[both of them? that's an interesting development.]
Uhhh... yeah. I had a... disagreement with someone from my world and that's how it ended, Niko was lost to the... thing. That appeared recently. I didn't realise you two were hangin' out, I... uh. Don't interrupt that for me.
Holy shit, [ Apollo breathes out, feeling faintly sick - that monster was disgusting. Those mouths. Dying at its hands can't have been pretty, and Niko was only a kid -- ]
Will he... people come back, right?
[ Apollo isn't very good at this 'imports returning from the dead thing'! This is his first time! He still feels very new at this!!! ]
Oh God, don't apologise. [ If Apollo's words are muffled it's because he's got a hand on his face, quietly despairing. ] This must be fucking awful for you.
That didn't stop you from pulling me out of a funk when Andrew left. You knew damn well I wanted to be left alone, but you wouldn't--because you knew I wasn't in a good place.
[Maybe he shouldn't be saying this in front of Apollo, but Archie needs the sense smacked into him more than M wants to avoid the potential awkward this conversation will bring with his partner later.]
Archie, when you care about other people as much as you do, you really ought to expect that to turn back around on you.
[ LOOK as long as he wasn't pulling M out of his funk by his dick then it's very much okay ]
Do you want to come over? We're just watching crappy reality shows, but it's mindless and distracting...
[ Things Apollo very pointedly isn't offering by way of help: booze and violence. Because he gets the distinct feeling that Archie's probably taken part in wayyyyyy too much of both lately. ]
[he's... noooot entirely comfortable with that offer, but... there's a part of him that really, really want the company, no matter how he feels right now.]

Yeah.
[that's all he says. he won't say how he knows this, because it's a very unpleasant affair.]
no subject
[ For a given value of fine, probably ]
no subject
[He wants to say that he came back twice, but he knows damn well how he died both of those times, and would rather not bring it up right now.]
Give it a few more days, Archie.

Just... it'll work out. I think. Don't worry about me.
