"A man rented me out for the night." He sits across from K then, studying him as if he might find some new way to help him recover. "It's okay. My friends got me out the day he brought me back."

"I let it happen," he says reflexively. Then he looks at his hands and amends, "Which doesn't make it better. But I wanted to know how bad it is there. Now I do."

And now he knows what he can fight against. Maybe more importantly, he knows what he can help other people survive.

"Do you feel sick? Or is it just a headache?"

"I can go," he says softly, and he will, if K says. He doesn't want to leave K like this, though. If he was so sick, if things were so bad for him he couldn't answer doors or messages, he worries about him being alone.

(He has a weapon with him and part of him, a not entirely conscious part, thinks if K changes sometime in the night someone who cares about him should be there to put him down when he turns.)

He hopes that his own relief is obvious and he hopes that K, seeing it, won't feel so compelled to be apologetic about wanting Jesus there.

"I can stay as long as you want." He relaxes and smiles as much as his torn lip allows. "Have you eaten? I can order us something."

They can't technically buy, but there are workarounds. He's found people willing.

He thumbs through his phone until he finds a place willing to deliver to LIERs, and he reminds himself to pick up extra shifts at Marked to make up the lost time to Vrenille. Vrenille who won't ask him for that time, who wants only for him to be safe, and the thought of that--and of what a strange community he's landed in--makes his mind falter.

Yeah, it's for the best he's staying in tonight. He would have either way but he's deeply grateful he doesn't have to do it alone.

After he hangs up he shakes his head. "I'm sorry- I didn't know the menu so I just ordered us the same thing." Number One Combos: Turkey sandwiches with sodas. "I should've asked you."

"Monday." The full force of his worried face is now focused on K. "How long have you been feeling like this?"

He gets to his feet--wincing just a little bit--and takes a step closer, then hesitates. "Can I?" Examine him.

There is very little touch in the exam, at least, and what there is is professional and practiced. You learn fast how to assess people in his world, to know who is worth carrying forward and who won't make it.

A blade runner.

He doesn't have to know the full scope of what they can do to be appropriately concerned. Especially when he thinks of the timing, thinks of Rosita's mangled, modified Abraham, thinks of his own shifting monster as it kept pace with him through the streets.

"They hurt you?" Is the one thing he can't put a finger on, because K appears to be completely unharmed.

"It's okay," his voice is soothing, low. There's a particular pitch to Jesus's voice when he's trying to comfort someone; it's comfort offered by someone who has seen the world end and still believes what he's saying.

He sits cross-legged, not touching K or reaching for him, but there in case he loses his balance or needs to be caught.

"We were all facing things from home that week." Meaning they're gone now, and no one is going to come retire K again. And if they tried, Jesus would be there to sneak K away.

"How often do you dream about him?"

Dreams are taboo territory for a lot of people, especially people Jesus knows. But recurring ones, he's always believed, can point to things if you're willing to untangle them. K seems to want that.

"What happens?"

In one sense, it doesn't matter if it's a real memory or not. It's affecting K the same way a memory would.

K describes a particularly horrible iteration of dreams Jesus himself has had: being alone and trapped, moved around with no way to move himself. Being completely at the mercy of indifferent forces he could never hope to stop. And given what he knows about K... He'd be surprised if someone as compassionate as K didn't have those fears.

It doesn't make it any less terrible.

"You've had that dream before you came here?"

"You don't have to remember the details." In fact he might be better off without them. God knows no one survives by remembering every scare and every drop of blood, every nearly missed fatal moment. "Not if you can keep yourself centered here instead."

"You can explain to them when you feel better." Anyone who worries will just be glad to know he came through healthy. Anyone who doesn't make allowances for illness doesn't know how lucky they are.

"Just think about where you are right now. Our food is going to be here soon," he glances at the window but the shades are drawn. "And it might help."
