Make me, y'goddamn bastard.

[ she won't even stand on the same side of the room as him -- either because her disdain is that great, or because she knows if she gets within arm's reach, violence is inevitable. but every inch of her body language is angry, hurt, betrayed. she paces her side of the room like a lioness, her voice getting hoarse from all her shouting. ]

I told you. I ain't signin' nothin'.

[ioudas]

You're going to sign it.

(he hates this, hates it so much. usually, he'd just walk over to her, hold her and tell her it's going to be alright. but, he can't and it's getting hard not to just to forget about the divorce.)

I can't keep doing this.

[glassbox]

Fuck you.

[ she's picking up one of his books and chucking it in his general direction from across the room, her voice breaking a little on the curse. she's shaking faintly, she's so angry.

this can't be happening to her again. why does this always happen to her? ]

Why're y'doin' this t'me?

[ioudas]

(he can't take it; tears were fastest way to get to him. that's why left anita in the middle of the night, why lenalee convinced him to stay at the order and that's why he's relenting and breaking that distance.)

I can't see hurt because of me.

[glassbox]

You're hurtin' me now, y'goddamn coward, fuckin' asshole--

[ it's petulant, the way she puts her hands out, catching him by the shoulders and holding him back from her, physically refusing to let him close enough to comfort her or touch her or anything that might rob her of her anger, because she needs to be angry, or it'll hurt even more. ]

I thought you loved me.

[ioudas]

I do.

(his fucked up logic makes him push her arms down, stare right at her and actually show weakness to his wife.

it was so good to say that word wife. or even relish the notion of growing old with someone.)

I can't come home one day and find you dead, I just can't.

[glassbox]

So, what, you're gonna do this t'me instead? Y'think this is better?

[ when she loves, she loves so fully. obsessively. it's killing her to go through this again. she didn't think she'd ever get better after madison -- she didn't think she could go on. it crippled her. she can't do it again. she's not that strong -- nobody is.

frustrated, she tries to brush his hands off her. ]

You're breakin' my heart.

[ioudas]

You think that a momentary pain is worth more than dying?

(it baffles him. firstly, it's because he's too selfish to actually understand loyalty to someone and secondly, she has no reason to stay with him other than she loves him.)

This isn't easy for me either, but it has to be done.

[glassbox]

I'm gonna die anyway.

[ maybe she's come to terms with that -- maybe she hasn't. but she'd rather face her inevitable death than being alone again. she just doesn't invest half-way. her love gets obsessive. the idea that he wants to end things with her almost makes her physically ill. ]

I said I ain't gonna sign it. Y'can't make me. Y'can't. You'll have t'pry my wedding ring off my goddamn finger, y'bastard.

[ioudas]

What part of they will come for you and they will murder you do not understand?

(when people act irrationally, he usually writes it off as a flaw of humanity. but when it's her, he feeds off of it, slowly trying to match her in his sense of urgency.)

[glassbox]

I'm your wife. What part a'that don't you understand?

[ioudas]

If anything happened to you, I don't know what I would do.

[glassbox]

I don't care about the goddamn what-ifs.

[ioudas]

I do. Lillian, please just sign the papers.

[glassbox]

[ she ignores him, asking instead, demandingly: ]

Do y'still love me or don't you?

[ioudas]

And if I say that I still do? What good is it?

[glassbox]

Answer me, Cross.

[ioudas]

Yes. (he sighs, staring out at the middle of nowhere.)

Yes, I do.

[glassbox]

Then don't leave me.

[ioudas]

... Then don't die on me.
