[This evening, Clem is outside, a small puppy on the end of a pink leash beside her. It currently seems to be happier rolling around in the grass rather than listening to the little girl trying to get it to do a trick.]

Sit. Siiiiiit. See, like this. [She tries to push the puppy's rump down, but it thinks it's playtime and rolls around some more. It gets Clem to laugh.]

No, no... [Sigh.] Okay, maybe we'll play for a little bit. It's time for a break, anyway.

[Oh honey. He sighs, scooching a little closer, putting an arm around her to pull her into a lanky one-armed hug]

It is, but Lee's a tough guy, you know? He was still fighting through it when- [there's a pause as the memory comes rushing back, the fall, the pain, the final, terrible gunshot] when I saw him last.

[He's certainly not planning on telling her unless he really has to. There are some things she's really better off not knowing, especially since he died going to rescue her. He doesn't want her to have that guilt. He knows first hand how it can eat you up inside.

He chuckles wryly, giving her a gentle squeeze

Me? Nah. I'm the guy that runs around and panics a lot.

[He'll offer her the smallest of smiles, trying to put her at ease]

Well, if they were they sure didn't show it.
indirectcause: (Lay me down on a bed of roses)

Oh, is that what it was? They hid it super well.
indirectcause: (And let go of what i’ve done)

[TOO LATE]

Sorry, Clem. I'll try better not to.
indirectcause: (I've had just enough time)

[That gets a small smile]

Oh, I know. No one would dare cross you, huh? It's like having my own little bodyguard.
indirectcause: (A penny for my thoughts)

Of course we are. Nothing's ever going to change that here.
