[ Bastard thing had put up a hell of a fight. Left John in a state before it went down. As if the magic he'd used hadn't been taxing enough, it had to bloody throw him round like a toy.
It'd done the smart thing and separated he and Chas just before it got real dodgy. Like a locked door was going to stop John from putting it down. It seemed to hope that the exorcist would lose some of his arrogance when left to face it down on his own. No chance.
Sour taste in his mouth like ash and sulfur, he groaned as the room swam into view. His chest ached from the last hit he took that flung him into the rubbish he currently lies sprawled atop. There's a banging in his head, no---it's the door. Must be some residual effects from that demon. Should all wear off soon.
His scalp stings and he feels wet along his cheek. Blood? Probably likely. He reaches a hand out, focusing through the wave of nausea that surges up, and mutters an incantation to unlock the door properly. That's it. That's all he's got.
His hand drops and his head lolls, chin dropping down to his chest. ]
