[Sam is still bloody and bruised from his fight with the monsters. Gene Hunt's camel hide coat is in his arms, pressed close to his chest.]

Lapis, Lazuli. You said you sold anything. I have something I want to buy.

[trying not to cry for the sake of the little girl; he tries a smile] It's not a very nice flat, Fumie.

[not so stupid as to miss someone holding back tears and thus grabs his hand] That's fine! I've probably seen worse! O-Or...or maybe it's nice to me! I'm still staying with you.

[squeezes her hand gently, clinging to the coat with his other arm] Thank you.

[smiles and has to be the adult here!] No need to. W-we might as well call it a night. We can work more after we sleep.

[didorothy]

[smiles] I'll make you dinner. Do you like Italian?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Italian? I haven't had it very much. But I'll try it!

[didorothy]

[bigger smile!] Great!

[smiles and nods, still holding his hand] Right, so you can lead the way, Sam.

[still clinging to Fumie and the coat] Right. [takes her away to his flat where he will feed her, like a good mommy whose DCI just died]
