[Arthur...]

His heart is in the words, all of them, no matter how intense. Perhaps especially in such a case.

[There is no one on this boat who knows how much of a vicious fuck I can be. Which is why I promise you, Arthur:

I will do everything I can to stay alive, to not go back to the dark world. But if there's no way out? If there's no hope at all?

I will make sure to take you with me.

And he knows, knows, Arthur will understand the love in that promise. Because he, John, would hate that. But for Arthur, he will.

The hand squeezes back.

[We'll do everything in our power to make sure it doesn't.]

He can't promise that they won't get there, not after all that. But he's given the promise that matters. He won't die on Arthur. He'll do whatever he needs to to survive and get back to him.

Speaking of...

[...do you think Kayne can see what happens here?]

[I would agree. I don't think he can see into this place.]

A pause.

[But I'd like to check with the Admiral. Do you think that's a good idea?]

John curls a finger to brush just the once against Arthur's hand in return.

[Agreed. The various layers and timelines that are connected to the reality that we're familiar with are, to the best of my understanding, entirely disconnected from the kind of people and beings that are found here.
Meaning the Admiral is on a higher level of reality than even Kayne would be a part of.

Something he can't access.

...I still want to check, though. Just in case. I trust the Admiral to be honest with us. Especially because it's not in his interest to do anything else.
