[the little warble to his voice makes her heart ache, but she reaches for his hand and holds it, eyes closed.]
You're so sweet to me. [she says, with a little hiccuppy laugh.] I think that's what I'll be reaching for. A longer story with a couple of really good twists, and a banger of an ending.
[a deep breath.]
... I didn't want to die, but I think - it might have been the best thing to happen to me, here.
[she was absolutely running on empty, and while it's still hard, being here has re-energized her so, so much.]
[ he unwinds his arm from her, sitting back into her thighs, and lets her take his hand. he lifts hers to his mouth and kisses over her fingers. he murmurs to them, brows still furrowed. ]
I wanted you over here bad. Not just for me, but I knew you needed it. I didn't want you sufferin' like that in secret. I just didn't know how bad it was until now. I wish I could cry for ya'.
[ he squeezes her hand, presses it over his chest, and slides his hand back to her cheek. he kisses her softly before looking meaningfully into her eyes. ]
I'm gonna make sure you get that life. We're gonna live every day like it's our last, 'n get the most out of everything we got.
[just - in general. just because she feels like it might be cathartic to do. her fingers trace a little absent pattern over his chest as she soaks up the attention, meeting his gaze.]
But - yeah. I'm with you. Every day we're going to live as hard as we can. And... you were the best twist. [a lame little joke, but she leans to kiss him back, tail swishing absently.] Sorry my memories wanted to torment you a little too.

What'd I say before, huh? You've got nothin' to apologize for.
[ even though his inclination is also to apologize, to say he wished she didn't need to see those parts of his hurt either. ]
I s'pose the both of us got guilt we're still hangin' onto. ...You ever get to talk with Rondo 'bout all this?
