"I'm relieved to hear about your real goals. I don't want this to affect us, Zed." 

*Her hand squeezed him just a little tighter. It seemed like she didn't want to let him go.*

"I care about you. Sometimes I went days without hearing from you, and I had no idea that travel wasn't the main danger. Listen..." *Isabelle tried to find the courage to get rid of the words.* "I already told you: I want to have a family with you. But for that, you have to be alive, and with me."
Shirley
"It won't. Since I met you, everything has been for you. Every job I've taken, everything I've stolen, the people I killed; it was for you. Comfort, safety. I want to give to you, so you can experience them as I have."

*Zed reciprocated the squeeze, and looked up to his love. A smile was on his face, and not his typical cool, calm one either. It was genuine, warm, and caring. A complete opposite from the cold assassin he once was.*

"You don't need to worry too much about me. I'm rarely hurt."

*At Isabelle's mention of a family, Zed felt his cheeks warm. He was blushing. Had he blushed before with her once?*

"You want a family... With me?"
Susan
*It was kind of strange for Isabelle to hear that someone killed for her. During slavery, she was the one who had to do everything for her master, even if such things disgusted her. Isabelle never killed anyone, not even a living being, whether animal or person. She should have had her time to think about it, but one thing was for sure; she wouldn't condemn Zed for that.*

"I'm happy to know that my man is someone skilled like that." *She smiled gently, letting out a small laugh.*

*Isabelle moved a little closer to Zed, her eyes scanning his entire face. She nodded slowly as she rested her eyes on his lips, moving up to his eyes.* 

"Yes."
Shirley
"Well, uh, it's the only thing I'm really good at. Besides maybe stealing and sneaking."

*As Isabelle moved closer, Zed froze. Her sparkling eyes and beautiful expression simply wrapped themselves around his otherwise nonexistent heart. He moved his other hand over hers, clasping them both.*

"I'll... Need to find a way. To make time. Maybe I can find one job that'll be enough to last. Or, uh, find another one?"

*Regardless of how he would do it, the assassin smiled. He reached over and embraced his lover, hugging her close.*

"Once we're safe and secure... This makes me so happy."
