[The comm clicks on and there's some staggered breathing before a very quiet voice comes on.]

Thank you, major.

Remy?!

[ttlynotawizard]

Pat? Are you safe?

[drunkwithdoubt]

I'm fine... I... I heard horrible things. And why did you go quiet? Two days of nothing from you...

[ttlynotawizard]

...I died, Pat. Ace killed me.

I'm all right now, obviously...

[drunkwithdoubt]

You died?

Wh... Where are you?

[ttlynotawizard]

I'm in my room.

[drunkwithdoubt]

I'm coming over. Be there in a minute.

[ttlynotawizard]

The door's open for you, Pat.

[Remy's in bed, resting, just looking up at the ceiling, waiting for Pat's arrival.]

[drunkwithdoubt]

[Pat arrives a minute later, looking like he hasn't slept in days. Moving to the bed, he kicks off his sandals and promptly crawls onto the bed, cuddling into Remy's side.]

You died... I knew I felt something off....

[ttlynotawizard]

[Remy closes his eyes and relaxes as he feels Pat lay down against him. He wraps his arms around the priest and holds him close, taking in his warmth.]

I didn't even see it coming. I'm sorry.

[drunkwithdoubt]

Don't....

[Pat doesn't know what else to say. He knows how to coach someone through the loss of a loved one, but how the hell do you cope with the fact that the man you're fooling around with died and came back to life.]

Just... Stay here. For a little bit; I need to just know you're safe.

[ttlynotawizard]

[He kisses Pat's forehead and softly smiles.]

Of course. As long as you need to be sure.

[drunkwithdoubt]

[Pat smiles softly, and curls up closer to Remy, his face buried in the wizard's chest.]

Thanks.

[ttlynotawizard]

[He runs his fingers gently through Patrick's hair and relaxes, letting out a sigh.]

Are you all right?

[drunkwithdoubt]

'mfine.

[ttlynotawizard]

Glad to hear.

[He squeezes the other man gently.]
