[he's seething but managing to hide it. Kind of.]
[Private to Iris]
[This is the first time she's ever death tolled that he hasn't waited at her side for her to wake up. But he knows himself, and he knows that right now the safest thing for everyone is if he is nowhere near her.
So instead there's a message waiting for her.]
You've got a lot of fuckin' nerve doing what you did, darlin'.

[And between all that he'll be wandering, mostly hanging out at the pool, which so far has only pretty happy memories. Nothing that he has the urge to scream at or shoot; progress!
Feel free to come poke the bear.]

[He wants to stay angry at her and can't, which means that he's sinking rapidly into the sheer hurt of it all.
Which means it's time for exercise and liquor.]
Look, just- get in touch if you need it.

you have always been a powerful force for keeping me honest. and I do need that.
[And I love you. But she doesn't say that either.]

Date: 2015-02-09 02:22 am (UTC)He doesn't say so, of course. And he swallows it back and tries to find some useful thing to do with the conflicting feelings.]
