Re: dead guys house: des, newt, & pat
[Patrick sat in a chair adjacent to Destiny's and he turned his chair slightly to face hers. A glance up at the stairs was the only immediate indication that he had registered her question about Newt knowing how to fix the dead man. He was not certain what the correct answer was, man, because Newt was not going to be able to raise the dead man. Patrick was certain there were ways of accomplishing this (after all, he was, in fact, a dead dude), but he did not believe any of these methods were going to be employed in this house on this day.
He had (as Newt had) noticing the bruising, and he looked up at the ceiling again, then at the staircase, as if he was awaiting Newt's return before speaking. Ultimately, he did find his voice.] He will make sure everything is all right. [Patrick was absolutely certain he was not a 'bury the body' type of guy, but he was at a loss as to the alternative.] What do you remember, Des? [His gaze lighted on the bruises again.] Those are not fresh. Do you remember how you acquired them? [Self-defense would be much easier for Patrick's knight in shining armor complex to handle.] Did the man harm you?
