[He feels bad when he sees her, he really does. It's so easy to forget that she's still just a kid, for all her craftiness and intelligence. Maybe, he thinks, it would have been better to let her find out from the obituary after all, or to have had Royce call her after he was already dead.

But there's no going back now. He turns the video on too, keeping it centered on his face so that she can't see the wound or the blood. Fiona can be seen, down on the floor with him and pressed very close, and the edge of Royce's cloak whips into view at one point because he's also hovering nearby. Alfie is pale and ill-looking, and is probably close to going into shock at this point, but he still manages to copy Kesara's gesture.]


It's an awful world we've found ourselves in, bubbeleh. But you'll be all right.

[He doesn't mean it like a platitude, and he doesn't say it like one. He has every faith in Kesara's ability to survive even the most difficult things.]

No, I don't think so. I don't think that's gonna happen.

You're going to find your friend Zach, yeah? And then what are you gonna do?

[Tell him about all your grand plans and adventures, Kesara.]

Good. Good, you do that. Brilliant idea. If I'm back, if I'm alive, you send me your results.

[He nods, a small movement, and closes his eyes for a moment. He shifts a little, and mutters a quiet apology to Fiona for jostling her leg - Bumping you a bit, krasivaya zhenshchina. The Russian: "beautiful woman".]

Do you speak Russian?

[He shouldn't be surprised. She's a remarkable kid - a remarkable person.]

And no, we're not. No.

Oh, she is beautiful.

[He starts slipping back into Russian here - not to tease Fiona, or to keep things from her, but because he's tickled pink that clever little Kesara can understand it.]

And good to have here with me, now.

I'll take a story. Yes.


[Listening is easier than talking.]
devoutish: (let's agree to disagree)

[Alfie doesn't laugh, but he does smile, just a little. He knots his fingers into the fabric of Fiona's sleeve, and whispers:]

Good girl, Kesara.
devoutish: (this is my last year of trying)

[personal profile] devoutish 2016-09-26 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Dying is inevitable now. He knows it. But the fighting instinct in him still wants to live for as long as he can - despite the terrible pain, despite the inevitable end.]
