[He doesn't stand up. Doesn't try to close the distance. He's almost always been touching people when he effects them on the barge, but that's not a requirement. It helps him focus, and it's an excuse to touch, to be temporarily connected. But it's unnecessary theater. He just stares at Jerry, and takes the endless bright well inside him, and pours impossibility into the sliver of the world where Jerry stands, turns back all the little tics and transformations. In some ways, it's the easiest resurrection he's ever done, all the pieces already in working order, and in some ways it's the hardest, because the unlife of vampirism isn't a magic he's ever tangled with before. But death is death, in the end, and where he goes, death has no dominion.]
