows heavy, and he decides he needs to get a head start on his wounds before the two of them arrive to his location. ]
[ But he feels a lightness wash over him somewhat at the sound of Inigo's voice, like part of his fears might just be the shadows playing tricks in his head. They're not alone, the two of them at least, and that's enough to have him exclaim a non-verbal sound of relief.
No, not yet. Not until he sees them for himself. ]
Inigo, good, you're - [ Roland groans, raspy. ] D-9. This is D-9. Stay alert.
[ He manages that much before he goes off the SCA, and sets himself down at the nearest foot of a tree, its roots thick and messy. Out of his Arms Bands come potion after potion, downed and chugged like elixir, empty containers discarded to the side. Then, a bandage, gauze, and - dammit. He hears himself mutter. He left the salve with Koumyou Sanzo. Then just the bandages for now, as he tries to clean the small burns and cuts on his arms, then meshes gauze in a ball to stop the bleeding in his shoulder with a firm press. The potions were helping his stamina, but for now all he can do is wait. Keep his breathing steady. The same instruction he gave Halo, before... Just breathe. ]
