[ She really hated seeing him like this. She also hated that she had no idea what else she could do to help, other than bring him some food and make sure he ate and had some company. She wouldn't be able to stay for too long, but she at least wanted to make sure he had the means to care for himself before she left him.
And ... If she was able to do anything to help, that she could maybe leave him in a better state than he was currently. She couldn't just leave him like this. The guy helped her when she needed it most on more than one occasion. If anyone in this place had become a close friend to her, it was Carlos. She couldn't just leave someone she cared about in this kind of state.
She rested her head against his shoulder, an arm wrapping around his waist and squeezing a little. Aisha was not the most physically affectionate person, but ... She was trying. ]
It's not the first time he's experienced loss and it won't be the last. At least Jill is back home where she might be able to join up with her team again, and not dead like so many others before her.
Carlos has no idea what's in store for his future but he already knows that at least by the mid 2000's he still hadn't met up with her again.
Maybe he never would.
And maybe that really was for the best.
He leaned in to Aisha's hug with a tired sigh.]
Might need you to check up on me for a bit. Just until I get my head outta my ass...
[ She finally wrapped both arms around him, tightening the hug a little. ]
Your head was out of your ass at some point? I'd like to see that.
[ As much as it sounded mean, she knew that Carlos knew her sense of humor by now and even though she had said it without thinking, maybe some sense of normalcy would be good for him. ]
[He doesn't quite manage the usual over-dramatic lilt with his returned teasing like he normally would, but the fact that he brings it out at all is probably a good sign.]

Let me know if I can help in any other way.

Seriously, though. I'll be here.

I'm glad. Thank you.
