Jay sits down on the bench outside the door and makes himself comfortable, holding his wrist out to Eric. "Take as much as you can without dropping me."

Comments

"I'm fine." Jay reassures softly, his voice steadier than even he expected.

He tangles his fingers in Eric's for a moment and squeezes. "Go. Go find Pam and get her home safe."

Eric gets up from the bench and gives Jay a small nod.
Then he picks the bag up again and heads back inside.

Not saying anything.

He can't talk about this. About any of this.

And Jay doesn't expect him to. Not yet anyway. When Pam is safe (which he has every faith she will be) Jay might try talking to Eric. Or at least finding a way to help him blow off steam but for now, he just watches Eric go with an answering nod.

And then slides down to lay on the bench. In a couple of minutes he'll get up, maybe even see if he can borrow a drip from the infirmary without anyone noticing causing a fuss and put himself to bed.
