[CLINGS TO HIM WITH AN OPEN SOB.]

[glorious]

[eyes the knife and poison for a moment, then looks back down at Hunter and strokes his hair.]

...Don't do anything until after I'm revived.

[deathandtaxes]

...I won't make a promise I can't keep.

[glorious]

[...strokes his cheek and chuckles bitterly.]

We did warn them.

[deathandtaxes]

[kissing his palm, smiling through the tears.]

Don't get too close, if it gets messy.

[glorious]

...Very well. If you insist. Even if you fail, we'll get them later. We made a promise to them after all.

[deathandtaxes]

I try to keep those.

[water level is rising...time for one final kiss]

[deathandtaxes]

[i'm sure this is going to be not at all traumatizing for either of us. biting back the rage and grief and just giving him the most affectionate kiss he can muster.]

[glorious]

[letting that linger before the water's dangerously high, then pulls back]

...I'm sorry.

[deathandtaxes]

[cups his cheek]

Don't.

[glorious]

[leans into that]

Very well.
