[That ear twitching again, so subtle it could be easily missed by someone who didn't know Fenris well enough. Wade can't exactly say that he knows all of the ins and outs of Fenris's personality, but he's always been pretty good at reading people, and he's been around Fenris long enough to recognize that that reaction only really comes about when Fenris is uncomfortable... or embarrassed.

No, dude. I know what mortally wounded feels like. There's like this... cold numbness that creeps over you. You start losing feeling in your limbs, your brain gets sluggish and sleepy, almost like you're dozing off. S'been a long time since I last felt it, but that ain't exactly something you forget. Even if I wasn't on my way out, my healing factor wasn't strong enough to heal the kind of wounds that fucker gave to me.
At least... not until I heard your voice. It felt like all those years ago, when my healing factor first kicked in. Almost like-- I-I dunno how to describe it. Like... your words gave me strength, or something.
