Summary
Having her beside him soothes him somehow. He came back - strange, he knows it deep down. He finds he does not tire, he's slept for less than two hours each night since the Red Priestess brought him back, and yet he feels no weariness, no exhaustion. He finds he does not hunger more than once every other day, he finds he does not thirst. If it wasn't for the fact that he could put his hand to his chest and feel his beating heart, he'd believe himself dead still. He glances at her, knows he's going to have to explain. Mind you -
"You said you'd killed a man," he says, breaking the silence. Her lips curve in a cold, mirthless smile.
"I've killed a lot of men," she answers. "I imagine you have too."
"Strictly speaking, they weren't all men."
"No, me neither," she says.
