We won't be.

[However he feels about Rhys--however confused his feelings about Rhys at this point--he can do this for Gabriel. Let him die, let them all die knowing that at least they weren't alone.]

I'll...look after him.

[Whatever that means. However welcome or unwelcome it is.]

[termineur]

Thank you.

[ It doesn't feel like enough, to say that, but it's what he's got. Ever since Hiro had him do that favor and compensated him by informing him he dies alone, unmourned, it's been stuck in his mind. He hadn't believed it at first- now, he's just happy he might beat the prophecy.

Especially now that he can't stand thinking about the same thing happening to his friends. ]

...I should get back in there, bang my head against some doors, see if there's anything we missed. But I... [ It almost feels like a last goodbye, leaving it at this. ] If you could use the distraction, we could talk while you walk. I always love hearing about your world's magic.

[thewarningafter]

I always love talking about it.

[Himself. He likes talking about himself. And maybe now there'll be someone to remember him.]

I'll call you again when we're on the move. I can even let Rhys listen in.

[termineur]

Yeah.

[ His smile is genuine, even if he looks about halfway to crying. It's better than he'd been at the start of the call. The emotions are still here, at least. ]

I'd like that. I'll talk to you later, Stephen. Safe travels.

[ And with that, he reluctantly hangs up. ]
