"Of course I am Pet. Of course I am."
De replied as he rested there on his knees in the sand a moment, drawing slow, controled breaths. He was trying to slow his own pulse a bit as it had sped up and skipped a few beats when AJ came back to the land of the living. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't a bit pleased with himself, though at the moment he was to overjoyed (on the inside of course) to give himself a mental pat on the back.
De let his eyes roam over AJ's face and chest a moment as she seemed to slip into a light sleep, making sure that her cheeks started to return to their normal color and that she was breathing comfortably of her own accord. He watched her a few more seconds then turned his attention back to his furry friend, seeing the effect the situation was having on the woman. She wasn't exactly calm now, but who could blame her? One of her friends had almost just died. But at least now she seemed to be more herself. Even if it was a more excited, and in a way slightly cuter, version of herself.
His head was starting to dip a little as he turned to look at Johnny boy, still concerned with the other man's well being. Granted he'd claimed he'd be fine...but De had known many a man and woman alike who'd said the same thing while obviously lying. Hell, he'd been one of those people from time to time.
"So how you holding up mate? Sure you don't need a bit of the ol' lip to lip?" He said with a smirk and quick wink.
