Frankie!

[She says it and maybe it's a little more sharp than she intended, but she's still holding on]

You knew that, I warned you, didn't I? Before we left, I said, if you were going to go die-

[Maybe she said that. Maybe she just wanted to.]

[transposition]

[She's the only thing he's been thinking of, he's been drawn like iron to a magnet since he woke up here, when he shouldn't have woken up at all. Day after day after day tracing his scarred shoulder with his fingertips and thinking, and not thinking, just wanting.]

I shouldn't have come.

[That was the deal, wasn't it? The City was meant to be all he had.]

[eiremagic]

I'll fucking punch you out, you fucking arsehole.

[She says it and she means it.]

[transposition]

[She might have to.]

It's not fair. You know it's not.

[eiremagic]

Not fair to who? To Moore? Since when do I give a flying fuck about what's fucking fair?

You know what isn't fair? Having your fucking husband leave you to save his fucking brother, that's not fucking fair.

[She is getting very clearly angry - there is no doubt that punch is coming soon]

[transposition]

You think I was fucking happy about it?

[She's the only good thing he's ever had.]

[eiremagic]

You went! You went even though you didn't have to go, you left me, and I let you, so don't start up on what's fair-

[Oh, people are looking, now]

[transposition]

I couldn't have left him to fucking die!

[Let them fucking look, he doesn't give a damn.]

What the fuck are you gonna tell Moore, huh?

[eiremagic]

I told him I was married, didn't I? I told him and he fucking got it, better than you did-

[She's starting to hyperventilate now]

How could you fucking do this to me? How could you fucking do this to me?

[transposition]

Eden.

[He's not sure if he's pleading or trying to reason with her or trying to calm her down. Or maybe he's just saying it while he can, like he's going to vanish.]

It wasn't supposed to be like this, you fucking know I didn't mean it to be like this.

[eiremagic]

And here we fucking are, and you want to leave-

What the fuck did you think was going to happen, Frankie? That I would sit and mourn you forever?

[transposition]

Course not.

[He's not even really trying to not look petulant.]

I didn't think I was gonna make it out of that fucking room.

[eiremagic]

Then act like a fucking man about this, will you?

[transposition]

I'm fucking trying to. I'm trying not to tear things apart for you, here.

[eiremagic]

Don't be fucking daft?

[She hits him again, but less hard.]

[transposition]

[Christ, what a mess. He glares for a moment, not exactly at her but sort of in her direction, without a damn idea what to do.

So he leans in to kiss her again, if she lets him.]
