She doesn't have to protect him, doesn't have to do any of that. He wouldn't want her walking that path, not for him.

⠀⠀ he spent so long , refusing to acknowledge how important * 𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍 is to him . but he can't , not tonight ; showing up at her door ? yeah , a few knocks . ⠀⠀

His tone was softer now, a whisper as he brushed his thumb over the top of her hand, gentle, loving even. “Only because you've asked me not to, I won't get involved...but if it comes down to it, and they have to die...you know I'd do that for you.”

She can say that, but he wouldn't want her taking lives for him. . . even if its for love. . . . he loves her too, even if he doesn't say it alot.

“He won't want to do anything.” There's a concern in his eyes, a fire too; as if he was already thinking about what he'd do to Fisk if he hurt her. He'd make it painful, draw it out. Make the fucker suffer. “..Yeah, don't mention it.”

“Right...he ain't worth the anger, or frustration right?” He'd not push her to talk about it further, if that was everything she wanted to say, he'd let it go; for now.

“Oh, right; the movie is definitely worth it.” Taking the chopsticks fingers brushing hers as he did, a light smile. “Let's get back to this clusterfuck.” He jokes, pressing play once more.

He didn't mind her leaning against him, eating calm, more relaxed now. There's a laugh from his lips, as one of the most, ridiculous noises came from the TV, meant to be a scream, fake as shit. “Especially action and drama, because you can pick it apart.”

“Some fake ass goat sounding shit.” Like the screaming goat video - yes, he's seen it. He's smiling, even the fake blood liked like a damn halloween decoration.

“ you just enjoy asking the obvious ones don't you ? ” he grumbles out , gaze meeting the lawyers , a shake of his head , wasn't it obvious ? “ because i told you , all of you , i did this myself , i'm not sick ; i am fully aware of my actions , i don't regret it . ”
