( Dean doesn't know what to say, never really does. He does pep talks, not -

He's done this before. Cassian was a friend. Mild flirtation thanks to a fucked parlor game. But what do you say to someone you were locked in a cabin with over a weekend? )

Hey. Uh, I don't even know why I'm leaving this. You'll be back in some form or another within the week. Heard you won't be yourself, at first. Haven't seen it firsthand, yet. Not going to browbeat you for going after him. Or, not making it. I'd have done the same thing if I'd been awake. Hell, I would've tag-teamed and that sonnuvabitch would have wished...

Hope there's real rest on the other side. See you when you get back. I owe ya... I don't know. Something. Call it an IOU.

( He cuts off the call. )

[if there'd been rest, it hadn't been meaningful; he's never been more tired than he has been in the two days since he'd come back. but he doesn't intend to say that — or much of anything to this.

in the end, the message that comes is just:]

Make me a drink after next shift. We'll call it even.

[maybe then, he'll have more.]

It'll be strong.

Welcome back to the land of the living.

[aldhani]

The stronger the better.

Thanks. For that and for coming by.

[to see max, while he was gone. he thinks dean will know what he's talking about without having to actually say it.]

Least I could do.
