Well, I'm back.

What did I miss?

20 minutes, all right?

Yeah.

[He shuts his NV and waits. Sirius has fallen asleep, thank god, and so Jack simply waits in bed, legs curled to his chest.]

[About twenty minutes later, he knocks softly - he's made an attempt to clean himself up, but there's no hiding that he hasn't been sleeping. He sees Sirius sleeping and keeps his voice low, quiet.]

Hi Jack.

Hi.

[Carefully he climbs out of the bed, not disturbing Sirius, and gives him a twisted sort of smile. Grabbing the IV pole, he nods to the door.]

Come on. Let's go out. Take a walk.

[He nods.]

You want the pole or my arm?

[He gives half a shrug and clings to the pole, gripping it tightly. His face is pale with the effort, but he slips out the door anyway, trying not to draw attention to it.]

Sorry. To-- to worry ya.

[He angles himself to support Jack if needed.]

It's not your fault. I'm sorry I couldn't find you.

cowboy_newsie December 17 2011, 05:36:03 UTC
Don't be. Nobody could. He hid me well.

Parental failure guilt doesn't really diminish in the face of logic.

Looks like I should have brought you some cookies or something.

[He might still do that.]

cowboy_newsie December 17 2011, 05:51:15 UTC
Nah. I'd just throw em up again.

[He gives him a thin smile, twisted and tired.]

Believe me, Sirius' seen that three times tonight. It ain't a pretty sight.
