( does mark value the currency of a promise enough not to resent her for it? she's not sure — he's not really the kind to take someone's word at face value. if he was, he wouldn't have lyonesse. )
you were just talking about leaving anyway. do you want to stay?

in that argument, i'm the one more copable. i made the oath. i wear the ring.
( of course, tristan has a ring of his own that mark gave him — but it's different. )
maybe we should think about telling him, and letting him decide who to blame.

It isn't the same with me though. I was sent to protect you, not fuck you every chance I could.
[And definitely not to fall in love with her.]
If we tell him, he might make me leave.

( with me. with him. with us. )

[An immediate response, because that was never a question for him. Instead-]
The right thing for me to do would be to leave though. What use am I as a bodyguard if I can't be trusted with you? [No.] With either of you?
no subject
for the record i think you'd do anything to protect me, which is a good quality in a bodyguard.
we can stop. but i don't want to be strangers with you. so don't
push me aside. okay? we'll be good.
( out loud, it'd be a question. we'll be good? are we capable? )
