[Consider them both sobbing messes at this point. Klaus doesn’t even know how to stop themselves. He called them his spouse and it’s all over from that point.] We…don’t even…it’s not rules, it’s magic! Ava said it… [Sniffles.] Had to happen too.
[They’re not really sure how or why they’re being put on their back, but then they’re there and still crying.] I TOLD YOU I WAS SCARED Y— [This is a lot of yelling] I was scared you weren’t going to want me anymore and I’m…I’m not as strong as you think I am. [If they were, they certainly wouldn’t be clinging the way they are now or crying or just letting themselves be moved around in this shower.] Skulduggery asked. What if that’s the only way to free himself of that part of him? What if he’s so scared of hurting others again, he needed to make sure he held himself accountable? What if, by stopping the Captain and cutting ties you made it impossible for that to happen and he had to live with the very real possibility that he’d constantly kill his friends and loved ones and anyone else that got in his way over and over? Sometimes we can’t hates things and rules so much we destroy them because…because then it hurts more. So he made the person he loves the most do it because that’s the only way it’ll work. Or the Captain knew he had to do it and that was the only way.
[He can’t help but think about this.] I don’t hate you. [The words are so quiet, but he’s said them anyway.] But…remember what I said about things you say and so affecting people. You hurt Valdis very badly. You hurt me very badly. So listen and ask me before and if the evidence still points there, I’ll support you.
