"I didn't think that when I was in the desert, I only thought it long after. I just don't have the kneejerk automatic reaction most people seem to have. After it's no good, it's always too late." He nodded. "It does have a toll though, I will grant you that much, but I was led to believe that the pursuit of power always took a few sacrifices. It was easier before the island, these days it seems like everything only results in...more strangeness."
He squeezed Rodney back as much as he was able.
"We will find a way you can be there, a way you can tell me when to stop, when I can ask you when it matters."
He made a small sound in his throat.
"I want to be home. I want to check out of here. I want to be with you."

"Alright," Rodney said softly. "I'd...like to do some training with Mikael.
I think...he'd appreciate it if you came too. The, um-" he flinched, "The courses.
I could try with those, to start."
He tried not to panic at just the thought of it.
"Did...did they say? Can you come home soon?" He asked.

Lawrence nodded. "Yes. That sounds like a start, I'd like to come and support you both, even if I've already done them. You will be fine, many of them are golem based. I have faith in you, you are stronger than you think you are. You can beat this if anyone can."
He clung a little tighter to Rodney's hand at his question though. "They said they aren't sure if there will be complications with it. I need to stay here. But Rodney I hate it. I can't shave, I can't eat the food they serve here and they MAKE me eat it, I can't handle being stuck here like some sort of attraction. I want to go home."
And more than ever he sounded like a man much younger than he was.

"I can help with your grooming and fresh clothes," Rodney said, "And I can bring some meals from the house. If...you could give me some recipes that weren't too complicated, I don't mind making them. I cooked for myself before I came here. I just...didn't have a kitchen in the basement."

He nodded. "That would be excellent on both counts." The people at the infirmary seemed to be convinced that him gaining weight was somehow intrinsically tied to him getting better. He refused to get fat simply to mend up a wound he'd already healed before. His own meals would be low calorie and exactly what he needed to eat.

Butch's opinion simply made him more resolute.
"You cook just fine and you know where my utensils and the like are. I will give you a few recipes. You are always a godsend my darling. As far as shaving I certainly need a trim but barring my face I am thinking perhaps I will keep some of my erm... natural hair, forgo shaving for a time, what do you think? The natural look."
