[ The ringing in his ears has stopped from the more heavier hits to the head he had received earlier. He hears his name, automatically turns towards the voice. Joel fails to stop the grimace as the motion disturbs his ribs, breath sucking in sharply through grit teeth, shuddering on an exhale. He's been known to have bruised ribs but these are hurting worse than simple bruising. ]
--Ellie?
[ Suddenly Joel's mind is going through the thoughts of how these bastards had kidnapped her just like they had him and everyone else. He doesn't see Tess anywhere with her; last he checked, Tess was never a blonde. His brows furrow together hard as he slowly rises from his crouch, his hidden injury and pain forgotten in the face of seeing her there and staring back at him.
He's angry that she's here, he's hurting like hell, he can only now think about how he has to fight to get the both of them out of here safe and sound. The guards here obviously were not playing around.
Joel is now like a mama bear with her cub, suddenly on guard and ready to outright kill in cold blood to keep her safe, his rage quiet and boiling beneath the surface, a silent promise of death. ]
Christ- they got you-?
[ He pushes himself to cross the hallway to get to her. ]
