Now stopped, John could not tell whether the look on Court's face meant she was happy to see him. He understood there could be a complicated mix of emotions at play: relief that he was not dead; residual frustration that he might have died; resentment, even, that he made her feel these things in the first place. Ordinarily, a daunting set to disentangle. But today, right now, while he was exhausted and still lightly bleeding from his nose? Too overwhelming to fathom how he should respond.
"You'll have to kill me another day, Court." Humor, when in doubt.
