[ He'll let Luke get his blame-game out because he knows what it's like to be that type of person. You have to wear yourself out and no amount of hearing that it's okay will make it okay. The real comfort comes with the affection, anyway. Words can't help that much in the end, but Luke is letting him really attempt to help. It's nice to have someone rely on him. ]
It took them too long to kill Elizabeth, I don't think there's a list. But he's protected, you know that. He has friends who are watching out for him. [ He's quiet for a moment and his arm loosens around Luke but not enough to actually pull away. Things are just calming down and he no longer feels like he might lose him right now. He feels Luke's grip tighten around him and that's fine. Whatever he needs. ] The queen might be counted in that number. So maybe she's the last one. One more.
It feels like the end, doesn't it? There's so few of us left, we're almost there. [ He thinks about it. He doesn't really want to take charge, that's not his style. But Luke is a hero and Adam doesn't mind being his sidekick. ] Let's do something, then. We'll make the end come. Dorian and Grell will help. We can get rid of the one or two left, but...
[ There's a certain weakness in his voice at the but and he knows they've had this conversation, but this is even more serious. ] But you can't be reckless. We're almost there. We're so close, Luke, and I'm going to get you back with me. Please don't make me into a liar.
