CHARACTERS: severus snape & jax teller
LOCATION: various rooms
WARNINGS: SADNESS
SUMMARY: jax has been willed a space rifle and severus is apparently the executor of shep's will thanks shep
NOTES: takes place after the jump! I SAW THAT ABBY

He'd have just found Jax in the medbay if he'd known but - obviously - he didn't, and couldn't have. More than once Severus takes his comms device out and thinks about sending a message about it instead, but doesn't know what to say. Not like he ever knows what to say about anything that's not a bloody lecture, but he's also feeling particularly resentful about the network and technology as a whole.

Later than he'd like, having spent more time than he can rightfully stomach sorting through reactions and having wasted yet more time cruising pointlessly by gunnery, he ends up outside the other man's door. Hits the side of his fist to the door, snaps, "Teller." Both rougher than he intended.

[ jax isn't handling this well. he's running low on alcohol and he's planning on steadily drinking himself through his grief, one way or another. whether or not he does it with an audience doesn't really matter. it's not like losing abel, not really, but it's the same sort of loss. it's losing a brother in arms, and jax hates it. he hates himself for not going after her. what the fuck had he been doing? he'd been babysitting a bunch of dogs instead of looking for her. maybe if he'd--

but that line of thought's interrupted by the banging on his door. jax glares balefully at the doorway for a long moment before lurching to his feet, opening it with a bottle of beer dangling from his fingers. ]

Do I really need to tell you this is a bad time?
