Back from the Dead

Who: Remy, Kurt, and open.
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: On the Twin Roses.
When: Backdated to 9th October.

[Several weeks after the loss of the planet, both Remy and Kurt seem fit enough to finally head back to the Twin Roses. Or at least fit enough to roll themselves out of the beds they had been left in to wake up and recover from their not-so-near death experience.]

‘nd I thought the day after Mardi Gras was bad. Merde, remind me never to be down on an explodin’ planet again, feel like ‘ve been stuck in a tumble drier filled of swamp water ‘nd set spinnin’ for two weeks on end.

Lebeau, if you don’t stop complaining I’m going to put you back on that planet. Gott, I haven’t felt this horrible since I was a child. [Kurt paused, raising a hand to shove his shoulder-length hair out of his eyes] Und my hair is in my fucking face. [He’s going to pretend that didn’t sound at all like a pathetic whine.]

Thought that kinda comes with the whole fur thing, ya know, hair in the face. [Look at him, he’s just so funny, isn’t it? Though they had to come back to reality eventually, as much fun as it was to avoid it and just muck around.] How angry ya think Kitty will be at us? Though, in my defense, I had been usin’ ya as the messenger, so ya the one who failed to tell her, not me.

[Hilarious, and Kurt is about to tell him in no minced words just how well his humor is going over when the other man mentions Kitty. What spirit Kurt has deflates, his tail drooping far enough to drag on the ground.] I doubt you’ll have any worries about her wrath once she sees me.

Ahh, [Remy reached out to pat a hand against Kurt’s shoulder, maybe a bad thing at the sudden movement didn’t help anything, making him winch before he dropped his hand again.] We’ll face her together, after all, we stuck in this together, hein? Seems only right with ya bein’ an idiot ‘nd coming back for me.

[A faint smile twitches at the corners of his mouth, even as he very carefully shakes his head.] Don't make promises, Lebeau. You might want to kill me too when this is over.

Though, [Remy started as he moved to pull out his comm, activating it so he could say the next part into it as well as saying it to Kurt. Kurt forced himself to straighten, crossing his arms over a chest that's broader than its been in years.] Guess while we at it it be good to let everyone know we’re, ya know, back alive? Which be a good thing, don’t recommend the dyin’ but glad to be brought back. I just may be spendin’ the next week or two in bed still. Donno what they do to ya while ya out, but merde if it ain’t a number on ya.

I have a few theories.

[To Kurt.] Guessin’ we ain’t really goin’ to get ‘ny sympathy over it though, considerin’ what we did.

At this point I'd settle for the mercy of a swift death. [Kurt glances toward the comm, giving a good shot of his face; lean, but noticeably younger by the better part of a decade. His hair is longer too, falling around his shoulders.] Any takers?


[Feel free to tag either of the boys, or both.]

Do you mean that, or are you just saying it? Because if you mean it, I'd like that as well. [His tone is mild, little more than simple curiosity without judgement. There was once a time when he'd have scorned a man for being unable to handle what he considered the harsh reality of life (not that long ago, actually), but the fleet has been peaceful enough to allow a kinder side to slowly emerge.

His lips twitch in what looks to be intended as a smile.]
I am unwell. I haven't been this sick since I--I've already said, haven't I?

I never make insincere offers, mein freund. [There comes a time when life becomes too much and the only options are working issues out or breaking. That time hasn't come for Pavel at home--pride, pressure to prove that he's tough enough to be where he is, and cultural stoicism get in the way--but problems accumulate too quickly here and there's no one to impress by holding it together (besides Kirk, and he tends to seem more concerned than impressed).]

You have. [God, Kurt, go lay down before he starts pitying you in earnest.] Rest please. Call if there is anything that you need... although I imagine that there are other people who also want to help you.

[Like Kitty. He doesn't think that she can stay pissed off at a formerly-dead friend very long.]

[Hearing his native tongue from Chekov's mouth gets Kurt to crack a true smile, albeit weak and crooked.] Then I look forward to giving you reason to drink more. Even the good times make people so sad.

[He trails off, thinking of Apollo's face when he'd explained chemical pie and why they'd had to make a substitute for the apple pie his nephew had wanted for his birthday. His brief reverie is interrupted by the other man imploring him to rest.] Help me into the grave for scaring them, more like. [Regardless he sighs, nodding briefly.] I'll call if I need anything.

[That's as good a smile as any.] If you bring the sad memories, I will bring the drinks.

You did die. That's often the cause of some concern. [He's sure they all mean well.] Thank you, Kurt.
