[He is hurting. And it is a bitch to admit it, but he swallows. Tony's right, and what's more, Tony's being a hell of a rock in this situation when L desperately needs one to cling to.]
Yeah, you're right. I'll pull it together. We're back to this sink or swim business, and I want to swim.
[Tony would like to think he knows L pretty well at this point, and he can tell when he's hurting. But this? Hell, someone would have to be a machine to not be given everything that's happened.
But he also knows L will come through, he just needs a hand every now and then.]
I know you will. Just remember, brother, we're in this together alright? You call me if you need anything I don't care how stupid you think it is. Through thick and thin, right?
[What else is there to say? It's tough. Right now all he wants in the world is for that incredible feeling to come back and stay, living like a warm, glowing light in his bony chest.
When he does think of something, though, it is a comfort to know that someone will be there to at least light a candle in the cold dark he's been left with.]
Alright. Stay in touch. I'm going to try to catch a nap before all hell breaks loose in the meantime.
[He needs some rest every now and then. Not that he gets nearly enough these days.
But no, L won't be left to the cold all alone. Tony will light a fire for him, or a candle to guide the way. No one can say he isn't reliable at the very least.]
