"I don't think he was anywhere near the fire. And- wait, what do you mean, he's dead? I just saw him."

"I don't know," Erik said, "but Erik cannot kill him..."
How like that bastard to get through the fire while Erik killed himself saving Pina, only to get the girl in the end. If Erik could walk, he'd have gone and killed him straightaway. As it was...
He winced again, his vision clouding.
"If Erik dies," he said, "tell his children... he loves them."

"I think they know you do," Megan said, smiling at him sadly.
One of them in a very different way than the other, but still.
"But yes, I'll tell them."

((I can't believe she knows about that and is still touching him.))
What would happen to them? To Julian? Unlike Pina, Julian needed him. He coughed, his lungs seared by the smoke, and gasped in pain.
"Hurts too much," he mumbled. He opened his eyes wider to seek Megan. "Will you watch, while Erik sleeps. If he dies, I should like someone to know right away. And... take care of things."

((To be honest, she still doesn't think of Julian as Erik's son.))

"I will. And Erik... if you need anything... You can stay with James and Pina and me."

That roused him a bit. He blinked at her uncertainly.
"I don't understand," he said flatly.

"I- we have enough money to make sure you're taken care of."

"Erik doesn't want your money," *he would have spat, if he'd had any saliva.* "Or your pity."

***AS MEGAN***
"If I hadn't taken Pina away, you wouldn't be in the state you are now!"

Was she being reasonable? She was right. Come to think of it, everything would have been fine if she hadn't done that.
"That's certainly true," he grumbled. "I'll blame you, then. That should make things easier."

"Then if you're blaming me, you'll understand that it's clearly my responsibility to take care of you now."

Erik watched her as suspiciously as he could.
"What's the catch?"

"You don't mean anything to me," she said, perhaps a bit viciously, perhaps trying to remind herself."But Pina needs you."

It stung, a little, but only by reflex.
"Since when?" he demanded. "She has you--now she has that Richard bastard. For whatever that's worth, and however long it lasts. You never should have named her that."
