[Lee casts one last look at Oswald and Alfred before walking off to go find supplies, leaving the two battered men alone at the foot of the steps. Alfred's eyes are no longer set with grim determination, instead they watch with tired curiosity as Oswald shimmies out of his coat. When Oswald wraps the coat around Alfred's shoulders he feels something shift inside him, his chest loosens and he exhales a breath he wasn't aware he had been holding and moves to lean his body against the smaller man.]

....thank you.

[He breathes and rests his head against the crook of Oswald's neck, his eyes closing as he fully realizes that he's safe again.]

Thank you for saving me.
