“Our wits are the best thing we got here.” He says. Some things haven’t changed between hopping worlds. “We jus' have to be fast an’ we have to be careful.”
We, he says, knowing sharing common ground doesn’t ever mean they were guaranteed allies or that he could assume as much. That’s the hardest part of trying stay alive, trying to find power in numbers. The person you met today could attempt to slice open your throat tomorrow. It really isn’t all too different, here and home.
“I heard not everybody makes it back.” His brows push together in an apologetic frown as if he's feeling responsible. It’s too easy to fall into the trap of assuming you’d reunite with loved ones after the horrors of a bloodbath when you had that luxury once, twice. Too easy to be deluded by hope. One day he knows he’ll wake up and go to Nick's door and his room will have been emptied out, nothing left of his best friend other than cherished, fuzzy-edged memories. “Not all the time.”
