[ That is definitely the face he knows and loves, and the relief is so obvious on his face. The worry and the fretting melts away and he brightens. He looks good; he doesn't look like some zombie or dinosaur took a chunk out of him.
Johnny didn't want to come back, but that's not something he wants to tell his lover. ]
Hey, you. I was worried you got eaten! Where's here?
[ Johnny frowns. Jack's smiling but he's bothered by it, and he's itching to fly to him. He wants to bundle him up and kiss him stupid and warm him up. Johnny sighs -- at least he's with Simon, that's good. ]
We're gonna make leather boots out of his hide. [ Johnny scowls at that. The adversarial nature of their connection isn't new, but abandoning Jack in the tundra is absolutely unacceptable. ]
Hang on. I'm coming for you right now. Do you have anything around you to keep warm with? Is Simon okay?
[ Johnny sobers. He understands what he means. A part of him wonders if Jack would be just as sad if he hadn't returned, and he feels guilty for not wanting to be here -- then irritated at himself for it.
He shakes it off. Jack's here and safe, and that's what matters. He'll deal with everything else later. His special someone is here, he has to focus on that. ]
Would giving him ciggies help? I mean, it's not like he can get cancer.
[He smiles at Johnny, quietly but so extremely grateful to see him. He feels guilty for that too, knowing how happy Johnny was to be home, to see his family again.]
I don't think anything but time will help, if that. But I think being around friends is a good idea, if that's alright with you.

Johnny didn't want to come back, but that's not something he wants to tell his lover. ]
Hey, you. I was worried you got eaten! Where's here?
video;
[And the cold has turned his normally pale cheeks a little ruddy, makes the tip of his nose pink.]
We've been taking shelter in this town.
video;
You look cold. [ He frowns. ] I've never let you get cold before. You're with someone?
video;
[Jack smiles a little bit. It was impossible to feel cold around Johnny, inside or out.]
Simon. He was at the church where I fell. [Right through a skylight.] Where are you?
video;
[ Johnny frowns. Jack's smiling but he's bothered by it, and he's itching to fly to him. He wants to bundle him up and kiss him stupid and warm him up. Johnny sighs -- at least he's with Simon, that's good. ]
Gailleann isn't near here anymore, babe.
video;
[He already knows that some buildings have returned as well as shardholders. And that's not all.
Now Jack frowns, his eyes growing dark.]
Maybe that bastard puca will spot it.
video;
[ But Jack looks mad at him beyond what he usually is. ] What's up? Did he do something?
video;
He abandoned me in this tundra. Sneered and took flight the second he spotted me.
video;
Hang on. I'm coming for you right now. Do you have anything around you to keep warm with? Is Simon okay?
video;
video;
Jack! Freezing your nuts off isn't poetic! Did you get hurt when you fell?
video;
[The eyeroll is almost audible, but it's such a relief, a comfort to know that Johnny is still Johnny.]
Not a scratch. [A beat.] I have to repair the damage I did to the church.
video;
[ That's a good thing, and Johnny's mind turns to something else, because Johnny is Johnny. ]
So, it didn't hurt when you fell from heaven?
[ ...yep. ]
video;
video;
video;
Just hurry and find me so I can kiss you again.
video;
Will there be cuddling?
video;
[Which could be considered cuddling. Very aggressive cuddling.]
video;
I'm hoping Simon doesn't have super hearing. The things I'm going to do to you... I'll make sure you can't walk straight for a week.
video;
I'm sure we can find something to keep him occupied.
video;
He's not, uh, hungry, right?
video;
[Simon might not say it, but he can tell. He sees a hunger in his eyes that isn't entirely unfamiliar.]
They're more like drugs to him than food. Someone special to him didn't return.
[The last he says more softly, looking at Johnny so that he understands what he means by "someone special".]
video;
[ Johnny sobers. He understands what he means. A part of him wonders if Jack would be just as sad if he hadn't returned, and he feels guilty for not wanting to be here -- then irritated at himself for it.

Are you asking me if he's allowed to be around us?
