I heard that.
[he let himself lay there sprawled amidst the rubble while he caught his breath. He had thought the overall ache earlier had been bad. He was wrong. However when Tyrande came down to him and, once again, look down on him and disregarded the efforts he made to be strong for her, it was enough for him to push past his exhaustion and force himself upright. He managed to get into a sitting position, and momentarily considered giving her a retort. But it would be pointless, her heart belonged to his brother, and no matter how much he tried to explain his choices to her, it would never change things.
So he just sat there, not responding to her. Not refusing her offer, but too buttmad proud to accept it.]
