[Frustration claws at him. That he's so tied down to people that he can't breathe.]

I won't put it on you.
I'll talk to someone else and arrange for them to do it.

[domainless]

Oh no. No, you are not hiring an- an assassin to take you out.

[compellingstatement]

It's not hiring someone.
It's ensuring I don't have to have you deal with me if I ever give in entirely to the Watcher.
Or if something like this happens.
I've had agreements like that before here.
The people they were with are gone now.

[domainless]

If you can survive into the bloody apocalypse without giving in to the Ceaseless Voyeur, then I'm not worried about it happening here.

And- what if they kill you and- and then everything gets fixed a few days later?

[compellingstatement]

Then I'll probably be resurrected after it ends.
I've already died here, Martin.
More than once.

[domainless]

I hate that you've been through enough that you can say that easily.

I don't want you to die, Jon.

[compellingstatement]

I know.
But I don't want to live like that.
I don't want to live without loving you.

[domainless]

I love you too. I do.

Just... don't do it recklessly, okay? You can't just throw your life away.

[compellingstatement]

All right.
I promise I'll check with you next time before trying something like this.
I just don't want you getting in trouble along with me if it comes to it.
You can remember you're more vulnerable than I am, right?

[domainless]

Thank you.

And hey, we- you and me together. That's the deal.

[compellingstatement]

You're getting a rotten deal.

[domainless]

Not if it's you.

I get to decide that for me, Jon.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon sighs to himself.]

Have I mentioned you're disgustingly romantic at times?

[domainless]

Might have come up.

You're welcome :)
