Okay. That's good. [She takes a deep breath, a little bit relieved. Dealing with it at all is bad enough, dealing without pain medication is a lot worse.] Thank you. For taking care of him, and for letting me know. [Her voice wobbles a little, tearing up a little bit again despite what she'd said before.]

You don’t have to thank me, I’m just…I wouldn’t be anywhere else. [Guilt still swirls in his gut, making him feel sick. This is the least he can do after everything. He wouldn’t want it any other way.]

I hate this. [He admits quietly.] He didn’t deserve this. He’s so good. And so beautiful. He shouldn’t have to deal with this. [Not after everything he’s been through and everything he’s overcome. He knows Isaac is strong, but god, he wishes he didn’t have to show his strength quite so much. He deserves a lifetime of happiness after the life he’s already had, not more painful bullshit.]

I know you wouldn't. But I'm really glad you can be there if I can't. [Not that she'd be stopping Dagny if she was there. They're important to each other, she's not going to get in the way of that. But having someone she trusts with her brother there is about the only reason she doesn't feel the need to hop on a plane right this second, and fuck what disappearing like that might do to her life.]

I know. [She's not sure if Dagny realizes he also wouldn't deserve to deal with it, but it doesn't seem like a good moment to go prodding into his psyche. Too much going on right now.] Me too. But he can handle it. It'll be okay. It has to be.
