I'm just going to do an Ika dump.
A tip to you writers: when one is in significant pain (I.e your character has been injured) they're usually more focused on being in pain than giving an impassioned speech. If they're not, they've got nerves of steel.
@Absolis :( sorry to hear. Hope you feel better soon! Shall I wait for you to post? Or would you rather I go before? I would not overstep if you have something in mind.
