"I'm here, mon chéri." He leans down to kiss Alfred's forehead as he carries him downstairs, headed down towards the crypt.
Koukol is there, fluffing pillows and putting in the extra blankets that Herbert requested. Sarah and his father are already in their crypt, and so Hebert carefully lays Alfred down in the crypt, tucking his blankets around him to try and keep him warm. Then he climbs in after and pulls Alfred close as Koukol slides the top of the crypt over them, shutting them in.
"I know it's dark, and you hurt, and it's frightening. But I'm here, and I'm going to hold you and talk to you as long as I can stay awake. And then, when you awaken this evening, I'll be here still."
