34 Howls: [Accidental video]

[coyote_walking]

Mercy's clearly inanimate body was laid out on Thomas' bed where it had been since he'd brought it there Monday night. He'd cleaned it up and placed it in a place she'd recognize when she woke up.

If she woke up.

The camera was focused on the body for nearly a minute before there was a sudden startling gasp for breath and Mercy sat bolt upright with a cry, scrabbling backwards on the bed and grasping at her chest where she'd been shot.

"THOMAS!"

She looks at him, meeting his eyes, clearly working hard to breathe and settle herself down again.

I'm okay. I will be okay. I just... damn that's frightening.

But I'm okay. Thomas is here and I'm alive and I'm talking to you and I'm okay.

If she keeps saying it enough, she might even manage to convince herself.

You are, it's all right. Think about something, fuck, I dunno. Your favorite roller coaster ever, or something that made you feel alive? Shit, Mercy, I'm so sorry. I wish I could fix it.

I'm okay, I am. I'll... I'm thinking about rebuilding an engine. The focus and work - doesn't let me think about anything else.

I need to go to the garage and do that. Soon.

It's okay, Priestly. I'm fine. Or I will be.

Okay, right. Good. If you need anything, you know. I'm here. Give me a yell.

I know. Stop by the garage again sometime, okay?

Of course. I'll bring the lube.
