"I don't want to ask the City for anything." It wasn't defiance or childishness in his tone, but anger. Eric was still upset about what had been done to Fangtasia. He didn't trust the City to give him anything he wanted, and he didn't trust that if his wishes were answered, that it would be done in a way that he wanted it to be.
Logan might have two heads if the City gave him back.
"It's like losing him to the true death." Eric's eyes didn't leave the fire. "He's that completely gone to me. I feel his loss in a way that I don't know how to explain. It's not as bad as it would be if this were Pam. Not nearly. But it's still a loss."
