You'll get it back. We'll find whatever imp or fairy or prancing unicorn that stole it and carve it out of its flesh, and take an extra pound for our trouble. But now isn't the time to do something stupid, so I'll say it again. Come back to me.
[ the fireball's not in the best frame of mind for this, he's not. he doesn't know how things changed, how jack is becoming a habit and not just a distraction. ]
[ it takes about an hour -- Johnny could've done that in a fraction of the time it took makes him frustrated, angry. He sends Rex away for the night before he makes his way back to the room he now shares with Jack.
He does it quietly, wondering if he's already asleep. ]
[He's not asleep. But maybe the bigger surprise is that he's not drinking. There's a glass on the table, but it's filled with water. Jack turns in the direction of the door when it opens, looking Johnny up and down. In one piece, if only on the outside. He'll still take it.]
Come here.
[But even as he gives the order, he's walking over to him, cupping the back of Johnny's head to pull him into his arms.]
[ But he likes it, and it's clear enough in his tone. Johnny takes comfort in it, in the fact that he's not drinking as much anymore. He knows it's a herculean effort, what with the loss of Mair, and everything that came after that. Jack's having a hard time, too, and he grips him tightly right back, arms winding around him, quiet and protective. ]
Sorry. You've got crap of your own to deal with, too.
