"You're doing good," I say softly again. "Just keep breathing until the shaking's past and you're through. You can do it." I slow down my count slightly. "And, when you're ready, you have two cats to hold while you rest." I release the hand that L is stroking. Now is most definitely not the time to try and bring up any problems that need 'solving.' After he recovers, maybe with L not around, he can be told the full history of what happened, will happen, is happening. The timelines are so confusing here.
