[Text/Action for April and anyone else who wants it]

The assumption that the dead return after one week is incorrect. I was indisposed for nearly two weeks, with no sign as to why this was any different from other cases.

By the way, April, I am typing this from the hotel lobby. I suspected finding me at our door would be a worse shock.

[April had just stared in shock at the text for a few seconds, before she forces her brain to text back a reply.]

[It doesn't take her long to make her way down and soon there is one slightly frazzled looking redhead making her way into the lobby.]

[Ledah seems much calmer, and raises a hand in greeting.]

It's good to see you safe.

[There's still a faint look of shock on her face and she opens her mouth to say something, before she closes it again. There were a few things she wanted to say, but she had no idea what to say first.

So, she walks up to Ledah and wraps her arms around him in a hug instead.]

[Ledah had a vague understanding that she needed to do this. He pats her on the shoulder gently, not pushing her away.]

[She doesn't pull away just yet, for now just resting her forehead against his shoulder. When she finally does speak, she sounds tired but also happy and relieved.]

... I'm really glad you're back.

Thank you. I apologize for the long wait.

Don't apologize for that, it's not like you could control it. I'm just happy you're back.

[April sounds a bit more cheerful as she says that, though her tone soon turn somber.]

A-anyway, I should be the one apologizing... It's my fault that you were-[She stops in the middle of her sentence when her vision blurs over, before she tries to blink it away.]

It was the practical decision to protect you, when you would have been more useful during the later fight than I. I have no regrets about what happened.

Even if it was the practical decision, I shouldn't have let you get killed like that. I should've done something. [Her attempts to blink away the blurriness only result in tears running down her face, so she pulls away a bit to rub at her eyes with one hand, while making sure to keep her head down.]

There is nothing to pardon. On the fifteenth I was covering another's escape from the zombies during their daytime rampage.

So you were killed by one of those creatures?

'Several' is more accurate, but yes.

I am sorry I was not there to assist you.

It is impossible to be in two places at once, and I would not hold you accountable for it.

Then I shall hold myself accountable for it twice as hard.

That serves no purpose.

[Just trying to get as much hard information down about this "revival" thing as she can.]

Nearby. I don't clearly remember.

Understood. I have no reason to repeat it.

Noggin?

I am unaffected mentally. Only a little tired.
