[The anger in his voice becomes tinged with dark bitterness.] Yeah, I know what that's like. [Watching someone he cared about die and the helplessness of that.]
I was already alive again before you even knew I was dead. [Which should lessen any traumatic impact, in his less-than-sensitive opinion.]
[This time, the connection ends completely. She turns her communicator off but she can still hear that so clear in her head it almost doesn't matter. Before you even knew I was dead has her bursting into tears the second she knows he won't hear it and she doesn't contact him again until she's stopped.
She also only gives him a text that comes in around ten minutes later.]
[He knew when the connection went dead that he'd managed to say something stupid again. He hadn't been trying to upset her, more just be logical. Not that women usually appreciated that (him having some experience saying stupid things to them).
He doesn't try to reconnect, just lying back with his eyes closed, the comm device still in his hand when the text comes through. After which he just stares at the words for a while, looking fairly unhappy himself.]
