[He looks at Julian and knows that it's for faces like this that he does what he does. It's for the poets and the artists, the wonderfully bright people who have a little faith in humanity still. Even though few of them are optimistic, they see a worthiness in everything. He spies not because he hates England, but because he loves her too much, and has faith in her still. He has faith in the faithful.

[He starts to laugh but the sadness gripping it chokes him. He ends up having a cough and the sheen of his eyes heavy with weighted saltwater. It's nearly too much... that worry in Julian's gaze that besets a wider panic. Guy can read it, even in his own spiral-down cling to what he believes are remnants of reality. Oh Julian.

He turns his head toward the door. Julian can follow him, can't he? But there's a flick of a look back to the man with the printed wings.]


You'll be gone when I get there, won't you?

[Not we, but I. He still believes, with all his heart, that Julian is a figment of the wounds beset in it. He's scratched over them for years, and the festering pain of it all has brought him to this.

A delusion of grandeur. What a grand thing, to have a glimpse of love.]
