[If they don't meet in person first, Pitch will finally see this post and reply nearly two weeks after it goes up. If Horatio tracks him down before that, though, he can often be found out on deck, hovering by the railing and looking up at the stars.]

[Fortunately, the deck is one of Horatio's first ports of call when he wakes up, and when he sees his inmate there, he's swift to approach him.]

Pitch. I apologise for my absence over these past few weeks. Have you been well, Sir?

When did you fall asleep? I'll tell you what you missed.

[Please note that Pitch's version of what he missed will probably leave out a lot of important things that Pitch didn't pay attention to.]

Just Tris. [The usual correction, but she's so glad to see him up that she doesn't even sound exasperated.] I didn't pull you up the stairs this time.

Are you up for visitors yet? I'd like to stop by and cook something. [JUST TRY AND STOP HER FROM FEEDING YOU, HORATIO. She dares you.]

Fortunately it wasn't the death toll, this time, so I feel quite well. Just a long, deep, sleep.

And I couldn't impose on you. Not more than I already do.

I'm either going to feed you or fret over you. I very much prefer the former. And you're not imposing if I offer.

We did not go to Disneyworld.

Thank you.

[But that means that Francesco didn't get to go to Disneyworld, and that is a grave injustice.]

And Happy Christmas, although I'm aware it's late.

[Then: because he feels like there was something he needed to do, niggling at the back of his mind before he passed out for a month.]

Have I congratulated you yet, Francesco?

[He'll meet Ariel some day.]

And you. And I do not think so, but you may certainly do so as often as you'd like.

How do you know about Disneyworld, anyway?

Furiosa and I went to visit Cold's home world when he graduated. And we went to Disneyworld.

And it was magical.

Now I don't feel bad for robbing you off the experience by getting us to Stockholm.

Stockholm, Lieutenant, you didn't miss anything worthwhile. It was fucking freezing.

Oh, that sounds nice.

[It sounds miserable, but Horatio is all about that misery.]

Or, it sounds befitting of the season, at least.

Think I'd've preferred Booze Of The World, overall. Not that Stockholm was by any means dry, I'll grant.

At least you're feeling rested, I trust?

Well.

It's about time.

Yes, I'm sure your heart ached from my absence.

[Unfortunately, you've had your three week stay of execution, and now... now there's a Private filter going up:]

Did you make a deal with Bill? After everything you said to me about not showing our hands and being patient?

It did. Painfully so.

[Private]

Whatever he said, he's lying.

[ After the message, a package is put outside of the door. There is a very warm navy blue wool coat, a book of Romantic poetry (see the capital R there), and a small selection of various very expensive teas. On the very top is a small box, carefully wrapped which has strangley candied fruits on skewers, done in such a way which almost makes them look like crystals.

There is no note. ]

[Horatio unwraps everything Clark's left. Reads some of the poems, eats some of the candied fruit, and makes a calculated guess about who left all of this for him.

For about a day, he wrestles with the question of how to respond, or if he should at all, but there are other things he wants to say to Clark, so when he sees him on the deck a few nights later, he pushes down any uncertainty that he might feel, and approaches.]

I believe congratulations are in order, Clark?

[He flashes him a warm, slightly hesitant smile.]

And-- I wanted to thank you as well. For the gifts.

[He's wearing the coat.]

[ There'd been half a moment when he'd heard Horatio's heartbeat nearing the deck when he'd thought to go someplace else. Anywhere else. But the second he'd had the thought, he'd discarded it as cowardly and he stayed at the railing. As Horatio walks over, he turns and offers an easy enough smile.

It is anything but easy, in some ways. Easier than breathing in others. ]

You'll have to tell me what I've done to deserve it. But... you're welcome.

[ He gestures to the coat. ]

For the gifts. Merry Christmas.

I'm sorry to have worried you, Sir. I'll admit that, even being familiar with this place, I find it disquieting to wake up with weeks of time missing.

I thought you were supposed to be leaving me alone?
