Room 55

[gris_bug_man]

Grissom manages to get the door open without dropping Jack. Once inside, he lays him down on the bed as carefully as he can, before leaving briefly.

He returns with a pitcher of iced water and some light chicken broth.

Feeling somewhat helpless, he looks at his lover. "Did you overdo it today?" he wonders out loud.

". . . dinosaurs . . ." Jack manages to say eventually.


[ooc: sorry, got offline for a while and dozed off.]

[gris_bug_man]

[ooc: Not a problem. I thought they'd be more comfortable upstairs anyway. :)]

"You met them again?" He keeps his voice low, but relief can be plainly heard.

[jack_inthegreen]

"Little one. Attacked. Sharptooths." His hand flails for Gil's.

[gris_bug_man]

His hand is captured and held between both of Gil's. "God--is the little one all right?"

[jack_inthegreen]

Jack nods, eyes finally opening a bit. "Had to become Herne to protect him."

[gris_bug_man]

"No wonder you're exhausted," he sighs, reaching over him to get one of the glasses of water.

He helps him sit up and sip carefully.

[jack_inthegreen]

Jack sits up and sips, and then leans his head against Gil's shoulder. "This helps," he says quietly.

[gris_bug_man]

After setting the glass back down, he runs a hand through Jack's hair. "I'm glad."

[jack_inthegreen]

Jack smiles, looking at him, and then makes a "come here" gesture with his chin. "You're too far away."

[gris_bug_man]

"A terrible oversight on my part." His shoes are kicked off and he lays next to him.

Concern is still on his face, but it is fading slowly.

[jack_inthegreen]

Jack chuckles and settles himself against Gil. "I haven't been accosted by your friend yet. Catherine, yes?"

[gris_bug_man]

"Sooner or later, it will happen," he chuckles. "Catherine is remarkably persistent in such matters. I believe she had to leave to tend to her daughter, though."

[jack_inthegreen]

"Oh, a daughter," Jack murmurs. "Good. That's good." He yawns. "Give me ten minutes or so and then I'll be more interesting."

[gris_bug_man]

"Yes, she has a daughter named Lindsey. Who is now twelve and naturally driving her mother crazy." He smiles affectionatly. "She is my goddaughter."

"Or perhaps you should sleep? I'll be here when you wake up." Sleep is sounding good to him as well.

[jack_inthegreen]

"That's an interesting age." He yawns again. "Just a little sleep. I rarely need to but it would be good . . ."

[gris_bug_man]

He leans over, kissing him gently. "Sleep, Jack. I need to as well."

He pulls the covers over them and turns off the lights.

[ooc: Wrap there? Once again, they're in that too-cute-to-disturb stage. :)]

[jack_inthegreen]

[ooc: yes :). Eeee. ded of cute.]
