Alex just stares at him for a very long moment, watching him as she puts down the notepad. Honestly she kind of wishes that she’d had a spare recorder that she could have grabbed. Recording at the end of the world seems like the right thing to do. And Jesus he sounds like Richard. He sounds like Richard so much that it hurts inside of her chest. Memory sits, painful and sharp against her ribs and her heart as she listens to him say that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. It’s harder than one would have expected to hear.
Which may be why Alex doesn’t pull away when Richard reaches for her. She lets him take her hands in his and Alex just looks into his eyes for a long moment before she responds.
“Yes. I sense danger. Thomas Warren is a danger and has been for god knows how long. He’s wanted to hurt me for a long time, I think and you bringing me to him practically with a bow is just going to make it easier for him. And you being there is just going to make it easier for him to damn everyone else as well.”
