    Summary

    “And you promised not to go if there was any other choice - and there is.” Martin shrugs again. “That’s the deal.”

    “That’s the deal.”

    “I guess that’s why it really bothers me, you know? I try, but I can’t… actually imagine ever making a decision that I knew meant losing you.” It sounds like a dig, even if it isn’t meant as one. He decides it’s okay to let it be hurtful, just a little, because it’s true. “I promised that first. I promised forever. I filed and waited and signed on the line. Better, worse, till death do us part.”

    Jon does scoff this time, the cruel echo calling back to them through the tunnel. “You know I didn’t mean - ”

    “Then you shouldn’t have said it.”

     

    (jon tells martin to cut the tether. he does. they go somewhere else.)
