[ Daryl nods, but the movement is tight. He lets it sit and tries to accept that the darkest things he's ever done are the sort of things that are still forgivable here. It isn't exactly a reassuring thought.
But if death isn't the consequence it used to be, why should that be out of the question? He wouldn't wish resurrection on anyone but he's here to listen to Felipe's apology. If they're trapped, at least this one thing is given to them. ]
I couldn't accept that we're... stuck. But we are.
[ He reaches up and clasps Felipe's hand on his shoulder, squeezing it for a moment. For once, the last thing he'll be able to stand in the coming days is being alone. ]
[ Felipe makes a small noise in agreement. there's no way out of here, at least not for now, but maybe there are worse places one could find themselves in. ]
Are you okay?
[ he finally draws the hand back to himself, but pauses to watch Daryl. the resurrection process raises some questions, but he's not sure if he's curious enough to learn about it. best to go before he finds his mouth moving on its own as it usually does. ]
I should return to Mavis. I don't want her to be alone. You can come too, if you like.
[ It's the only response he's had to give that question for over a decade. He's going to be okay, eventually, because he has to be. That's all there is to surviving. ]
Nah. [ He answers quickly though, shakes his head. ] She shouldn't have to look at me right now. Not for a while.
[ Felipe understands. he wishes that he didn't, but it is what it is. he nods and gets up, holding his side because the wound started throbbing painfully again. ]
Try not to fall off the roof.
[ he jokes, but the look he gives Daryl is dead serious. ]

Hey, you couldn't have stopped us from coming.
[ he wasn't even invited, remember? Felipe reaches to touch his shoulder gently. ]
Considering everything... I think we're even.

[ Not after what he'd done to her. ]
Go keep her company for me.
