[ A lot to say, but not the hour to say it, given who they're trying to put into a cage. Jake Seresin, still bold enough to say, ]

You know I'll come back.

[haggle]

( you know. not exactly a promise, so much as laying it out like a flight map she should have memorized, by now — skies, storms, or seas, jake seresin finds a way to stay above ground. not exactly a promise, so much as the daring arrogance of men who've spent years rising above the world — pushing back against impossible odds, defying impossible physics, still coming out on top. what's a grave to jake, if not another challenge issued by gravity? how could she ever think something as mundane as six feet of dirt could hold him down, when the earth itself couldn't?

it's a comforting lie she won't let herself buy into. you know i'll come back. you know mortal shortcomings are for other men — human next to hercules, mettle and might that's made his immortal ego read like an unkillable myth. but she's lived through til death do you part before — didn't stop her from standing alone on the other side of it, waiting for someone who had already given up the ghost on her, long before she put the final nail in her hope. always, always, always the one waiting.

don't make me believe, she can't bring herself to write, that there's a chance any of this ends okay. )

keep telling yourself that, prince charming
maybe there won't be anything left for you to come back to
lucky you, huh? you won't have to stick around to see what happens
