i told him he should leave you there. he didn't speak to me for almost a week.

but if you're going to do nothing, i don't see why it matters where you are.

[novembercities]

i'm not going to do nothing, you bloodsucking idiot. i'm not going to make his suicide mission easy for him.

he needs a guard. a real one. the ones here aren't enough.

[mislay]

are you really in a position to do that right now? or are you asking me to find one?

[novembercities]

why can't you do it at least while the sun is down? you're as useless as i am otherwise.

[mislay]

what makes you think i haven't? i don't need to be with him to protect him.

[novembercities]

i want you here with him.

[mislay]

and what about you? [ That isn't a yes, but it isn't a no. ]

[novembercities]

i don't know if i'm going to stay. but he's hard to leave.

you're the only one here who could face me should something happen.

[mislay]

that's something you should talk to him about. he won't let you leave.

is that what this is really about? you think you're going to hurt him again, so you would rather ignore everything he's trying to do than stay with him?

i didn't think you were a coward either.

[novembercities]

i know what the situation is.

i don't know how many ways i need to say i nearly killed him. it's not cowardice to want to keep him safe, and besides, you're not one to talk.

i'll kill him, or the factory will. i'l do whatever it takes to make sure neither one happens.

[mislay]

i don't think you do.

the circumstances between us are completely different. egil doesn't feel the same about me as he does you. so you can't use that as an excuse.

talking like that is what kills people. if you want him dead, then just continue doing as you have been. but i think he deserves more from you than that.

[novembercities]

if you know so much then fill me in on what i'm missing.

i won't use that as a reason to put him in danger. you're better suited for this.

[ His chest tightens, and he doesn't respond for several minutes. ] i've given him everything i can. he deserves more than what i am.

[mislay]

[ This is getting ridiculous, and frankly, Larus doesn't know how Egil can put up with this all the time. Has it always been like this. ]

you're not the only one who's hurt him. i'm no better, but i'm still going to try.

i wonder how well you know egil at all. have you even considered that what you are is good enough for him? has he ever asked you to be more than that? i can already tell you the answer.
