Eyes flickered back and forth from the monitor and the visible rise and fall of Alyssa's body. Much different and comforting from the sporadic imagery of her pale body against the cold aluminum table of a morgue that he had inside of the ambulance. It had happened before, with one KIA on a mission - but Karl had not tried to blow up a town because of a single loss.
His arms were folded loosely against his arm as his eyes watched the stat monitor, her heartbeat both felt and seen by him.
For now, it seemed even peaceful, save for the slight stiffening of his partner's body that signaled she wasn't exactly as deep into REM and meds that she would appear to be at first glance.
It didn't matter if she wouldn't talk to him - he would be here, regardless.
