Jason surges up with a start, his hand going to his chest immediately. Yeager’s tossing something aside and getting to his feet like nothing just happened, so Jason grabs his arm before demanding an explanation. “What the fuck just happened?”

Yeager glances back in the direction of Gauche and Droite (who are currently in the process of finishing off a couple of particularly strong monsters) before looking back down at Jason. “You fainted. I just revived you. It happens to even the best of us!”

“No, I’m fairly sure I just died.” He can feel his heartbeat beneath his hand and he’s never been happier for it. “My heart stopped. I’m damn sure I felt my heart stop.”

The other man shrugs. “Ja, that happens. Life Bottles can bring someone back from the brink of death—”

“Your world has something that can bring the dead back to life.” Jason repeats flatly. “You’ve gotta be shitting me.”

“I’m not!” Yeager replies, just as pleasant and cheerful as always. “We can try it again if you rush into battle like that and get yourself mauled again!” He’s doing that thing with his face where he’s trying very hard to look like he’s not bothered, but the smile isn’t nearly as natural as he likes to think it is.

Jason pulls himself to his feet with a small sigh. “Why didn’t you warn me about this?”

“I thought it’d be more fun for you to experience it first hand!”

He’s shoving Yeager in the way of the next attack for that.
