No

You pull yourself up as hard as you can, but without the support of your other arm, you can't get far enough to fully get yourself up, instinctively, you try moving your right arm, but instantly stop and step off, clutching your shoulder in pain.

"S-Sanna cannot get far enough to pull herself up... It is no use, we need to walk." You say.

Nacius sighs and walks over to the saddle.

"Let me try, we need to move."

He begins trying to pull himself up, he's breathing in short quick bursts, trying to ignore the pain, he has to take his arm off of his wound and stretches himself upwards, trying to pull himself up.

"Come on! Get up!" He screams.

He's still trying to pull himself up, but the pain from his wound is keeping him down.

"Come on!" He screams once again.

He's straining himself, he's gritting his teeth and beads of sweat are dripping down his face, you walk over to him and attempt to push him up with your good arm.

"Yes! Yes! Keep pushing Sanna, we can do this!"

You were never very strong, and now that there is an arrow in your shoulder, you were straight up weak, but you gave it your all, pushing him as hard as you could, but suddenly you slip and the tip of the arrow brushes against the horse, causing you to recoil backwards in pain, and causing Nacius to fall backwards.

"Argh! Gods... Are you okay Sanna?" He asks, while clutching his wounds on the ground.

You look at him, horrified.

"Don't worry about Sanna, are you okay? This one just let you fall!" You ask

"Y-yeah, just a little tumble, the bandages are still holding up." He says, out of breath.

The both of you just stay still for a while, Nacius on his back, and you clutching your shoulder, when Nacius breaks the silence.

"Well, we still need to get moving, horse or not." He says before trying to sit up.

You quickly reach out with your left hand, trying to help him up, he grabs it and begins slowly sitting up.

"Don't hurt yourself this time, eh Sanna?"

"Same goes for you Nacius"

Eventually he's sat up, after collecting himself for a moment he nods and begins trying to stand up, still holding your hand.

After what felt like a long time, Nacius was on his feet, beads of sweat on his face, and trying to get his breath.

"Are you sure you are okay Nacius?" You ask, resting your hand on his shoulder.

"Y-yes Sanna, I'll be fine, we need to get moving." He says, pulling away from you and walking back to Whiterun.

Nacius pats Whiterun and grabs the lead rope, he then looks over to you and beckons you to start following. The three of you begin following the road again, this time, the weight of the impending nightfall resting on your shoulders.

"Sanna is sorry Nacius." You say.

Nacius doesn't turn to you, he just keeps looking forward.

"For what? You weren't the one who stabbed me." He replies.

"No, she is sorry for getting you into this mess, if Sanna hadn't met you today, you would probably already have been in Skingrad by now." You say.

Nacius shakes his head.

"Don't apologize, nobody could've predicted that, those two beast were probably camped out there, shooting at anyone who passed, this had nothing to do with you Sanna, nothing at all."

Things are silent for a moment, you look up to Nacius, he is still clutching his side, occasionally looking at his hand to see if any blood soaked through the bandage.

"If anything, I should apologize, I should've just kept going, I didn't need to stop and investigate." He says.

You felt bad for him, you try thinking of something to say to cheer things up, but things are dire, your lives are really in danger here, plus if things are bad enough to the point where Nacius wasn't cracking jokes, it surely meant that things were grim.

"Hey, with a job as dull as yours, Sanna doesn't blame you in your pursuit for a little action." You say, trying to lighten the mood.

You hear Nacius chuckle quietly.

"As soon as things get dire, you begin telling jokes, and I become the nervous wreck, strange." Nacius says.

"Sanna is still nervous, very very nervous, she just doesn't like to see you like this, she supposes." You tell him.

"How sweet of you." He laughs.

"So, you mind telling me what our little battle of flirtations back there was spurred on by? Did getting shot flip some kind of switch? Earlier you froze up when I said such things." He asks

You begin to feel awkward again, on top of the pain from your wound.

"Sanna was just trying to lighten the mood." You say with a grin.

"Hey! That's my excuse!" He says laughing.

The both of you laugh, Nacius clutches his side when he laughs hard enough. The three of you continue down the road in silence, you take the time to try admiring the scenery once again, but you were so focused on walking and thinking about Nacius that you couldn't go into another trance like you had been able to earlier.

You try thinking of something to talk about to break the silence, more jokes? Talk about life? You felt like you needed to say something to break the silence...
