6th Tail

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira's face. She looks troubled, which even during the worst of times, is unlike her.]

Scott's recovering despite the best efforts of some people.

Dr. Facilier's rooms are gone. He didn't graduate. Is it a failure if an inmate leaves before graduating?

[Because it feels like a failure to Kira.]

Comments

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira's to uncertain and bummed that she doesn't even find herself startled by Steve's cursing.]

I'm sure he'd appreciate a visit from a friend, but the pack's taking care of him. We're okay. It feels weird, though, that death is...

[She trails off, not sure of what she's saying.]

[punched_hitler]

No, I'll let you take care of him, then. I'll catch up when he's in better shape.

[He's a friend - but he's not pack pack, like they are. He knows when to take a step back, and let Scott's family do what they do best.

At what she says last, though - he nods.] I think I know what you mean.

[Just because they're grateful for it doesn't mean it's exactly right. It's not how things are supposed to be. Dead is dead. It's always been hard for him to reconcile, in his own head.]

[whatthefoxsay]

It's weird. It shouldn't be disregarded...it shouldn't be cheap. But I don't want Scott dead. Or anybody else I care about.

[She was going to say "I don't want anybody dead." but she's come to realize that isn't a universal truth.]

[punched_hitler]

No. It shouldn't.

[He nods.] I don't like the idea of death being cheap. I think it brings out something a little worse in all of us.

But I agree with you. I don't want Scott dead, either. [Nor does he have wanted to die, himself, in Zane's attack.]
