For a simple, harmless question it comes like a knife to the gut and it shows in the blankness of his stare, the helplessness in it. He's not ready to revisit the place of animal desperation and loneliness he just barely escaped by some means he has yet to piece together. But the world never waits for anyone to be ready. His throat bobs shallowly in a few false starts and he gives himself a moment just to breathe, eyes closed, before he relays the facts.

"We were tryin' to cross the lake to the house on the other side," He begins, slow and as measured as he can make it. So careful. "But the ice started to give, an' then when Clem came after me, I-- there was nothin' I could do." A beat. A muscle flexes in his jaw, his expression darkening. "She was right above me an' I, I couldn't get to 'er. Couldn't jus'... push 'er a li'l ways up to the surface."

All he could do was watch her drift further away, too far, her body a silhouette hovering up above near the surface. Close, but not close enough. He blinks and his gaze snaps back to Kenny, an unspoken plea.

"There was still time -- someone, someone could a' gotten to 'er... "

He makes sure to answer that plea first. "She's fine."

But it's still nothing he wanted to hear. Luke should be dead, but isn't, and- he sets his jaw firmly and makes the decision that he's simply not going to think about it as he's been brought back from the dead in a distinctly non-walker form.

So he shifts gears. "Alright. It means when you got hauled off by..." he pauses, feeling like a jackass as he so often does when talking magic shit "either the imps or fairies or whatever the fuck right before you were about to fuckin' drown."

His nose wrinkles with distaste.

"And by hauled off, I mean." His voice gets a mockingly sarcastic 'pleasant' tone. "Hey! Congratulations! You got a piece of a fuckin' magical rock in you somewhere, and that means the assholes in charge of this joint think that you give two shits about their problems!"
