I still think you should tell me, but fine. I'llr respect your privacy.

It probably would have been something about Natalie or Pagan since you care about them the most. Like I said, total bullshit, just something that would hurt. I don't think you were wishing for me or Arthur to disappear when you told me about how people disappear but you knew it would hurt after everything we talked about.

Same thing.

Did it hurt?

It was shocking, but I'll be honest and admit I'm not all that afraid of it happening, mostly because the King in Yellow couldn't separate us. I doubt the Admiral would.

But it mostly hurt that you decided to send that to me. Then it didn't hurt because I realized why you were doing it. Which isn't guessing. The really quiet and then agreeing to talk to me was kind of obvious.

[It would have been grimly satisfying to hear that she'd picked the right words to hurt him, in the way that it's always satisfying when she sets out to do something and does it well. It isn't satisfying at all to hear that he'd been hurt by her intent to hurt - on the contrary, it sends a little pang of guilt through her heart.]

It is guessing. It's just a guess that happened to be right.

I made that guess before the agreement. But you hadn't told me I was wrong, so I was still going with it. I won't guess again.

I wasn't blaming you! Only pointing out that it was a guess.

I didn't take it that way. I just wanted you to know I wasn't going back on our agreement so quickly as that. I was trying to reassure you.

Okay.

So, a few days?

A few days. We need to resettle. And I want to have some things settled with Natalie first.

Not because of preference, but because I know she matters to you.

Give me a date, and I'll come.

Do you want to check in with Pagan?

I don't need to ask his permission to visit you.

So you don't want him there? That's what I'm checking.

Oh. No, it's fine. I'm not afraid to come alone, John.

Okay. Just me?

Nat can come!

That wasn't what I meant.

I meant 'no Arthur'?

No.

[The way they are when they're together gets her hackles up.]

That's what I thought.

I don't think I'd like you and Natalie together either, if I'm honest. Like... with me there.

Seriously? Why?

...why don't you want Arthur there?

Because whenever I see you together, you're *together*, and I hate talking to you through him.

Same thing.

Also last time you were 'together' you shot Arthur and treated me like I was going to hurt Natalie. Not really good memories.

I don't talk to you through Natalie.
