My muse is been beaten badly and is in bad shape, yours finds mine in this state.

A hiss of pain left Colin's lips as he tried to stand, and realised it was a fool's errand. Each blow he'd taken had rendered in more and more pain, and nothing he did was going to lessen that. It was getting dark, and he'd likely have to stay there until someone from the house came along to find him – his mother would worry eventually, when he didn't arrive home, and she realised there was no ball for him to attend. For now, however, he felt entirely powerless.

Perhaps he'd brought this on himself. He'd been the fool to invest his family's money in Jack Featherington's scheme, the fool he'd started to think such investments were worth his time. He'd invested, after that, with the wrong people, and now...well, he was looking he wasn't in the same position as Penelope's late father. Penelope.

The second he noticed her, he felt like he was going to cry – something a gentleman certainly should not allow in public, but she shouldn't have to see him like this. She'd always been his dearest friend, and he'd made enough mistakes with her before now. He'd never appreciated her enough, it seemed like karma that she'd be the one to find him now. "Pen..." he winced. It was dark, it was clearly dangerous around these parts, he was hardly sure how far his attackers had fled... "You should not be here."
