[Sorey remembers that, though not with the clarity Mikleo does. He remembers falling in and he remembers that incredible mural they found, but toward the end there things get hazy. He was thirsty but he'd just told himself just a little further, they're almost out, they could make it...and then his footsteps got more and more sluggish and he'd sat down suddenly, sure he couldn't walk anymore.
Mikleo had insisted. His face had gone red; he'd even gotten kind of sweaty, just trying to make it work and Sorey was worried he'd hurt himself, but there, in his hands, was water.
And now, in his hand, is water.]
I'm here, [Sorey calls from the wall, though he doesn't move closer. Mikleo's eyes don't fix on him so he's probably still hallucinating, and Sorey is reluctant to make things worse by triggering something bad. He does unfold from his seat and push himself up, back against the wall, waiting for a sign that it's all right to move closer. His hands twitch with the desire to go to Mikleo's side, to hold him and make sure he's all right, that his skin is still cool, his heart isn't racing.] I remember that; Gramps said you saved my life.
