They are both whole, they are both young, and alive. And a tear may fall-just one- for Gilliam who isn't here, Grey can run his hands down Rat's front, the body much like his own.

Under his many layers, Rat is lean and corded. He has eaten better than Grey probably has, but not by much and not in excess. His ribs are countable under Grey's fingers, his muscles hard and taut, making the soft scars on his back even more apparent.

This close, he can sense the warm water that slides down Grey's cheek. Rat raises a hand to cradle his jaw, eyes raised in question.
