Spider comes stumbling in, so much that he grabs hold of a pillar to steady himself. His face is bleeding from several cuts, and so are his arms, where the shirt is ripped. After he's done heaving, he actually looks smug

She looked up from her painting when she heard his steps, ragged, and his voice. She looked startled, and a green line slipped across the painting as she dropped the brush. "Are you okay?"
He waves his hand a bit, sitting down. "I'm fine, don't worry. Just got attacked by a whole bunch of stupid flamingos. Stupid birds. I'll heal in no time, don't you worry." He smiles a bit.
"Nononono, you do not clean up one bloody bird with the other one. Dogs might work. But I don't think they'd work against a whole flock of ugly flamingos." He scowls.

Obviously you've never been hunting with them. If one dog won't do it, get several. Um... the hunting sorts. Flamingos... probably good swimmers too then, you'll want.

"...he may or may not be currently locked up in a cell, but I have an idea on how to get him out of there." He looks shifty. "I'll go after him as soon as I can. They won't accept anyone coming for help now already, anyway."

"I...I told Rosie. And she slapped me and broke up with me. Us. Me." He frowns. "I dunno. She's gone now."

He shrugs and dabs at his lip with the cloth.
