[The details are lost on Tony, but he knows it has to be a struggle for so many reasons. Perhaps later, like so many other things, they'll examine it and sort it out, but not now while it's raw and fresh and hurting.
Later when the scars have had time to cover the wounds.]
I know you're pissed, and I can't blame you for it in the least. But Try to keep a cool head over this, alright? Don't do something you're going to regret later.
I think if anything, I'll regret not doing anything. I feel like I need to see him die before I'll feel anything like peace. I've never been angry like this before.
I understand, trust me man I know, but let's take it one step at a time. Alright? Besides, who even knows where the idiot's run off to?
[He'd tell L to relax but that probably wouldn't help right now. He's worried, very worried, about what L might do right now. What can he do to stop it though? ...Can he even really blame him if he goes through with it?
Understanding is the best gift you could give me right now. I need to remember that. I need to be grateful, and I'm sorry if I sound like I am less than.
[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.]
