[At first he cringes like a wounded animal, curling his bruised fingers into a fist, bracing himself for a blow that never comes.
It is strange to be acknowledged by a person he could easily say he hated with almost every fiber of his being, although the past few weeks have been humbling on both their parts, to say the least. Achilles is not a houseguest he would have easily welcomed upon any circumstance, but this was partly his responsibility, seeing as both he and Jin had found the body in the first place. They are still teammates after all, and that takes precedence over any differences that they may possess individually.
This mission has been a relatively miserable one, and although he knows he has been slightly more useful here than in Perdition's Rest, helplessness has still been eating away at him. He is not a particularly good law student, that much he knows, and while he has practiced and trained harder than ever before, he is still nowhere near as competent of a fighter as so many of the others around him.
But he is kind, he is compassionate, for all his wretchedness... And it is strange to hear that it is enough.]
I'm sorry.
[For more than just Patroclus' death.]
That K-dizzle couldn't bring him back.
I really thought that shadow mumbo jumbo was gonna work.
