What happened to you?

(Takes a jagged breath.) Didn't do what he said.

[Psyche leans down and brushes his hair away from his face.]

I can take you somewhere to rest if you like?

He'll get mad if I leave. (More so than he already was.)

He cannot find you if you're with me.

Promise? (He winced as he tried to move his arm to push himself up.)

I promise. [She smiles sweetly and lifts him onto his feet - almost as if he weighs nothing.]

(He tried not to but he cried out in pain. Moving wasn't fun at the moment.)

[Psyche has forgotten mortal pains and woes, though she doesn't mean him ill. With a wave of her hand, they are transported to the palace she shares with Eros.]

(Sam's head against her shoulder.) Where are we?

In my palace! Eros made it for me. [She wraps an arm around him, steadying him.] You should feel much better here.

The greek god? (He couldn't tell if Rick had killed him and this was heaven.)

That's right! [It's...almost heaven?] I'm Psyche.

I.. I didn't think they really existed.

[The door to their apartment had been open, getting out her gun Lyla made her way in, swallowing as she saw the blood stain up against the wall, noticing Sam's battered state she ran over to him, bending down to wipe the hair out of his eyes.] Hey...

Lyla?

Honey, what the fuck happened? [Placing her gun back into her pants, she felt his forehead, reaching over to grab the blanket to warm him.] I need you to tell me.

I.. I covered for a girl. She didn't come back....

Rick? That damn bastard. [Getting up she ran into the bathroom, gathering as many supplies as Lyla can manage on her own.] Keep talking to me, sweetheart.

I could have taken him.. (He coughs, whimpering in pain as his body was forced to move.).. the pipe, not so much.

Baby, I'm so sorry. [Dabbing some peroxide onto a cotton bud, she placed it softly on his forehead, wiping at the gash on his forehead.] This is gonna sting a little.

(He winced, trying to move his head away from her touch. He was the worst patient someone can could ask for.)

I know it hurts but we've got to make sure they don't get infected. [Takes off a little pressure as she moves for the next one.]

(He nodded lightly.) Okay.
