OOM: Late April 2012

Joshua leads Claudia into his (admittedly messy) apartment, kicking some dirty shirts out of the way. "Um, don't mind the mess. Sorry. I didn't know I was going to have company."

There's something about the room that is so typically Joshua.

Most days, Claudia would just brush that aside and change the subject. But today is not most days, and if they're ever going to stop talking at each other and start talking to each other, they have to start somewhere.
"Hey. Why's it bugging you so much?"
damncompass: concerned face (oh dear)

Joshua takes a deep breath, more than slightly shakily. Generally, he'd just brush it aside as well, however this is not that day.

"There's just... there's stuff I haven't told you about that space."

"Such as?"
Not that she's asked, but if ever there were a time... yeah.
damncompass: explaining face (serious business)

"Well, other than you screaming haunting me for ages...." He pauses, breath shaky again. "You saved me, Claudia. More than you know."
claudiometer: dubious face (:/)

Claudia winces at the first part, but she doesn't say anything. It does kind of make sense.
"How do you figure that?"
damncompass: concerned face (oh dear)

"I was fading, Claudia. I... can't really explain why..." or he has a theory, but he doesn't want to hurt her -that- much. "but I was fading away... and then the blackouts started."

"...Dude, no."
It's attach time now, right? OF COURSE RIGHT.

"I don't know how long they were, or much about them, just that it happened about ten or so times, and each time I was like 'welp, this is it'." He hugs her back. "You didn't just pull me back, Claud, you pulled me through."

"How the hell did I manage that?"
She's not expecting him to know, but the question does bear asking.

"Stubbornness? Determination? Love? Hell if I know." He's not letting go any time soon.
claudiometer: grinning, or possibly sobbing (laugh or cry?)

"Either way, at least I did pull you through."
She doesn't want to think about what would have happened if she'd tried and found nothing for her trouble.

"You did, Claudia. And no matter what, or how much we fuss, I am so glad that you did. I love you, little sis, always have, always will."

"I love you too, you know." And if pressed, she would find him again, no matter what it took.
