Call it a hazard of your job. Some people, right, will not shed a tear when you're gone.

[awwnoun]

This wasn't supposed to be a pity party or anything, you know.

Why did you pick me? To work with, I mean. At the start.

[redrooms]

Do I seem like the type of person who wants to be mourned?

[devoutish]

No, I don't think you really give a damn what I think of you.

[swatsflies]

[ Leaning on him. ]

I don't think I could do this without you. And I definitely don't want to put you through losing others again. [ Though he might still try to save the day when it came down to it. ]

you love it.

[rattlingthestars]

So stop dodging.

[redrooms]

I'm not pitying you.

[And if he didn't think she was going to try to dodge that question... Whoops.]

[awwnoun]

Aww, that means the answer to that question is even worse than I thought.

FUUUUUUUUUH wait what.

[heroproceeding]

[ Harsh. Enough that Zack might be flinching visibly. ]

I am dodging!

[ ...Wait, what? ]

[rattlingthestars]

[ Sarcastic, drawn out: ]

Noooo, really?

[heroproceeding]

I didn't mean to say that! [ And he might be running a hand down his face now because why in the fuck did he say that? ]

[not here]

[heroproceeding]

[ As Zack wanders the wild of the house with it on. Secretly. While pretending to snoop through messages on his tablet. ]

[redrooms]

[Forced honesty is the worse thing ever and she hates all of this.]

Because you were skilled, but you were also idealistic, and you weren't subtle about your interest in me. I knew that would make you easy to manipulate, and I knew I couldn't deal with Stark alone.

[Ugh!]

That's how it started out. But you didn't follow my orders blindly, and you were brave and competent and a far better person than I was, and I admired that. You were also one of the first people in a very long time to treat me as anything other than the Black Widow. You were far better than I deserved. I'm sorry.

[awwnoun]

[ He's smiling by the end of it. Rough start - not that he doesn't know he's easy to manipulate, but still. ]

I'm not going to hold any of that against you, you know. You weren't exactly the same person you are now and neither was I.

[redrooms]

Like I said, better than most of us. Sometimes I don't understand how you don't hold it against me.

[darkincrement]

So, you would look after it even if I wasn't coming to get it?

[rubikscomplex]

Get other people to leave me alone.

[Look at him getting around that!]

[rubikscomplex]

Half of them talk like adults, especially the ones who won't live past 15.

[devoutish]

You haven't got the medicine to fix that stuff yet?

[hangfire]

Because you make me damn uncomfortable. [Forced honesty being what it is, though, he practically chokes up another answer.] And I'm having a hard enough time taking care of myself right now, let alone a kid. You're turning into baggage I can't handle.

[rubikscomplex]

Some of them can get treatment, but there's no silver bullet. And treatment might only extend their life a few years. Some people can't afford it, either.

[hangfire]

My father cut it off.

[Enjoy how low his tone gets with that answer, Vanitas.]

[hangfire]

[Noooooooo no no no no no no no no--]

Every damn second.

[devoutish]

You can send a perfect image of your face all the way round the world, but you can't cure a child of a disease. Seems a bit backwards.

[jumpthegun]

I give you a whole list of character traits, and you tell me I'm pretty. [He tuts. So disappointing.]
