[The Acolyte will be fine--hopefully, anyway--and it's hard to feel too bad about the Acolyte having to deal with one of the many things they'd inflicted upon everyone trapped here. And considering the many, many worse alternatives, the Acolyte really should be feeling very lucky.
Of course, one Acolyte temporarily dealt with is not the end of it; the chaos is still going on, the escape attempt is still underway, and Jayden and Blake are going to have to get right back into all of it very soon. But for the moment, Jayden takes a moment to catch his breath as well, and even manages a spontaneous and genuine, if a little weak, grin.]
Didn't do too bad yourself. And thanks, for the save back there.
[It's strange to say that, but not in a bad way. He's used to being left to fend for himself, it's a nice change for that not to be the case.]
