[ Faraday jerks forward as Alec falls back against the wall. ]
Easy, easy—
[ Under any other circumstance, Faraday would answer the observation with a grumbled, You’re goddamn right I am. No time to be smug now, though; not with Alec bleeding like a sieve. ]
You idiot. [ Similarly bitten out, his hands gripping both of Alec’s elbows to help steady him. ] You should’a let him shoot me. I’d’ve just come back, you goddamn ass.
[ Faraday forces one of Alec’s hands away from the wound, expression darkening all the more at the sight of it. He turns away again, shouting for Anne and May just as they arrive. May gasps at the sight of Alec, before a dismayed noise tears itself from her throat. She covers her mouth, staring at the body crumpled and baking under the midday sun, but Anne pushes her away. Tells her to prep a bed back in the house.
Anne tucks herself under one of Alec’s arms, and Faraday hesitates before he moves to Alec’s other side. Between the two of them, they half-walk, half-drag Alec back to the farmhouse. ]
