Lyle caught Lester when he stumbled. “Right, time for a break.”

“We need to keep going.”

“You need to rest.” Lyle eased Lester down, kneeling beside him to check his pulse.

“I'm fine, Jon.”

“Yes, James.”

Lester smiled, caressing Lyle's cheek. “You know,” he nodded at the clone staring at the butterfly on his outstretched finger. “I know they breath and have all the other signs of life, but until now, I've never really considered them to be people.”

“Neither does Helen.” Lyle tilted his head as he smiled up at Lester. “And smooth distraction, James, but not smooth enough.”

Beautifully done.

Very nice. Aw, I like the clone.

The clone is finding new friends inside and outside Helen's compound! Love his sense of wonder, and the contrast with Lester and Lyle being street-wise to each other's deviousness ;)

Despite their situation this is a lovely scene.

He is, and that some people are nicer than others ;) The clone is an innocent in some ways, Lester and Lyle certainly aren't.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Nice try, James. Great use of the prompt. Perhaps they have those human vital signs after all (at least the one that's helping them).

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James had to try ;) *nods* The clone is becoming more human.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Very smooth distraction! The slow development of the clone is a nice counterpoint to the James/Jon relationship.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James tried ;) Good to know the clone worked.

Thanks for reading.

The clone is becoming more of a person all the time.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Good to know he's becoming more of a person.

Thanks for reading.
