In complete and awkward silence, they shuffled their way down the corridor to their respective suite. Sighing, Sid edged open the door with the heel of his foot and admitted themselves to the sight of an unconscious Christian, sprawled across a dark pool of his own blood.
"Still dead, I see."

She was silent during the walk, feeling too tired to do much of anything other than shuffle along. Once they reached the room, she stiffened at the sight of Christian lying on the floor, and quickly averted her eyes as she scuttled off to one side.
She couldn't look. She didn't want to look. If she did, she'd start to cry.

Because this is the 'Verse, Christian was, however--and, probably, very much to Sid's disappointment--still quite alive, and he uttered a single quiet and drawn-out groan from the back of his throat as if in confirmation of this fact.

Sid's expression fell.
"What the fu--are you kidding me? Why don't you ever die?"

At that, Anastasia spun in place, her expression one of complete shock. She hadn't even dared to hope for...
Forgetting about Sid, she practically flew over to Christian's prone form, falling to her knees beside as she hesitantly rested a hand on his shoulder.
"Christian! Christian, can you...? Are you...?"

It was with obvious great effort that Christian managed to pry his eyes open, but when he did, he managed a slight beam and gazed adoringly upon Anastasia's hovering face.
"Am I...in heaven..." he wheezed quietly.

She ignored Sid.
"Oh, thank God." She cried, smoothing Christian's hair out of his face.
"I thought...I thought..."

"I never die! I am immortal! MUAHAHAHA! You can't...kill me...that easily..." he laughed hoarsely, extending a hand to brush back a lock of hair that had fallen in Anastasia's face. "Are you okay?"

"And that's a sad thing, that."
Sid gave a dramatic roll of the eyes and seated himself on the edge of the bed.

She wanted to throw her arms around him and give him a huge hug, but she didn't know how hurt he was and didn't want to aggravate anything.
"I'm all right. I was mostly hysterical because...because of what happened to you...and even though he kept threatening things nothing ever happened and we wound up back here."
Christian's being all right had done a lot to help lift her spirits, and it showed.

"Even so...he certainly likes to play things...close to the chest..."
He managed to get himself into a semi-sitting position, breathing heavily with the effort, and gaped at the wound in his chest.
"I think we...ought to do something...about this."
A wave of dizziness overtook him, and he shut his eyes and leaned his head against the leg of the bed.

"Wha--"
Sid angled his head towards the two and thrust a finger at himself.
"Are you questioning my mad shooting skills, people? Trust me, I'm a man of my word. Christopher, I just want you to know that if I'd wanted your lady dead, I'd have done it a long time ago--and, even then, mere empty threats seem to work on her pretty well."

She spared only a glare over her shoulder at Sid when Christian fell unconscious again.
"No, no, you hold on..."
Single-mindedly, she strode across the room, aiming for the telephone.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa--let's not rush into things here."
Sid crossed the length of the room in a few strides and was at Anastasia's side, slamming the telephone back in its receiver.
