[ she squeezes even tighter, grinning against his collarbone and tilting her head up in time for the kiss ]

I know. You've gone above and beyond in watching over all of us. You gotta look out for yourself too, okay? ...and Jason. Probably mostly Jason.

[voodooqueer]

[ he reaches around to give her a little pinch on the ass as he pulls apart from her. ]

... Why ain't you dressed fo' Terry funeral?

[justsookie]

[ a yelp, and then a double-take. it says something that she hadn't reacted to the talk of a funeral earlier; people keep dying, but... not those close to her. no. ]

Wait, what? Terry's what?

[ and cue the panic. ]

When did — no, I saw him just a couple of days ago at Merlotte's, he was just fine.

[voodooqueer]

Sookie, he ain't been 'just fine' for a year.

You really don't-- shit. Never mind it, Sook. Terry dead. You was at he funeral like the rest of us.

[justsookie]

Oh god, I had no idea.

[ starting to cry, and worried as hell for arlene ]

How did it happen? And why don't I remember any of this?

[voodooqueer]

[ he pulls her in again, cradling the side of her head against the roundest part of his chest and shoulder. ]

You don't cry. Get rid of them tears. You lost enough of those already. This ain't your fault, this ain't nobody's fault but George motherfuckin' Bush and Satan heself, you understand me?

[justsookie]

[ too late, she's starting to cry anyway ]

B-but I thought he was managing all of that, at Merlotte's, and he and Arlene were so happy together. I know those memories really ever disappear but I didn't think...

[voodooqueer]

I know. I know. Ain't none of us 'thought.' We only figure out what hapopen when we open the safety deposit box Terry gave me the key for. But that's a long and fucked up story, Sook. You can have it once you got someplace to sit with a cup of tea, and some Valium. I'm takin' one if you ain't.

Hell of a lot of shit been happening. And I ain't know if I should tell you all it unless it comes up I got to.

[justsookie]

[ deep shaky breaths, and sookie's doing her best not to pry, not to poke, though she knows she easily could. but lafayette's most often the one with sense, right? ]

You know I don't like being kept in the dark, Lafayette. I'd rather just know everything all at once and learn how to move on than to have surprises hit me in the middle of the night.

[voodooqueer]

[ he resists for a tight moment, but Sookie, she's right. at the end of the day, Lafayette is sensible. it ain't sensible to keep Sookie in the dark. when you already covered in shit, what's one more dollop? ]

Andy got a fairy baby, Eric missing, Bill was some vampire god but Billith ain't a thang no more, Hoyt moved to Alaska, Sam's white trash trouble brother dead, Alcide be acting an ass, you killed Debbie Pelt and got Tara turned into a vampire, I ain't even touching Jason 'cause he can tell you he deal himself, Sarah Newlin started some crazy-ass vampire concentration camp, and there ain't any Tru Blood left, so we all fucked as cheap hookers anyway.

[ after a brief pause, he adds, voice softer ] Jesus dead. I a witch who sees everyone's dead relatives all the time, so I guess me an' you got something more in common now.
