Sylvia watched the whole fight with a growing sense of dread -- but it all slipped away and was replaced by calmness as they managed to kill the beast. Smiling and going out to the fire with the others, she congratulated them on a great kill, and she joked it up with them until both of them decided it was time to turn in for the night. Now fully dark, her eyes were like pinpoints of light when they reflected the moon's rays. Seeing Shadow awaken, she spoke softly as to not wake Jakob as well, Shadow -- this is Geoff, and his power is of taming animals. Just like yours is materializing things you need, and mine is Illusion. I think he knows full well what Jakob's power is. She looked at the ground, remembering the fight and the injuries acquired, and excused herself.
Walking away from the light of the fire and into the darkness, she shivered at the cold. But they must not hear this. Sitting at the base of a tree, she closed her eyes again and checked under the cover of numbness she had placed over her lungs and stifled a yell as the throbbing waves of pain washed over her. Feeling her body, of course with the numbness again, she discovered that her sternum had a crack in the middle -- she marveled at how the pain didn't reach her even then -- and that bruises were all along her back and chest. She just sat there like that, the energy that was wasted from keeping the numbness there a total drain of energy, and she realized that she would need to get back to camp soon, but her injuries were weighing her down and the lack of energy was making her body cry out for rest. Eventually, she fell asleep leaning against the tree, shivering in the cold and causing her to sweat feverishly.
