He looked down. "Oh. That's nothing. Sorry." He pulled the leg free. The thorns scraped and drew blood, but he seemed unbothered.

“Is it, like… oh, I remember.” A little. But nothing like this.

Ah yes, Haly doesn't know that Lerac is now Death's avatar. Fun!

Lerac looked at Haly. "In the time you've been gone, some things happened. I died, for one. But then I came back!" He grinned uncertainly, looking for a moment more like his old self.

She paused, then stared at him. 

Death's avatar? That sounded... big. And important, and powerful. 

"That's... crazy. Do you have to kill people or something?"

"Not... usually. It's complicated. Death doesn't usually kill people, really. He manages the dead. As an avatar, I can do more than he normally can at a human level. I'm on leave right now, though."

“That’s… sad.” 

She didn’t really want to do this right now. 

“I think I might go take a nap.”

TAAron looked at her questioningly. Do you want to be alone? She got a very distinct impression of the question, almost but not quite as if he had spoken into her mind.

Did she? No. No, she never wanted to be alone again. 

She gave him a reassuring smile anyway and started back down the hallways.

As soon as she took a step he started to move with her, as though instinctively. Then he stopped himself, watching with a concerned conflict she could almost feel coming from him.

“Yeah,” she whispered. “I’d like you to come.”

He followed, relieved.

They got to her room and she collapsed on the couch, staring up at the ceiling. It was so different from the ceiling in the crew bunks.

He quietly sat down next for her, seeming to wait.

“Sorry,” she finally said, and managed a weak grin in his direction. “Are you feeling okay?”
