Lorenzo shook his head. "It's okay. Thanks, but I know what's wrong with him. He's just no so sure about it. It's withdrawal. Lewis is... how shall I say it... an alternative thinker. A deep thinker, and sees the world through a different spectrum to most. He blows my mind sometimes." At this, he looked over with a side-eyed glance at Clint, a mere silent warning not to make any puns about Lewis blowing more than his mind. "Which means, he had a very sturdy set of beliefs, and a valid background to support why he thinks the way he does. Long story short, after he was kidnapped and badly hurt... like, badly hurt, he did bounce back. It took a little while, but he seemed to just deal with it and didn't want to let it bring him down. Only, it was just like a band-aid over festering trauma beneath the surface. He ended up having trouble sleeping, leading to bad nightmares when he would finally crash that had flashbacks. He drove himself into exhaustion going back to work too soon and had a nervous breakdown. So, he was put on some medication to help him sleep, and anti-anxiety meds. He tried valium at first, but it made him very woozy and out of it, so they changed to Xanax XR. He's really smart, though. Did all the research, knows it's not good to stay on benzos long-term. He wants off them to try to adapt without meds, but he's gone cold turkey and I think that's what is making him sick. Usually if it's a bug, all three of us get it. He was vomiting when he woke up and had the sweats."

His nose crinkled a little, but he couldn't deny he was still a bit pissed at Clint. Only a bit, though, and it was more the fact it was a whole fucking year without any word. "Only because I was fucking worried you were dead, bitch. If you got yourself friggen killed undercover, no one would know to tell me, would they? So, if I'm still a bit pissed with you when I'm in my seventies, you'll just have to fucking wear it. I wish I could tell you why I'm not locked away in a mental unit somewhere. Some days, I feel like I should be. It's been a lot of crap and a lot of the time I haven't coped, but I had to keep going for Holly. She's my life, and my life is hers. You just sort of... do it when you're a parent. I don't even know how to explain it, you just keep going."
