[Klaus says it in a gentle teasing tone, glancing over at his brother with a bright smile, and then he makes a genuine laugh when Ben says that someone's gotta fix the elevators. He clamps a hand over his mouth to stifle the sound, but his eyes are still bright with amusement.]
You know, I was literally just thinking that.
[While Ben checks for radiation, Klaus keeps an eye out for any signs of danger, and when Ben reaches over to pat him on the shoulder after saying he doesn't think they're bots, Klaus nods.]
Yeah they look like...alive. Right? I'm not just imagining that?
[While he whispers, the two of them start moving forward. The transition from concrete breezeway to grass makes it a little harder to stay as quiet, but Klaus manages it surprisingly well. He might not have, before Vietnam, before Hadriel, when he was high all the time and not thinking clearly, but now he does. It feels kind of good, he feels a little spike of accomplishment. Not quite enough to offset the cravings, of course, but still, it's something.
As they get closer, Klaus realizes that one of the lights, which had looked like it was pulsing like a glowing heart or something, is actually a bird. A blue, glowing bird.]
Holy shit. [It's breathed out, softly, and he reaches over to close his fingers into Ben's sleeve.] I think they're animals.
