Kobra had been dealing with a constant headache ever since that last goddamn glitch. Wandering around the woods hadn't exactly done good things for his cold and he spent his time sneezing, sniffling and generally feeling sorry for himself.

He barely glanced at the tablet at first when a text came in, but then squinted and read it again, frowning. Tapping the tablet he started a transmission to Cain, lips still pursed and eyebrows narrowed.

"What's this stuff about?"

Considering Cain's usually prompt in replying to messages directed at him, maybe the five minutes it takes him this time is indicative. Of what, well, that's up to someone else to decide.

The Cain that looks back at Kobra over the link is pale and drawn, jaws clamped firmly together.

"It would seem Glitch is dead. Fell into a crack somewhere in the hedge maze. Burned alive."

He didn't get anything coherent out of the vampire; yelling at him helped even less.

Well, shit. They had their way of dealing with such things in the zones, but here? Kobra's face showed how out of depth he was for a second or two before he put on a brave facade.

"I'm sorry." Then he remembered something he had heard and licked his chapped lips. "Do you...do you think they'll bring him back? People don't stay dead here, do they?"

"I don't know, Kid," says Cain, working his jaw left and right. "Brought me back, but I haven't been here long enough to know if it's common practice."

You'd have to ask... You'd have to ask Glitch or DG, with how long they've both been here. They should know. The thought almost breaks his heart.

"All we can do is wait."

Kobra nods, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. This is seriously Costa Rica. And...and he'll have to talk to DG next, make sure she's okay and not doing anything too stupid. Or well, helping her doing something stupid so she doesn't get into trouble all by herself.

"Want me to come over?" he offers, not knowing how to deal with this with words. Party is the one with the words, Kobra is the one who's good at keeping company when it comes to this. When Grace's brother. . . well, after that he didn't sleep for two weeks, either sitting with Party or distracting Grace or trying to keep Ghoul from blowing things up. As moody as he is himself, Kobra goes out of his way to make sure his family is okay.

The offer is appreciated, but right now he can't bring himself to say yes. No one should have to be around him when in this state of mind. "Maybe later, okay?"

He shouldn't be alone right now, but Kobra isn't going to force his presence onto anyone.

"Sure thing, cowboy. You just let me know, okay?" Kobra asks, worry evident in his voice if you know how to read his intonation, that's sometimes a little off.

Kobra's intonation isn't the only one that's off at the moment - Cain's not usually the most melodious speaker, but he's edging close to a monotone now.

"I will. Thanks. I'll talk to you later, Kobra. You stay safe."

"You too," Kobra nods. "Don't do anything stupid, tumbleweed." Though sometimes you need to be alone, Kobra understands that. "Talk soon, yeah?"
