[He might not be good at this, but Ash is here and that's enough for Pat.
He does calm down enough after a while that while he doesn't lift his head from Ash's shoulder, when his shoulders start shaking again, it's at least from a weak laugh rather than a sob.]
Those two chucklefucks, I guess! We were on the phone while I was headin' to get you and the conversation went from this bullshit to camping and then knife boxes!
[A beat.]
Alright, so all our conversations go places but still.
Yeah, we might as well. We'll figure more out tomorrow beyond those. Admittedly, I was more thinking where to go in terms of preparations beforehand when I asked.
Right. It's probably a safe bet they're probably not too far.
[...]
Actually, come to think of it, I want to hit up the knife shop on Shopping Street, too. I'd rather go into this with some weapon I have a reasonable idea of how to use.

Ash, what the fuck is wrong with America?
[Fuck, he's going to start crying again, but this time from laughing.]
no subject
[But hey, it got Pat to stop crying (from distress, anyway) so worth it.]

Who needs that many knives?!

[... Hopefully Ash doesn't mind too much if Pat just... stays like this. He needs the hug still and this is nice.
And at least this has put him in a better mood--enough of one that he can actually be productive.]
Right, so, what places do we absolutely need to hit up tomorrow morning?

[He isn't sure he could handle being alone, honestly.]
no subject
[Even beyond the fact that he can't stand being alone...]
I wouldn't have wanted you to be alone.
no subject
[Would he?]

[That is probably a lie.]
no subject
[As he puts his head back down. He's not burying his face in Ash's shoulder this time, though, just letting his head rest there.]
no subject
[Ash will just. Drop his head on top of Pat's for now. He's tired.]
You want the bed or the couch? I'm sleepin' in the driver's seat.

Food'll probably be here soon.
[He's not moving, though.]

[Yeah, him either.]

I'm giving Jusis a piece of my mind when we get him out of there.
