Sola reluctantly nodded and put his hand on his oldest friend's shoulder. He gave a sharp intake of breath at the pain and let loose a strong stream of creative curse words that shouldn't be spoken in polite company. His hand clenched Alec's shoulder, nails digging into his skin, but not enough to make him bleed. He was panting heavily when Alec was finished, and sweating from the whole ideal.
"Thanks, 'buddy'. I really 'appreciate' that." Despite his heavy sarcasm, he really meant it. He patted Alec on the shoulder and lay back in the cot.
"Now go to sleep and keep those dreams dry." He gave a wry smile, knowing that that last joke would go over his head.
