"Corporal Person," comes the reply, and Ray can't tell if it's meant to be mocking or not.

He tries again, "Nate?"

"Ray," Nate's tone is less serious, friendlier this time around. "Do you know what time it is? Are you okay?"

Ray laughs. "No and no. But I hear you know a guy."

That was my favourite part. I loved how neatly, how believably you wrapped this fic up. /Mems
