[It would be great if he could just lie down, die, and come back healthy. Unfortunately, that isn't an option in these tiresome times.
Sieghart can force his way through most things; this is true. However, he also knows better than to force himself when there's a lull like this. His stomach swims and he stops walking to push down the urge to retch. What can he do, though? The venom is already in his system, and tourniqueting or compressing isn't the way when swelling is imminent. In the end, he takes a moment to steady himself before reaching down to dab at the bite with the wet hem of his clothes, then at his face with a sleeve to cool down.
And then he's back on his feet and on his way with the child and bundle in tow.]
