Don't get all self-sacrificial; it makes you seem pretentious and stupid, and while I know you're the second, I didn't think you were so much for the first. Do you really think that he'd keep a promise? That what you're doing in any way counters him? Because it doesn't, Guv. All it does is bring him closer to you, and us. Manchester will end up half a savannah if you keep up with this, I promise you that, and when the people of the City you're supposed to protect get their necks ripped out of them by wandering cheetahs, it will be on your hands.

I do support you, Guv, you know I do. I'll always have your back. But I can't help but see this as more harmful than it is helpful, and I can't just stand back and watch. Ignoring your safety, I don't think it's better that you spend time around him. I think it puts Manchester, as a whole, more in danger than it would if he was kept away from our world.

Guv, I'd be surprised if he didn't know this was a play. I doubt you've been keeping your feelings about him to yourself, and you're not the sort who'd up and offer to work for someone you hate.

But that's what I'm saying! You're not fooling anyone by claiming you came to him because you wanted to. It's a defensive, protective move. It tells him a lot and it gives him leverage. A lot of leverage.

You could walk out.

If I thought it was the best thing.

I would. If there were lives to be saved, I'd bow down and kiss someone's feet to do it. Not that I'd want to, if there was another choice available, but I would.

[snappish] Then you're less than the man I thought you were.

No one is strong enough to take on anything. You're not God, Hunt; you're a bloody idiot of an human copper and you've already died once. I've told you before, Guv. There are all sorts of cowardice. Being too afraid to walk away is one of them.

I say you are.

Since long before you started putting faith in it.
