Clearly this is a situation B needs to rectify. Now that he's mostly over his problems with touch, he loves hugs. (This may or may not change post timeskip... we'll see.) "I know. I don't regret that you did it, either, god. But it was still hard." He rubs at Lark's shoulder warmly. "There anything I can do?"
Besides bringing soup and hugging him, that is. Because he's already doing that.
"Help me make sure it never happens again." It's the only thing that could make any of this better. If this is the last time he ever has to kill someone he loves, then he can live with it.
"However I can," B promises. If that means Lark calls him in to do the mercy killing, so be it. If it means keeping tabs on people, he's already said he can do that. "Just point me at whatever you need me to do to prevent shit like that."
"I'll keep you in the loop." He already does with most things, but it's an old, root deep habit to keep his plans to himself. Even Alec doesn't know all of them.
"If you keep me in the loop on everything, I'd probably get lost pretty quick," B says with a bit of a smile, only about half-serious. "I know your brain is a lot busier than mine."
"Yeah, I saw that." B gives him another squeeze, then a little push off him. "Eat your dinner. You'll think more clearly. And maybe I'll steal your communicator for a while so you can sleep without being stupid about it."
B accepts it with a look somewhere between surprised and amused. "That was a lot easier than I expected," he admits, but he pockets the device inside his jacket. "I promise I won't play any pranks with it. Pretend I'm you or whatever."
He's joking, but it's still the truth, he's not going to or anything.
"Maybe I'll use it to apologize to people as you," B teases, giving his shoulder a nudge and then a pointed not at the soup. Eat, buddy. "Fix some of your sleep-deprived messes."
