I can handle anything this lot could come up with. [He will go down fighting, one way or another.] I'm not ungrateful for the chance to draw breath a little longer.

[If he could, he'd reciprocate, and there's a small pang of disappointment that he can't. Instead, when she pulls back, he twist his hand to catch hers, though only loosely. She can pull away, if she wants to.]

I always do. [As he's sure she would in his position--not that she would ever be in this position in the first place.]
no subject
I know you do.
And I'm afraid this is the extent of all that I can do for you.
no subject
It's more than enough, Primrose. Thank you.
no subject
You never seemed so easily satisfied. Are you certain about that? It's at least nothing to thank me for.

[ With a sweet smile but the sincerity behind her words is very true. ]
no subject
I certainly don't doubt that.

[ And there's also fondness there, for all that she doesn't exactly approve of his choice of target. ]
no subject
[He did not approve of his own choice either tbh. Stupid system.]
