[action/text] the dead welcome him with open arms

[He's in the orchard when his Shadow appears. He tried to fight it at first and almost broke his own jaw when his hammer bounced off the Shadow's head. After a few more tries and some of the Shadow's yammering, he figured out what was going on. And tried to endure it while he gathered apples.]

Y'know you've thought 'bout it over an' over. "Why're you alive?" What makes you so damn special?

Shuddup.

All 'f 'em died 'cept you. They's nothin' special 'bout ya. Ya were lucky. Ya feel lucky, Kid?

I ain't listenin' t'this.

Why'd ya survive, Kid? Ya didn't deserve it. Ain't fair, 's it? They all died, an' a useless piece o' nothin' like you survived. Ya shoulda died with th' rest 'f 'em.

I ain't listenin'.

[Eventually he gets fed up and sends a text.]

Sorry. Force of habit. Sometimes I forget that not everyone favors gallows humor.

[The pause before a reply is entered is longer this time. Then:]

I think I need to go. I think it's getting bored, just watching me write.
throughthedark: Giles, smiling and looking almost at peace (We still make a pretty good team)

See you around. Keep in touch. And look after yourself.

[At the very least, Kid still owes him a few rounds of sparring.]
