He felt exhausted -- and he probably looked it as well. River had come to him once or twice and tried to demand him to rest; they didn’t know how long it would take Jamie to wake up -- but, he had waved her off several times mutely. He felt GUILTY, even if he knew logically there was no blame on his shoulders. He hadn’t been with Jamie when it happened, and he hadn’t even known about it until it was too late. There was a sharp twist in his gut whenever he thought about it ; a nausea that made him feel ill --... A thumb ran across the silver of one Jamie’s aged dogtags from the Brotherhood ; merely something to keep him busy -- something to keep his hands occupied in the hours that drug on into the night ; into the early morning. Until his eyelids were burning and his body was heavy with weariness. He felt like drifting -- he felt like giving in -- until there was a shift, a stir, from the bed and his eyes were snapping up ; aware and awake once again, “Jamie?”
