[ He blinks at her for a moment before giving a soft, incredulous laugh. ]
Hilda. I'm impressed you managed to put up with me for 800 days, let along 800 years. I never expected anyone to... to actually want to keep me around. The fact that you and Claude continue to do so, despite how epically I've fucked this up a few times... [ He shakes his head, giving another laugh, softer this time. ] I haven't had enough. I'm not sure there is an enough.
[ His hand comes to cup at her cheek, tipping her face towards him so he can hold her gaze. So she can see the seriousness in his expression. The earnestness. ]
I love you, Hilda Goneril. And those are words I never thought I'd say to anyone, let alone mean them. Our time together hasn't diminished that at all. If anything, it's only made it grow. And that includes all the pretty parts and the ugly parts and everything in between. It's still you. And that's all I want. All of it.
