"What is she right about this time?" Aster asked, cracking an eye open.
"You need to be more careful. Even if you hate to admit it, you aren't invincable and I don't want to lose you," Jack said, redressing the wound.
Aster sighed and sat up, facing Jack. "I'm not going anywhere Jack. I told Sophie and I'm telling you, ya ain't getting rid of me that easy," he said, wrapping his arms around Jack's waist.
Jack burried his face in the fur on the top of Aster's head. "I was so scared when I saw you go down. I...I thought you were infected, or...or dead and I was terrfied," Jack whispered.
Aster pulled Jack down into his lap. "Hey, I'm here. Pitch is gone. Everything will be fine."
"You promise?" Jack asked, looking up at Aster with tear-filled eyes.
"I promise Frostbite," Aster said, giving Jack a gentle kiss.
