The Stories We Keep Secret
Hunter has received a few phone calls after completing his memorial to Kendra, and getting the opportunity to display the artwork in his dimension. His goal of finding the other people who might have had Kendra affect their lives had been successful. And now he is ready to go speak to them personally.
But first, he didn't want to go alone. And at the same time, he didn't want those he was meeting to know that he didn't trust them. So he called Faris to join him in the adventure. Hopefully he would be able to put more of Kendra's memory to peace by doing this.

"We have to find a way to destroy it." He doesn't want anyone else to go through what he just went through.
"May I?" April holds out her hands, for the globe.

"If Austin did that to me... he might do that to others."

"Not tonight." April tells him, firmly. "You need to rest."

April places her hand on his shoulder for a moment. She closes her eyes. And tilts her head, as if listening to something.
"No. You have no worries about that for a couple of months. He is still not aware of his abilities or their capabilities. He has no idea that he was able to affect you at all..." She opens her eyes. "But he would know, if you went after him too soon."

April stands, checking her voices one more time. "I am done here."

"It is a reassuring thought to know that such people will be around, when my children are ready to seek help in the Nexus."
no subject
Faris bows his head slightly in farewell. "Your assistance is greatly appreciated."
no subject
Hunter smiles slightly from his position on the couch. "Any volunteers to help me get to bed?"
no subject
Faris is quick to put himself under Hunter's other hand, letting the man lean on his back again.
no subject
It is also a relief to know that being tired right now feels more natural, not like the pure exhaustion he had felt before.
no subject
And Faris, of course, still freshly remembers how quickly Hunter's condition deteriorated when they were on their journey, so he's subconsciously trying to reassure himself that it won't happen again.
Jim follows as the others help Hunter to the bedroom, smiling a little at Hunter's remark. "There's nothing too exciting, mostly just me going a bit overboard at the end of finals." Or on his birthdays, but those were not the kind of drinking that makes for an amusing story.

"Celebrating the end of school. I remember doing that myself."
no subject
"Hey, I managed," Jim protests, though there's no heat in it. Clearly, this is familiar ground between them.
"Yeah, because you had a doctor for a roommate."

Faris had been about to offer, himself, but decides to wait for the answer before speaking up.

"Yeah, I know," Jim says, smiling a little at his friend. "Thanks, Bones."
The doctor leaves, and now there are only the three of them. Faris bows his head slightly. "If you would have me, I would stay also. I am also in need of a rest."
no subject
"In a fashion, you both have been closer to me, than anyone else." He is referring to their experience inside the mental representation of his mind.
no subject
Jim is already in fairly comfortable clothes for lounging around, but he does take the time to toe off his boots before getting into the bed next to Hunter. "How much do you remember?"
no subject
"I am not sure how much of it was real..." It all happened in his head, after all. "I remember the weight of the doubts in my mind. Casting all these doubts on my emotions..."
"And then your voices... reminding me of what was real."
