. . . You didn't.

So coughing up blood means...?

It's just something that happens, okay....

No, I mean, where does the blood come from...? The lungs, right...?

It's my lungs, yes. And my throat itself, I think, lower down...

[hmmm reaching into your neck and you can feel something nudging the back of your throat

that would be Ticky's fingers

dragging slowly down...]

[--WHAT THE FUCK

COUGHING MORE, ABSOLUTELY NOT DOUBLING OVER]

Oh, that makes it easier. Give me a moment.

[follows the wet shaking of his esophagus down to the lungs, and if you shake too much grabs you by the throat and squeezes to hold you still =x

Poking around inside your lungs now, taking out his fingers a few times to see if they're bloody]

[WHATTHEFUCKWHATTHEFUCK--

yesss his lungs are inflamed and slick with blood except where there are chunky clots and shit it's really very gross.]

[well, once he's sure that's what it and he's got the thing basically mapped out it goes pretty quick, sweeping his hand through the lungs a few times, and each time shaking the blood and gore out on the snow next to him with a wet sound, after about four quick passes he lets go, picking up some snow to wash his hand off with a bit of an 'ew' face. The whole thing takes less than a minute.]

That should help it.
