"I hate to sound totally pathetic, but anything with me not dying will be pretty amazing." He tried to make it sound like a joke, despite being completely serious. When he opened his eyes, he looked down at Helen, and for the moment, just smile gratefully as he considered what to do next with the permission he'd been given.
