Heyyyyyyyy, kiddo, you've reached me. Me who is Rhys. Anyway, not sure why you're trying to get in contact with the king of the dweebs, but I'm sure you've got your reasons. Reasons you should probably re-examine. I'm just sayin'.

Last chance to back out.

No?

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

[Ah, all right then.]

Okay. Just let me know if you or anyone you're with needs help.

About my price? I couldn't tell what was and wasn't real. I thought all of this was a dream.

[That's less vague, right?]

[No. That's not something he's willing to tell to Rhys or anyone else, so he just lies.]

Major Sholto. He was my commander when I was fighting in Afghanistan.

I'm with Bucky and Undertaker at the moment is all. I'd just rather not have my conversations about this public.

[That, at least, is truer, if not entirely true.]

[He breathes a sigh of relief at Rhys just accepting that. It makes John's life easier. Mary shakes her head and sighs.

Lies don't suit you, John.]


It's fine. I deserved it the way our last conversation ended. I really am sorry about that. There's just been a bit of trouble lately about things.

[Mental health things he doesn't really want to get into.]

Shouldn't have snapped at you.

[Damn it, Rhys! John glances up and over at Mary one last time. She needs to stay quiet.

Darling, I'm not the one who decides when I talk. That's all you.

He licks his lips and steels himself to maintain focus as he flips over to video. John has really slept in several days, so he's looking haggard atop everything else. He forces a small smile for Rhys, though.]


Good to be back to myself, if not here.

[Just keep it brief. Don't give an opportunity or reason to elaborate.]

[He is sweet.

John rubs his eyes to cover for the urge to look away.]


Not much time for that, is there? I'll manage, Rhys. Is Angel doing all right? I know Claire was with you last I heard, too.

[Sweet and has a point.

The doctor frowns slightly, pointedly not looking at Mary in irritation.]


I said I'll manage. I've been a little wound, so I'll sleep tonight.

[Implying you haven't slept any other nights. Maybe not the best strategy.

This time, John can't help it. He shoots Mary an annoyed glance. He really doesn't need the running commentary.]

[Fuck.

John clears his throat.]


Leave it, Rhys. It's not important.

I don't have a psychopath digitally imprinted on my brain.

[Maybe not digitally...

Muttered under his breath:]


Not funny.

[It's not like Rhys hasn't already figured it out.]

[Trust is a two way street, Mary points out.

John bristles visibly, starting to feel boxed in.]


I told you who it was.

[It was Major Sholto, thank you.]

I'd really rather not talk about this, Rhys. It's not going to be a danger to anyone here.
