His own wounds had been mostly superficial, and once Donnie steps out onto the greenery he can feel the throbbing of his bruises fading. The refresh helps keep him from a complete adrenaline crash, but mentally he's still on shaky ground. He looks at Shu, and the fact that she's gotten herself patched up for now is one small weight off his mind, if for the time being.

The turtlekin looks to the others, still too numb to be completely unsettled by the expectant looks from more than a few of them.

"We must complete the mission."

Shu's right, and as he lets those words sink in, he tries to hang onto them, repeating the last three in his mind like a mantra.

The breath he takes in then is almost a gasp, like he's just remembered to do so. He nods, hoping he looks more confident than he feels, taking a step forward.

Complete the mission complete the mission complete the mission...

Again he nods, like he's trying to convince himself. If he can't fool them, he can at least try to fool himself.

"This way," he says, gesturing with his staff as he heads towards the main corridor again, pointedly avoiding making eye contact with Lord Gundhir.
