Oh, come on. You really expect me to be taking a leisurely stroll your way? When I'm getting nagged about you constantly? By Dumpy and Jack, by the by.

You want me to send them ahead? They should make it faster, what with. Not being slowed down by freaking snow so much.

[headjacked]

Nooooo, with out luck he'd be mauled or -- Jack too? ...just. Hang onto 'em.

[phaseshifter]

Can do. And yes, Jack too. I can only assume he isn't already getting all up in this conversation because he's hiding in my bag and pretending he isn't listening. Again.

[ FOOL HER ONCE, OLD MAN ]

When I go to sleep, d'you want me to leave my tablet broadcasting? That way you can talk to them if you - you know, if you wake up for whatever reason.

[ like idk trauma nightmares or something ]

[headjacked]

...I don't think I need to be having any of... those kinds of conversations with Jack, and Dumpy. Well. He's Dumpy.

[ Rees loves his tiny son, but. He is Dumpy. ]

You can leave it on, though. If... yeah, if.

[ Yes, Jack is doing The Thing, peeping out of the bag. 'You know you miss the pep talks, buddy.' ]

[phaseshifter]

You don't have to have deep meaningful talks with them, Rhys. I just meant - you know. For company? We both know that talking about nothing sometimes helps with. Stuff.

[ Sometimes. Jack gets a look. ]

Meaning don't be a di-- douche, because I'll know.

[headjacked]

- I get it.

'Hey, heyyyy - I get it!' - [ synced with rees, natch ] - I know he needs kid gloves right now. Itty bitty whiny baby gloves. Tiny -'

Jack. Please, this is me playing my Just One Time card, because JUST, for this ONE TIME -- stop.

[ The hologram opens his mouth for further needling, but pauses before rolling his shoulders back. ]

'-- consider the card spent.'

[phaseshifter]

Ergh, I regret this already.

[ NO SHE DOESN'T. MUCH. ]

It won't be for much longer, anyway. We're only a few days apart. And you have Beckett until then! Luckyyyy.

[headjacked]

'Oh, right, Beckyboo, the guy who can drop to bloodthirsty maniac on a dime. Super safe, shmookems.'

Once we're with you, I -- we'll stay together, won't we? 'Til the end.

[ A cautious, sideways glance that Jack can feel, and feeds a smile on his little face. ]

[phaseshifter]

[ Angel also gives Jack a sideways glance. A considerably angrier one. Shut up, old man!!!! ]

Dude, of course we will. Not like anything but death or supernatural intervention has separated us before.
