[ Considering that Ernesto's attention is a little split right now, he also has no idea where the hell Dokja just came from, but he's not about to question it. Maybe Dokja was a lot closer than he realized. It's not something he's giving a lot of thought right now as he struggles to think past the pain, and about the only other thing he's able to focus on is the fact that Eustace is now moving towards them again.
He has no idea what the regent has in store for him if he's caught, but he sure as hell doesn't want to be Eustace's prisoner after the fight they've had. He wheezes out a laugh that turns into something that sounds just a little too much like sob as he tries and fails to hoist himself back up. ]
Okay might be a bit of a stretch right now.
[ At least he can still talk and joke, but that's about the extent of it. The poor attempt at a smile drops immediately, as his ears pin back with the sound of Eustace's approach. ]
Mr. Dokja...
[ He looks up at Dokja with unguarded anxiety. The decent thing to do would be to warn the other man to run right now, but he can't bring himself to actually ask for that when he's genuinely afraid of what happens if Eustace gets hands back on him. ]
