Anita is -- the curse...

Oh, come out and say it, Reeve. You failed her.

I did everything I could.

You say that quite a lot.

It wasn't my fault!

Of course it wasn't. But eventually you have to wonder, old man, the people you love keep dying, and there's only one common factor. That would be you.

Shut up.

Your mother. Shalua. And now ( Read more... )

*a voice, almost sleepy sounding*

... Reeve?

action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:17:14 UTC

[Thank god. Finally. He's up and into the bedroom seconds later.]

I'm sorry, love, I meant to be here when you woke.

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:19:12 UTC

Nnnn... still waking up.

[Rolls her head to the side to look at him, eyes still foggy]

action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:21:16 UTC

[He sits beside her, cupping her cheek gently, feeling for warmth.]

Take all the time you need.

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:25:22 UTC

[Her skin feels cool, but it's not the chill of death, but the chill of a body that needs to replace what was lost. With a soft noise, she leans her cheek against his hand.]

It won't take too long.

action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:27:54 UTC

[He almost cries with relief.]

What can I get you, love? What do you need?

[The shadows, whispering nasties in his head, whisper and taunt, making him flinch a little.]

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:29:59 UTC

[For once, she doesn't catch the flinch. Instead, she's busy trying to sit up, or at least get vertical and leaning against the headboard.]

.... coffee and you. Please.

action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:35:57 UTC

[And he's supporting her, as much as he can.]

I'll go get the coffee.

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:37:23 UTC

[Smiles as she leans back, closing her eyes again.]

Promise I'll stay right here.

action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:39:59 UTC

Good girl.

[It's weak, but the best he can manage as he flees. Returns a few moments later, still struggling to keep composure, with a steaming coffee mug.]

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:43:27 UTC

[Without looking, her hand finds the mug and before anything can be said, she's almost guzzling it. A moment later, she sighs and tilts her head, rubbing at her neck.]

... don't think I ever wanna do that again.

..... you alright, love?

Re: action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:46:28 UTC

I completely support that.

[Is he alright? No. No where near. But this is a balm on his soul.]

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:49:10 UTC

[Her hand moves to find his as she lets her eyes close again.]

... you didn't answer my question.

Re: action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:55:13 UTC

I will be. [Runs his thumb along her cheek.]

action! browning_baby March 8 2009, 04:56:25 UTC

[Tugs him closer and curls up against him]

action! urbandev March 8 2009, 04:58:29 UTC

[He presses his nose into her hair, breathing raggedly.]

I'm sorry, love. I'm so sorry.
