When Marlowe is able to think straight, he will be very grateful for the fact that he had only taken his doublet off before falling asleep. Of course, getting up off the floor when he woke up was...interesting.
He can't use his right hand, after all And blood, so much blood, and his head is faint with how much he has lost. As was opening the door of his room, given that his left hand was probably just as soaked with blood as his right.
Somehow, he manages to make it down the stairs and into the Bar, although that's the extent of it. The playwright falls back against the wall, eye closed and breathing ragged.
He's cradling his right hand in his left. And there is blood.
Rather a lot of it.
"Ah...a little...help, anyone?"
