Gerrard hears her call his name just before the passageway shuts, and catches. He re-opens the doorway and walks over to her his eyes seeking hers, his heart beating an ever increasing speed. He leans in close to her, his green eyes still shining in the dark of the night.<br/><br/>"Never forget that for me in the here and the now, both my heart and my duty are one, melded and fused in purpose. I will see it through, nothing will stand in the way except time." He leans in and kisses her forehead once again before he turns away and walks with a heavy heart away from her, though he wishes only to stay. Sighing to himself in silence, he closes the passageway, leaving not a sign of his presence but for his poultice, the kit at his side.
